Good book. But if you are going to do body work, get some body repair guides too.

How To Restore Your Datsun Z Car

It's good book. It has lots of useful information. If you are doing a true restore, I can't imagine a book that would be a better resource for original specs, dealer modifications, common owner additions, etc.

The Emblems where there when i got it Datsun on both sides and 280z on the hatch kinda cockeyed (at a slant)

I removed Air dam cause it was falling apart (fiberglass) and TAPED together with, I swear to God, bailing wire.
