Why would you ship that from America? A 2+2 story
Villeman replied to Villeman's topic in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z
yes, I will most likely go back to the 75-76 chrome bumpers but move them closer to the chassis (e.g collapse the shocks) to make them somewhat less obvious. The small ones would be EU stock but a good chromed set will make you cry here ... -

Hello Guys, stangely I was asked for a bodyshop recommendation in Minnesota... don´t ask me why anyways, the car is american muscle out of a field, in need of large bodywork. Car has sentimental value to my friend and he wants it done in 18 month. Lower 1/3 needs replacement, panels can be bought. So: Can anybody recommend a shop willing to take it on for a reasonable price? (he got quotes around 100k ) thanks so much guys!

do yourself a favor and retrace the swap... just to be sure your starting point is where it should be http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/alternatorswap/index.html

Somebody living close to Fargo? https://fargo.craigslist.org/cto/d/1976-toyota-camper/6442317664.html looks fishy though.....

yes, it´s just a problem buying and shipping one. I was incredibly lucky with Dangerdan last time but I really don´t want to push my luck .... which is why it would be good if someone finds one off craigslist and can broker a deal ^^

As a matter of fact, yes... with an uglyed up front, because you can´t have headlights behind glass.... Thing is, those here are rusted out and i know Citroen Ds enough to know they are worse than Datsuns when it comes to rust.

Well, it´s worth asking. My 280z 2+2 is nearing completion, so time to look for the next project (and honestly, people here are crazy enough to actually hoard one; I am looking at you TonyD) My 3 Dreamcars are 280z 2+2 , Citroen SM and Toyota Chinook. If you ever wake up and find one blocking your driveway let me know ^^

Hello, just a quick question thats driving me crazy... the 280z has a small sensor attatched to the fuel sensor (see ) What is that and where can I buy a replacement? Everything else is perfect, just the small (capacitator?) is completely rusted away. Can I steal a generic one from some ebay fuel sending unit? THANKS!

My father took over the work somewhat while I am chained to a desk.... nevertheless, progress! we chose 1K Urethane rust inhibitor paint for the inside floors, seems to be working well

the one time i really like dark and moist garages when storing cars. Germany, the land of pristine uncracked dashes... even still flexes (but oh, the rust. Came from the black beauty 2+2 i butchered some time ago). Also, window is in (also from donor as last one broke sadly the windshield has scratch marks (who needs wiper blades .... ) . Did anybody try to polish those off? and rust be gone! (thanks dad!)
