ok i just purchased a 1979 280zx and my armrest for the sides of the door are not on but i got them... i was wondering what i could use to keep them on so i dont have to go to a junkyard and pick away at a 280. and what would be a easy cheap solution to get rust of my rims

 

ehh... screws? Sound like you don't have the stock rims, but just use sandpaper and a wirebrush.

 

the screws you can get at an hard ware store like home depot and as far as cleaning your rims get some 00 (zero zero ) grade steel wool and rubbing compound. i find that it takes care of surface rust quite nicely.

 

well like looking at my door thing it doesnt look like it takes screws so i guess i will try i looked at it and was like ok where is a screw but it dont look like it will fit i think the guy who owned it messed with the insida a bit.... and where can i get a new gas cap besides internet

 

Advanced Auto, O'riley's, or Autozone, or any walmart should have a gas cap,

 

it takes screws but there is a clip that goes in the as an insert that the screw threads into maybe the clip is missing and you just have a square hole now?

 

well yeah its not square its sorta more of a circle i havnt fixed it yet just closing by door handle thingee. ohh and all the places around here dont have a gas cap that fits so im using duck tape right now lol its cheasy but easy.

 

Ahh 200 mile an hour tape! LOL!

 

lol.. i used masking tape and it fixed the prob for now but i got a buddy who has a 280 thats out of service so i now got that cap so yay im ready to look good again
