I just had a question...

[dhampirkyo]

I found a 1990 300ZX twin turbo for 2600$ but its has some damage to the driver side I was wondering if I should get it and fix it up or just leave it...

[Wetmyson]

that looks like quite a bit of work. if i had the money, i'd definitely buy it as a parts car. but i don't have the money....oh well.

[dhampirkyo]

it comes with a replacement door i would need a side skirt and the fender but i am not sure what else thats why i am wondering if i should get it or not...i would like to get those fixed and get it started again

[skitz047]

that thing looks like it's been sitting awhile, how's the engine/mileage? If you got it, you might want to think about putting some work into it (which means more money also). Maybe a 60k kit.

[yoozef]

looks to me like the frame is bent... if the drame is straight i think you should talk him down to $2000

[dhampirkyo]

here is a pic of the engine it has 89K miles on it

[evildky]

it needs some time on a frame rack for sure, and hope they can pull it out enough, find a body and frame shop, I'd expect at least $1k to get the frame pulled out, and thats withut any finnish bodywork, just pulling it into shape

[skitz047]

I would go for it, if worse comes to worse you could sell the front end to someone locally who wants to swap.

EDIT: just looked at the price. I would try and talk them down to 24

I don't think this is just a "fixer-upper". That's a pretty big hit, and I don't think that the sub-frame could possibly be straight. Having said that, the "replacement door" won't do you any good if the sub-frame can't be straightened. I think it would make for a valuable parts car, but I'm betting that it was totaled, and that's why it's there.

It wouldn't be a quick fix, that's for sure!

is this Z from the Maryland area? I knew a guy close to me selling a somewhat low milage tt that had pole damage to it, same color as above?

could just be a coincidence I suppose\

Oh and I would say that its not fixable, that damage is just way too severe... your just best off getting a poor running NA and using this car for its parts as most of the driveline and engine parts look to be intact. You could esstentially have a tt for less than $5k!

[96SoftTop]

I'd LOVE to have that car for parts, but I don't think that you can turn it into a street - worthy car.

thats alot of damage, i'd talk him down to 2000$ and if he takes it -- buy it!

Then you can buy an NA in decent shape for 4-5000 and you're set

[MrOC]

Hell if it was local to me i would buy it in a heart beat.

THUMPthump THUMPthump THUMPthump.....

yuppers. I'd buy it if it were within 100 miles...

You can't fix it, but it has some GREAT parts!

I saw this too, its in IL, the guy doesn't respond to emails. Its a salvage shop I believe. Its on a few sites

Frame damage no doubt, its gonna need a lot of cash to fix up alla that

2k if it runs

1k-1500 if it doesn't

Then you can buy an NA in decent shape for 4-5000 and you're set

don't buy any NA for 5 grand.... there are plenty of TTs for that

also a donor car by which you are throwing out everything should be like 2k, I have seen plenty of Z donors in mint cond. for that
