Mauisnow13 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 I've pulled up the carpet to see what was lurking down there. There were a couple spots where it had rusted through the floorboards. I'll most likely end up sanding all of the surface rust off from inside, then sanding away the edges of the holes till I hit sheet metal again. Then cutting away and welding in new metal where the rust is. Paint it all with rustoleum or rustbullet or something. I might just sand down all the interior and paint over it all just to help prevent it from rusting. The only places I've found rust was on the floorboards, battery tray and in the wheel well, which will probably be the hardest to take care of. I still have to straighten out the wiring. It'll be a project for me cause I'm not the best with wiring. Can't decide whether to do wiring first or rust repairs. I'll probably fix the rust first. I dunno though. What do you think? Any other opinions? Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauisnow13 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Oh, and the driver's side seat mounting brackets are damaged. Not from rust, just like broken. I dunno what to do with that yet. I might have to cut some out from another Z and weld them in. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauisnow13 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 I found out today that my 240z is sporting a L26. I know in the US it pushed less hp than the L24, but my engine was remanufactured by Goldstar in Japan, so I'm hoping it might have been one of the L26s from over there pushing 162hp. What do you guys think? Is there any way to find out? I keep finding out more and more about my #1542 Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
