  1. thanks guys. I really appreciate the advice. I don't know these cars well enough and I just glaze over things when I get excited and go "i can fix that, I can fix that". I'll keep searching.
  2. Thanks for the feedback. Is it worth it to low ball him or should I just keep searching. I don't think I can expect a car with a clean body and no rust given the age of these cars. Just wondering what I should reasonably expect.
  3. Hi All, I have an lm7 and a t56 that I am planning to swap into something fun. I really like the styling of the S30's and I have been looking locally for one. I just came back from seeing this car. The Good Frame Rails Replaced Floorboards Replaced New Air Dam (Fiberglass) Custom Leather Seats Red & Black Flared fenders (fiberglass) Whale Tail (Fiberglass, not so sold on this) car and trans is out of car (not sure if this is good or not) engine compartment looked almost completely free of rust The Bad Owner had it painted and it is chipping and cracking in numerous places. Looks very poorly done There is a pile of expanding foam type insulation right where the flares were done, he says could be from the PO and the stereo system Car has been sitting for 5 years Rust can be see in places where it was painted and it has since chipped peeled off dash is cracked missing interior pieces missing tail light sections Generally, I can't say I trust the quality of the work that was done, aside from the seats, the paint job is horrid and fiberglass work on the dam, flares and whale tail have me suspicious. Also, I am afraid I will remove the paint to find rust in many places. Guy is asking $3500 and since I have no prior experience, just wondering what you guys think.
  4. The body shop is criminal. For them to take this long is outrageous.
  5. Great thread. signed up just so I could follow it. There is a 75 280z for sale locally and I also pulled an lm7 and t56 from the yard a few weeks back. Just looking for a project car. These look like they would be perfect. Since I can't afford a 996 porsche, this might have to do. Also, why not bore and stroke it in addition to the turbo?
