WaiDai Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) I have a 1982 280zxt coupe 5 spd, and im looking at buying a 1983 280zxt 2+2 auto. What parts can be taken from the 2+2 and placed into the coupe? i logicly believe that everything from the targa top front seats and doors forward will fit but i might be wrong. can someone please help me out. im looking to take the interior aswell as the exterior like the headlights, tailights, exhaust system, and lots of other goodies but i dont know what can cross over and fit. please assist me hybridz members as i am about to buy the car possibly in 5 days.

WaiDai Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) might be better to just state what cant cross over, instead of what can since i am looking to swap alot of parts. Edited March 21, 2010 by WaiDai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the center console does fit btw) Engine is the same, the exhaust is the same diameter but taller (so wont fit) though the section that goes over the rear wheels fit in coupe and vise versa, welding is probably required. Also ... try to search as this has been covered a million times! Edited March 23, 2010 by frank280zx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doors in the 2+2 are longer. therefore, the inner door panels are longer, window glass, and yes the t-tops are longer. You could possibly cut the door panels up a little to fit if they are in really good shape. Its your call. Engine is the same. Perfect fit for a swap or a spare turbo engine. Although the driveshaft is longer (and auto is different flanged) the rear differential and other rear suspension is the same. The rear bumper, tail lights are also the same. The back hatch is NOT the same. Edited March 24, 2010 by BleachZee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelltainer Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Why do you need a cat? the car is technically an antique or classic car. I am pretty sure you dont need it. I know for a fact you dont here in Texas with an antique. Look it up on the govt web pages for smog legal in your area for classic cars. If you dont need it, take it to a muffler shop and have them weld a straight pipe in its place. its cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
