in my 92 z28 i have the new motor but no rivit gun so is it possiable it just put bolts in the place of the rivits?

 

Yes you can do that.Most of the time when you buy new motors anyways, they come w/ nuts and bolts to attach them.

 

ok thank also do you know a easy way to get the door panel off without messing it up? how do you get the old rivits out?

 

You have to drill the old rivets out.The door panel is easy to get off also.Just take your time doin as to not rip and clips off the cardboard around the outside of panel.

 

so the cardboard just pops off and then you can take the panel out?

 

The upper portion, black plastic that runs the length of the door, can be a pain the first time. Roll the window down, push in and up on it at the rear of the door to pop the first fastener, then work your way toward the front of the door. Total of four fasteners, IIRC. Also, some of the torx head bolts on the plastic of the door handle/mirror area are fake. Use a magnet of you'll round them out (don't ask me how I know). Consider the following link:

i confused i tryed to get the panel off and i think i did something wrong...i tryed pulling the black pastic off and it was connected to wood and little wood chips were falling out. what did i do wrong?

 

bump

 

i really need help now the plastic isnt laying flat like it was before...what did i do wrong? has this happened to anyone before?

 

Apparently you didn't remove the panel correctly. Once the door panel is removed, you'll see that the plastic piece is secured to the panel, which is very heavy cardboard of some sort. Once the "nuts" are removed, the plastic comes off easily.

well then how do you get the panel off?

 

Remove arm rest and the plastic panel which includes the locks, mirror adjustment, etc. Pop the Christmas tree fasteners round the door's perimeter. Do as suggested above. Buy a manual.
