Guest Paul Johnson Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hi, I have a 1973 240z that I'm wanting to paint, but the problem I have is that my doors are pretty rusty, not just the outside skins either the whole frame of the doors. The rest of this car is solid. I have heard that 75 and 76 doors will fit but 77 and 78 will not, is this true????? I have been to my local salvage yard and all I can find is 280z doors, so I need to know if they will work before I buy'em. Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 The lock & latch mechanisms are completely different. For all practical purposes, they will NOT work. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo240ez Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Can the latches be interchanged? I don't know... just asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 you have to use the same strikers from the car that the doors came from it takes a little work, but yes you can use them. ive seen it done. sidenote: 75 doors are identical to early 260, there is no impact bar in my doors, happy sidenote, I truly believe the early 75 280z (mine is 11/74) is the late 260 body with fuel injection.

denny411 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Paul, Where are you located? I have a pair of very solid 75 280Z doors. They have a couple minor dents, but could be fixed pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
