GeeZ Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Bolts behind the plastic panels. When you remove these be sure you plug the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two80z4me Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Bolts behind the plastic panels. When you remove these be sure you plug the holes. Do you have a photo? Do you mean the ones behind the bolt that you take off when first removing the rubber side of the actually bumper, on the rear left and right quarterpanels? There isnt anything plastic, if you could post a high lighted photo it would mean the world to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 There are bolts in the hatch 'floor' as well so you have to unbolt it from under the car as well as from inside the hatch IIRC http://www.zcar.com/forums/read/1/2065688 Forgot about that, you'll need to drop the tank, and I'm pretty sure I mutilated the brackets with a cut off wheel to get them out of those tiny bracket holes. I eventually just cut the whole rear out to shave it proper.

Two80z4me Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 For the top link, I already removed those 3 bolts, and it wont budge . And, After going back out I quickly realised that I would need to drop the tank lol. Which is ok because I was planning in taking it off and Wetsanding it, and maybe repainting it. Or just leave it because we all know "Raw Steel Means Sex Appeal" (from an old add, Raw Steal and Sex Appeal, borla exhaust) Is the easiest way to patch all the holes on the back-end after the removal just by bondo and sanding?

Megatherion Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Is the easiest way to patch all the holes on the back-end after the removal just by bondo and sanding? I recently shaved the rear of my Z. I hope this helps you. (click pics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
