It was in a 10 mph front end collision a few months ago. A friend of mine was going to see if he could fix it, but decided it would cost too much to be worth it. Condition: Front end damage Still runs, but really crappy. Shift lever got pushed back a little bit. Hood has been removed. Windshield very cracked (hood flew up) Left rear quarter panel and door damage. Everything seems to work fine electrically. Interior is in pretty good shape. No cracks or anything wrong with the leather that I can tell. No CD player 'pie-pan' rimsThis is my first post here and I'm not too sure how this works, so just let me know if anyone's interested in anything.It used to look like this car on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW

I miss it :(

Sorry about your Q45's fate. But thank you for thinking of the members on this board! Wes will probably take the interior if it inexpensive enough for his student budget.

Better stand back while the vultures descend!

Hope you can post again here soon with better news!

I'm sure we can work something out. The thing I'm worried about is shipping costs. Ridgecrest is kind of in the middle of nowhere to be picking stuff up.

Can I get pricing on the shifter bezel/ash tray, the center console/armrest, the steering wheel (asuuming no peeling) and the fog lights?

I may be interested in a few more pieces all depends on pricing :D

Anyone want to help out with pricing? I'd like to aim for half the going rate around here. I'll be as informative as I can about the condition of any parts anyone needs.

QShip - The front calipers are aftermarket, I'm sure. I had them replaced about a month before I stopped driving it.

Rex - The center console is a little weird - I have to push it forward before it will open up. It's done it since I got it. I'm pretty sure the foglamps are unusable. What kind of peeling on the steering wheel should I be looking for? I have the Q parked in my girlfriend's garage, so I can take some pictures if you'd like.

elwesso - I haven't looked underneath yet. I don't work on cars much, but I'll try to do what I can.

If the speakers are easy to get out, I'll try to send them out today if you're interested, but I have no idea where the amps are.

They are attached to the speakers. Here is a good site about removal (except the pic shows the removal of the amp which you won't need to remove). http://www.carstereohelp.com/s...e.htm

Thanks and let me know about pricing. My email addy is in my profile.

Ok, no go on the fogs :(.

The steering wheel should have a smooth and consistent texture around the entire circumference. It's not unusual for something from your (drivers) hands to get on it and cause the surface to flake/peel, exposing the material underneath the finished surface. Not sure on price, as I'm not sure how difficult it could be to remove/re-install. A pic would be helpful, you can use the link in my sig to post/host.

I'm really after the center console "lid", as mine will eventually show some wear.

As for the shifter bezel/ash tray, I was thinking $65 shipped. I want both pieces to make sure the wood grain matches. I also need to make sure the hinges and mouting hardware somes with it, please.

You can email me through my profile.

BIONICQ45 - I had to take out the back seat to get the speakers out, not too bad. They look new. $50 shipped?I'm at my gf's house so I can't get to my email, so if anyone has any inquiries, please call me. My cell number is (760) 608-3101

Rex - The steering wheel looks ok - no flaking or peeling that I saw. It has definitely been used, but still looks good.

The center console looked good until I got a closer look. It has 3 small scratches. I'll post a picture in a moment.

The shifter bezel/ash tray look really good. I don't think the ashtray's ever been used. $65 shipped is fine. Please call me if you want it sent out today, or I'll be home to check my email later tonight.

use our members rides sections for bigger pics...

See Rexs sig for directions...

just a thought, if you bought my Q and transferred a lot of the interior into it it would really make it look sharp, and it would be a real nice Q (REAL NICE)

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I'm kinda broke for now. I definitely wouldn't mind another Q, just now isn't the time for me.

Yes, the '94 has a small cupholder, good for 12 oz can size only. I just noticed the piece it's attached to is broken (see ripped leather). The inside part might be interchangeable, though.

ah, so the 94 the cup holder is on the center console, not under the cd player? that is what I was ultimately wanting, dont really want liquid over where electronics are housed.

I knew I should have salvaged the one off my maxima before I got rid of it.

The "normally" worn part of the steering wheel is cut off at the top of your pic. My guess is the process of taking it out may make it price prohibitive, but you should easily find a buyer for the airbag as it seem to not have deployed.

I'll get with you by the end of the week on the bezel and console and I would be interested in the center armrest as well, maybe all 3 pieces for $100? Just to be clear the shifter bezel would include the window switches and lock?
