Where could I buy one and for how much. Also, how much does the replacement rear hatch sill plate actually replace?

Sadly, the hatch seal in my baby rotted out over the winter and the roof leaked on the car. I didn't take the rubber bung out when I stored it. :[

I'm planning on building this as a street/drag car with the turbo engine from the later '83 280ZXT and was wondering if I shouldn't just put a piece of metal down there and stick a fuel cell in it..

Opinions on what to do guys?

This isn't a normal rust out place so you should be able to source a good
used one. On the ZXT swap, DO NOT use the ZXT electronics, they are junk
and prone to problems. Very few of them run right and most end up with ECU
problems. Either use Z31 stuff or go aftermarket like SDS or megasquirt.

Well I had one 'cause I put a fuel cell in my V8 car (it's a '77 too). But
alas I had to leave it behind when I moved. But hey you probably want to
install a fuel cell too, if you're building it to drag race.
