tpnorth Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Okay im new to the forum but i must say this is one of the best automotive forums ive been on.Okay so i picked up a 280zx project a few weeks ago for 400 bucks a steal but the previous owner bought a new carpet and dash cap.My question is i dont have an old carpet to reference and im confused about two things one should there be something around the stereo like near the floor boards i have screws hanging out but nothing to cover it and im not sure where to cut the carpet to tuck it.Next how is the e-brake cut with the carpet, do i cut around it or cut and pull it through it.Okay and next for the dash cap whats the best adheasive to use, living in florida it will be in the heat and i dont want it comming up. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue72 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Sorry, I own a 240Z and clicked the thread out of curiosity. I did 2 minutes worth of googling and came up with a site with many nice large pictures of what looks to be a stock 280ZX Turbo. Plenty of interior shots, so maybe that'll help you out. http://www.scottiedog.com/zcar/page2.htm Maybe you could look at the Blackdragon Auto catalogues online to see how things go together as well. Just my .02¢ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpnorth Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 already was on blackdragon i think thats where the carpet is from but i think ill just wing it and try and make things look clean thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
