  1. Five surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their tails are interchangeable." The fifth surgeon says "I like engineers . They always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end."
  2. say it aint so haha well, I guess rust repair will be another skill to add to my repertoire. If only I could afford Betamotorsports' CF hatch... Back to the original intent of the thread, however. What should be replaced in order to bring a non-op back to life? Assuming, of course, that the car ran perfectly before being shut down.
  3. No, I'll ask him to go take a look at it later this week once I've figured out how much more I'm going to have to invest in it. I'm not entirely sure that it IS rust on the hatch, it might just be a leaf or some sort of debris
  4. I realize that there are plenty of cars around, its just that this one is right in my backyard, and if I can justify the cost of getting the car running again to the owner, he may let it go at a much lower price. Apparently this guy is a science teacher at the high school I went to, so I have no reason to believe he's a stubborn SOB. Plus, this way I have the opportunity to get my hands dirty and learn something, rather than buying a car that just works (although I doubt that's the case with these cars we love)
  5. EDIT: Anyone know what kind of wheels these are? Dad couldn't find any rust, it's a CA car so I wouldn't expect it to be TOO much of a problem. I don't know how flexible he is on the price, but if I can get a compound cost of getting this car going again, I'm sure he'll be open to negotiation. EDIT: so far for suspension, as per http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=114631, I've got the following cart
  6. Right now I'm away at school but I found this Z on my home craigslist and asked my dad to go take a look at it. He took these pictures: It hasn't been driven in 4 years, so I want to know the basics that I'd need to get done in order to get it going again. I'm going home for spring break in 3 weeks, and I'd really like to get the car running by the end of that week so I can drive it back up here (~250 miles) So far, I figure new tires, brakes, belts and hoses, carb rebuild, wheel bearings, clutch. Dad also thinks that the suspension needs work. I figure if I can get a list of what I need and get it all shipped home before that week, I can get stuff done relatively quick Also, taking into account the cost of getting it running again, what would be a fair price to offer? My dad is thinking 2200 but neither of us really know the cost of getting this thing back up again. Thanks guys. -Ravi
  7. These 3D scanners are pretty cool. Someone posted this cheap DIY solution up some time ago http://revision3.com/systm/laserscan/ I'm tempted to do some scanning of my own and take it over to my school's rapid prototyping lab.
