Nate, Tell us that you are doing your car for yourself and not what ding might pay you for it. You owe it to yourself to set out and wring $30K out of your car when it's done and the buying public be damned!!

My first Datsun I bought for $2500 back in 88 and everybody said "it's not worth it". My response was "not worth it to whom"? They all said "you couldn't sell it for that" and my response was, ready for this? "Aint selling it"!!\

The minute you start looking at the value of your ride based on what someone else says it's worth, you are then playing someone else's game.

Just saying....

Oh yeah- ONLY for me! Plus I figure if I go buy a new Z it will cost $30k plus anyway... so why not have the one I like the most of all for the same price.

Bruce - great words to remind those of us who continue to pour copious amounts of cash into S30's. Because if you went into a rebuild with a selling price in mind and actually worked out the true cost, you'd never start.

Here, I'll make you all a deal. If you don't want to go to all the hassle of doing a car that you'll lose your hat, arse and overcoat on, just sell me the beater with a couple of shoe boxes full of hundred dollar bills buckled into the passenger's seat. I'll bring a trailer and a check and hustle right back home to make sure the check is good. Guaranteed I'll pay 80% of what's in the shoe boxes. That's better than most whippings you'll take and you don't have to spill all that sweat doing the work.....

Cheers
