mjp147 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I recently bought a 1975 280z. The floor and frame is completely rooted out from the fire wall to the front mounts on the rear end. To replace the floor and frame should I brace the body up with 3/4" x 3/4" square stalk before removing the rest of the flooring/frame? Any advice or how to pictures, would be appreciated.

z240 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The general idea is to brace the trans tunnel to the rocker at one or two spots (3/4 tube is fine) at about where the trans mount is located (second layer there), and to do one side at a time. Also be dilligent with how you support the car off the ground, ie do it well, level and solid. This gives the best chance of retaining alignment during repairs. zeddfindings and/or baddogparts are your friends for this repair if you haven't already found them. http://www.datsunzparts.com/products.html http://baddogparts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
