280zx 2 seater rear hatch

Post by ZYX » Tue Feb 19, 2008 9:04 pm

How feasible is it to modify a 2+2 hatch to fit a 2 seater? My 2 seater hatch is definitely past its use-by date, and they seem pretty difficult to find, but there seem to be a few 2+2 hatch's around.
My restoration will be finished in time for the next meet. Really. No, REALLY. Maybe......

:cry: Uh-oh, you have the same problem I had! I was fortunate enough to be offered a 2-seater hatch up in Whangarei, many thanks to Tony (Rusty260). My intention originally was to modify the 2+2 hatch to fit but the shape is quite different and it would not be easy! I would recommend sticking with the old one for now and keeping an eye on the classifieds and TradeMe.

Have you asked Nissan to see if they can still get new? I know some panel parts can still be had new - they cost a lot but it will be new.
