darom Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi guys, I am looking for some ideas in regards to 76 interior pieces. I did something illogical: - painted the car and installed the windshield glass - and later, bought the "How to restore a Datsun" book to find out that the darn windshield rubber gasket is a part of the inside trim!!! I am contemplating to glue as close as I can to the gasket the side pillar vinyl pieces, however since I won't be able to stretch the vinyl, most likely the whole job is going to look sloppy. The same applies to the front sun-visor's piece. Is there any car I can junk yard interior plastic pieces to match the Datsun's internal lines? I wouldn't mind to drill a few mounting holes to hold them. Would later 1980s 280zx pieces fit the earlier model? Is there any company that makes fiberglass trim? I can ask Derek who does the speaker pods, but I don't believe the demand is out there for these parts. Any ideas? Thanks! Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp123166 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Dude, 77-78 280z's have plastic a-pillar covers that are a direct fit, one just needs to drill holes to mount or one can use 2 sided tape to mount. They totally clean up that area. I put them in my '76 I have a repaired pair if you're interested...

darom Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 dhp, once mounted, does the vinyl side trim go under them, correct? Or is there another plastic piece that connect the pillar with the back dome light piece? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
