Someone PCS and have to dump their car?

 

just didn't want to mess with parting it out and was going to junk it because the body is a little tweaked from drifting or an accident or something. so it can't pass JCI. everything I need out of works great though and that's all that matters. I'm looking at how much manifolds and parts are for this engine... AMAZING! i'll have my whole car done with SR20 and a mild build for less than 10K including shipping my Z to japan :wink:

 

so far i'm at:

3000 for 74 260Z

300 engine/tranny

1600 shipping to Japan from Cali

Great find. I will have to warn you about covering your car in a tarp like that. Acts as a greenhouse and actually traps moisture in with the car. Seen this mistake over and over again especially in the south. Your car will rott away faster like this than if it was uncovered. I know of a shop in Ishikawa that use to do all my paint jobs for me. Real good and loves doing older metal. I can find his contact info somewhere if you are interested..

thanks man. I've got a cotton car cover over it and it usually just has that on it. the blue tarp gets put on over the cotton car cover when the rain approaches.

 

i'm still very concerned about the rust here. parts of my car are showing their give to oki humidity already and it's only been here for a month.
