Thanks, if you have pics, it'd be appreciated.

I've been looking around for a shell, and so far, haven't really found too much, and what I have found I think is a bit much for just a rolling chassis. Although one stood out, $800 for a 2+0 with a bad motor and auto trans, interior kinda rough, but from the pics, the exterior looked pretty decent. Interior doesn't mean nearly as much to me, that's a lot easier/cheaper than body work. But yea, just wondered what I should try to shoot for, maybe I'm just in a bad area for z's...thanks guys.

Curious what it could look like, LSx swap may make this something nice to have. If someone wants to hook it up, it'd be appreciated. Thanks!

This may seem like a stupid question, but as far as a pedal assembly goes, what did you guys use? I'm assuming the pedals that were in the car with modified cables, but just curious.

That dash is about exactly what I was looking for, although it's not in a z32. If anything, I have quite a few buddies that weld, and I can try to make a rough shape with cardboard, fab the real thing up with steel sheets, then cover it with the plastic so it looks legit.

I'm undecided as far as a transmission choice, but a t56 is most likely what I'd like to end up with, auto's are consistent, cheaper in the long run, but I want something I'll enjoy driving all the time. I wouldn't mind an lt1, but with the availability/power capabilities of the 5.3 over it, it's a tough choice. I also found a nice n/a shell for $800, has everything in it, but the motor is blown. Probably worth it, but I'm gonna make sure this is the route I want to go instead of buying a ♥♥♥♥ ton of stuff, then backing out of the project.

Definitely a good link, thanks. I'm assuming that people are using the 300zx rear end along with this, and had a few ?'s about it...how strong is it, a custom driveshaft would almost definitely be needed if I'm right, and how strong are the axles? And again, how much of the interior will change, if anything, I think it'd almost be easier to re-do the interior all together. (buy black plastic "sheets", cut to fit how I want it to look, make a dash with all new gauges, etc.) When I'm done with this, I'm not gonna be shooting for crazy numbers, just full bolt on, cam/intake/possibly a set of heads, but unlikely.

When I first started looking, I didn't know there was a difference, but yes, would definitely rather prefer a coupe. And iirc, you were the one that I saw while reading up on this. And as far as a motor goes, no way I'm wanting a LS1, too many other ls motors with similar capabilities for waaaay cheaper. Has anyone "made their own interior", and just cut whatever needed, etc? Use the original dash, but use all new gauges, possibly just use the cluster from another vehicle along with the drivetrain swap.

With the short searching I've been doing, I found that a few people were saying a LT1 would fit "easier" than a LSx motor. Given the similar capablilities of the lt and ls, anyone feel like shedding a little bit more light on this? And is there any engine bay room difference between a 2+0 and a 2+2? I'd like how the 2+0 looks better, but whatever fits best will work.
