afbrian13 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I bought a 81 Zx for the motor, trans, and wheels/tires. its pretty rusted but mechanically is pretty decent-excpept the blown rear end normally i would never trash a Z, but frame rot and body rot worse than usual has led this N/A to its death. I've grabbed the good t-tops, some decent interior parts, and the brake booster for my 280z. what other stuff should I grab before I ditch this thing? Any other parts that I can use to mod my 76? Are the rear disks worth keeping for my Z? This isn't a for sale thread, I just want to make sure nothing gets wasted. Thoughts? Thanks!

BluDestiny Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Front strut tubes, 510 guys use them for coilover swaps, possibly the rear brake calipers if they aren't the elephant ear ones, also some people might need glass. I actually need a new hatch, too bad you're not in Socal. You could take the gauges out, people might want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FricFrac Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 If you pull the gauges make sure you grab the dash harness that goes to the main harness. That way people can convert to/from Digital/Analog. You can use the larger brake master but probably not the booster. The front struts the 510 guys usually want. Caliper are always useful. Fenders if they aren't rotten as well. T-Top weather stripping, front windshield, ECU, tail and marker lights including the ones in the front bumper. Trim pieces, Dash.

afbrian13 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 pulled the glass that was good, pulled all lights and good interior parts. the hatch only has 2 SMALL bubbles starting on it so it is ashame your not closer. windshield was cracked. pulled the wimdow motors and switches, power mirrors-with wiring and switches. I think with the right body kit (type 2 or 3) they actuall wouldn't look bad on a 280z, plus power mirrors would be great for the pass. side. pulling all the matching lock cylinders and ignition switch with key:-). seats shot, fenders shot, doors rusted out, floor rusted out, weather stipping shot. I already have a complete 78 dash sitting in my shed and don't really feel like keeping another one around. might see about the gages. I'm getting tired of it taking space in my garage, especially since I have people that want me to work on their cars!$$. Its pretty well stripped and I'm keeping the wheels off of it once I get to the JY anyway. If anybody needs something hit me up for shippiong costs, I'll let you know if the part is good. Like I said, hate to pull the plug on a Z, but at least she can keep as many others going as possible! Know when its time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
