There is nothing like fronting someone in person, if the place is closed then ask around nearby. If there are other businesses nearby they will have an idea on what's going on, give them a bit of a sob story to help with the info. But, I'll say it again for emphasis, grab a holt of this fellow and, first priority, get the car if there are any doubts as to his situation.

Your second post says in effect sell it. These sorts of decisions are very personal, there is some very good advice above which should help though. What sometimes works for me is using the imagination to try to feel like as if an actual decision had been made one way or the other.

Seen a few S30's with towbars on, pretty easy as far as towbars go.

???????????????????

Shipping costs Australia/North America are heart stopping, the bulk and length of that front spoiler would require expensive packing too so good luck grannyknot.

Topstage is a one man business, he basically works with clients individually to make custom one offs. The one pictured is for a time attack car so strictly racing. Freddy is just not set up to make and sell multiples.

That IMSA kit looks bloody brilliant, wonder if it could be adapted to fit my Z31 race car project?

Anyone buying a Z31 should buy a good one or go for something else. The mechanicals are no problem it's the body and trim, get one that has not been parked out in the weather. I bought one for a race car and while the body was straight it had rust in places that were not obvious eg the bodywork underneath the front edge of the windscreen was rusted right out and was impossible to repair economically back to standard. This damage could not be seen without pulling the dash out.

Audi Q7 sport version is faster than my track Z, it's the ultimate in cool to be able to do that, my one regret is getting the practical Jeep rather than a ball breaking new Q5 I had lined up.

Audi Q7 then, V6 TDI has a towing capacity of 6,500 lbs in my country, Cayenne has the same power train I think. Either is much better than a BMW SUV, they can be a money pit.

Use the GKN one from a S chassis instead of messing around with that problematical knock off. I have no clue as to which US S chassis cars had these as OE, maybe none at all but they were a selected world option.

Geez, the price is right.

My guess is that they are drag reducers when you straight liners have a air brake out back, maybe they incidentially help keep things tidy back there too.

Now you are going euro I'd go for an Audi, the Q5 with the V6 turbo diesel. They haul, both with and without a trailer and seem to be one of the more reliable euro's.

Jeep Cherokee current KL model but I'm a furriner so have no idea of US prices, costs. All I know is that for a not very big SUV she tows like a beauty and is really nice to drive.
