Black panel on floor?
I mean both, but better to remove wipers and pull cover. I had this exactly problem. We welded a patch in the floorboard at that spot to repair it. Also repaired the holes in the cowl around the air intake. So the water was leaking down the inside under the carpet so you couldn't really see it.

Check the area under the cowl cover where the wiper motor is. The air intake tends to rust out under there allowing was to run down the firewall to the very spot where your rust hole is. If that is rusted through you'll need to repair that as well.

Z's on BAT and other places collection
Looks like this thread is becoming unmanageable. Are you guys managing your post lists? Because when they're sold they need to be deleted. Don't make people run through a list of 20 cars that have been sold. Frankly I'm not convinced this thread is helpful.

Headlight upgrades
https://www.thezstore.com/datsun-240z-1971/product/865/chrome-classic-hid-projector-headlight-kit-70-83-240z-260z-280z-280zx https://www.thezstore.com/datsun-240z-1971/product/867/chrome-classic-hid-projector-headlight-kit-v2-70-83-240z-260z-280z-280zx So I'd like to hear opinions about these two options, and/or others. There not much in the descriptions on the MSA site. I don't want this thread to go negative, and all about brands. Thanks.

Rear tie down hooks for originality: Yes or no?
I have my straps in a box somewhere, and decided not to reinstall them for couple reasons, 1) limit usefulness, and 2) would need complete refurbish of the metal parts and new webbing.

Storage lid holes
I never cared for the straps. The metal finish was low quality, and they had very limited utility.

Door Internals Window Mechanisms Regulators, Etc
It's a difficult job, so replace all the consumables (eg, rubber, rollers, etc) while you're in there. Grease what needs after cleaning all parts thoroughly.

Windshield Sprayer Nozzle
You know what we really need? New sprayer nozzles. Mine are mostly shot, and I hate them. Too bad there isn't a better nozzle out there.
