280zx adventures in Siberia

Hello!

Recently I bought a '80 280zx 2+2 t-tops, and now I'm at the very beginning of restoration, so I really need a few advices. Oh, yeah, I live in Russia, so this project gets even more complicated - we have only five 280zx in whole country ;-)
Body is OK, but interior is ruined.

So, I'm wandering if coupe doors are the same as t-tops car?

Also, maybe someone got extra interior parts for sale.

Especially looking for door interior parts - handles, panels, locks, rubbers.

Need any help, it's not easy to restore Z here in Russia.

Thanks

Wow, lots of...where should i start? 5 lug swap, nice! never seen that body kit before. a little ricey for my taste but its cool. and you scored on some 83 taillights! good for you. door panel looks custom built for better audio sound, i like that. as for advice, (im going to be a hypocrite) but use the search box first. but cool Z!

im pretty sure those are 79-81 tail lights not 83's
The door from a coupe are different from the 2+2 door. the 2+2 are longer so your going to need 2+2 panels.. the handles and locks should be the same though..

Yup, 79_81 tails, just like Tue set I have hanging on the wall in my garage. Looks like a dang good starter car, mate! Door panel is definately custom, body kit is something I havent seen, gotta love the fender mirrors, the exhaust looks like it should be served with teriyaki chicken, and the 5 lug swap is definately a keeper!
