Tim240z Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Man, I hope that you are getting this for a GOOD price! What you would have to do is find a donor car at a JY and cut out that section, then cut out the section on this car and weld it in. I am definitely not an authority on body work...maybe some of the resident experts will chime in with some advice. It is definitely do-able. Make sure that you check that car for structural rust...that may be a more important aspect in your decision to purchase this thing.

denny411 Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 that looks like a perfect candidate for a wide body kit,or maybe the subtle Z kit. Just knock out as much as you can and cover it up I`d buy it in a minute(if it was cheap enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim240z Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 What do you plan to do with it? Restore or Hybridize? That's a good price for sure...does it drive under it's own steam? TIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bang847 Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 man that is a good price.. look like you can pound and curse that panel out! I got mine for 800 and now i think i got ripped off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 That is an excellent buy. Even with the damage the car is a gem as far as I'm concerned. Nice job! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 HEY.. if you see a fat man pulling out two one hundred dollars when you show up to buy that silver car .....It is me beating you to the punch for not getting on a deal. It is worth over two hundred in parts. and rust does not seem to be a factor with those license plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Me too Tim? I want to mold the front end of my CRX onto the Z! J/K David, Man, what a good buy! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
