I am thinking...one of the LS1 Z's here with nice paint and all may hit 26k. The two LS2 guys here on the site has very very clean looking cars with very clean swaps....I wonder what the Ebay world would pay for them.

That looks great! When you post it...put a link to the ebay ad so we can see.

It is real easy to bash based on one example but for myself I have seen some of their work in person. Where? At local shows here in NYC. To make matters worse, I am defending a show I do not even like. If one was to think about the amount of money this guy makes and every job his shop did was like what is posted in that thread, would he be where he is today? It is one thing not to like the concept of the show and to think we all can do a better job or do it different but to say that the "show" itself is "trash" for the work they do is bs. All the yelling and characters you see is for TV....what show that themes around reality doesn't have drama? Ever shop/garage I know of that has atleast 3 people working in it...always has "drama" due to different personalities. As for the quality of the work....you pay for what you get...2 sides to ever story.... The show you should be bashing is Pimp My Ride!! lol

Are you getting the rear hatch seal from 1tuffz? Def can't wait to see pics of the car. I told 280zforce I am waiting on this guy to mail me 1 brand new JDM head light cover with no hardware...makes a good spare if I ever get a set!

Unique Whips, though not my cup of tea and never really liked watching it....those guys do have talent. No I am not talking about putting some big wheels on a car but the custom work that is done looks really good. Difference is: Show cars vs Street cars vs Street Driven Show Cars

Arnz you bought them? Good deal. I took the part numbers from the pictures in hopes to one day find another set. Take pics when mounted to the car for us!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180188159300&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008 Spoke to the seller a few days before these things sold...he had a bunch of nice things that went fast with the buy it now option. Fairlady tail lights for the s30 went for $550 and a band new Fairlady front bumper $500! Guess who has a JDM front bumper still in the wrapping??!! lol I should of bought those head light covers due to the fact I might get a FairLady next year...o well Maybe the next NOS set..lmao!

lol, did you pick up that set on Ebay for $752? yesterday? There is also 2 sets (used) on Ebay right now!

Bump.......tonight 9pm Send me a pm if you need help

Wish you were closer...I would be all over the zxt powertrain

Tomorrow I will take a good look....I understand what you were saying now.

All I have to say is.....Resto jobs.....help us build our hot-rodz!!! Keep selling on Ebay!

Some of those prices are HIGH....I guess I havn't been around the Z cars long enough to know what some of these parts are worth....$600 for a front strut..wow

Of course parts! lol I have my lil list ready.

I second that thought! I bought them and they basically feel apart within 2 days!!! But I didn't plan to use them for long....I am going to strike up a deal with 80LT1

Looking good...no bids

Exactly why I keep them all from part cars or buy them cheap for other guys! Radios sell from $100 - $225. Depends if it works, clean, uncut wires. There are lots of parts that most of us wouldn't buy because we would find a HybridZ way to make it work! lol

I have sold 2 radios over $200. I have 2 more for sale that will hit Ebay soon...

I understand what you mean. I hope whoever bought the car is able to save it because it did look very clean.

That is true. You get plenty of people bid up their own auctions and giving the public the wrong message about how much the car is worth. Then one of those people say, "Damn my car is cleaner than that so it must be worth 15K". I think everyone here knows what to look for when buying a Z, so we will keep the market at a fair price.

I don't think in your lifetime or mine will we see Z get to the point where they are very expensive that we will want to drop the habbit. I believe as the market value grows, more people will start producing parts...as more people produce parts....someone else will come along and be cheaper with same quality. I believe if our Z's become less and less popular....that will be in the end of the Z car. I think everyone here who puts as much time into their cars as the next guy...would love to see if one day they wanted to sell their car that the market says the car is worth something. Collect the parts while you can, lol.

Hoke, np. Will do when I get home. The car is pretty rough and full of rust...no longer complete but that shouldn't be a problem for you!

And what do you mean by early Z's? s30 bodies? Plenty of them around....on the road/running different story.

Every Z I get is a parts car to me unless it is not rusty. This car can be saved and made back into a driver but for people like me, it helps fund my car if I parted it out. I was also thinking about that guy out there who has done a complete resto to the frame and is missing partsto but his back together. A parts car doesn't mean chop it up and crush it. It is sometimes for extra parts only.

Thats fine, I know he is in no rush.....want the entire shell? Have anyway to pick it up? I would have bought it but it was to far for me and I have 3 part cars right now.
