75 280Z doors on 77 chassis


Recommended Posts

The obvious difference is the door latches. What I'm curious on is what others have done to make this work. All my searching turns up with the reverse, and people are using the 77/78 doors on an earlier body. I have the opposite, and have 75 280Z doors.

 

My current idea is to use the two bolt provisions on the 77 body with a plate and weld my latch to that.

I think that the seals are different also.  You might look at everything involved to get a good working and sealing door.  Besides the oddness that the next owner will have to deal with.

 

Are the hinges the same?  You could remove all of the latching hardware and test fit the doors.  You'll either see just a latching problem or things will be more complicated than you anticipated.
