christoc Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 So tomorrow (Sunday) I'm making room for the 73 240Z in the garage, which means that I'm taking the 78 2+2 to the scrap yard. I've pulled the motor and transmission. I'm going to pull the diff out, saved the locks from the hatch and doors/ignition. Kept some of the front body work. as my 73 came without. Pulled the dash thinking I might be able to sell it. Pulled the headlights, front turn signals, mirrors. I'm putting in an L28ET into the 73, not yet sure if I'll use the transmission from the 78 or not yet, but most likely will (according to the markings on it, it's from a 79zx originally) What else should I take off the car before it goes? Anyone have any recommendations? Anyone need anything in particular before I scrap it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technicalninja Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 keep all the mounts, bars ect from the rear end. I/2 shafts, stub axles, and inner flanges. Front hubs (makes some of the brake upgrades easier) Complete AC system (if orig nissan). All of the interior parts are worth keeping if nice. Gas tank if nice. Bumper tips if nice. Hood and vents. Be sure to remove the spot welded in turn signal mounts as you will need them. Hood release cable. E brake cable Speedo cable. Rad overflow bottle and mounts. WW bottle. Entire combo switch from column.Column covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 When you say a 78, is that an S30 or an S130? If its an S30, I am interested in the bare struts (all four). By that I mean just the strut/stub axle assembly. No brakes, discs, hubs, springs, shocks. Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Cut the rear fenders. The deck lid (trunk plate, bottom) Glass. Lights. Headliner. carpet if still good. This is if you intend to sell and not use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christoc Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well the car is gone. I didn't get as much as you guys woulda liked, I didn't have time to de-skin anything today. I'll post some pics later, hope to start work on the 240 Tuesday night, time to start cleaning it up so I can begin installing all the necessaties(sp?).
