Currently upgrading my suspension and brakes. Remove the from tow brackets and found a good amount of rust on bothsides. Located just above the front sway bar location. I searched the forums and didn't find anything showing how this part tackled. I know 12 guage replacement pieces are sold for the sway bar location but haven't found any for the rest of this section. Ill eventually need to address rust on the radiator support. Pointers are appreciated

Guys i am trying to figure out the best way to glue the factory vinyl back on the strut towers. I know contact adhesive is what most people use. Is this really the easiest/best way to do it? With all of the different angles and cuts of the vinyl coverings, it seems like it won't be easy to do on the first shot. Most seem like they start from the top, with the vinyl inside-out, and work their way down. But is there an adhesive that can be used that won't bond on contact like the contact adhesive? Something that once the vinyl is in place, can be moved around a bit to make sure the vinyl is where it needs to go exactly? Any help here would be appreciated. Getting this vinyl glued on is stopping me from finishing a lot of the trim work as it goes underneath quite a few pieces obviously. Thanks

I have a 1982 280zx 2+2 N/A and need to know whether or not my front strut assemblies are model specific or production date specific. My production date on my car is ( 1/82 ). When I had called the junkyard in order to find a new strut tower assembly since mine has a bent wheel hub affecting the camber, he asked me the production date of the vehicle to verify if his strut assembly would fit my car. I have had only one scrap yard ask me for this additional information out of the many that I called looking for the part. So that brought up a red flag for me. From my prior knowledge, I thought everything in the front end of the vehicle was compatible for all S130 years. So if anyone can shine light on my situation, that would be great. If I am confusing anyone, here is a parts diagram of the strut assembly. I am looking for part number: 53402k as pictured below. Or 53403k since I am looking for the LH passenger front assembly. Or even 54308k since that looks like the wheel hub and strut container tower without the spring etc. Thank you.
