Stealth240Z Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share #85 Posted November 7, 2015 Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I recently did some heavy sanding and some sandblasting on one side to truly see what I was dealing with. Here are a few pictures... Only today did I come to the realization that this is truly a goner, although I still don't want to put it down. I am going to sell parts to make some money and hopefully fund an actual build. The money will also help me buy some needed things for my Jeep. Been kind of down all day. I can only pray that someday soon I find a better chassis to actually make road worthy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgimus-maximus Posted November 7, 2015 Share #86 Posted November 7, 2015 Search craigslist and other zcar forms and I would be very surprised if you don't find another workable car in 6 monthsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth240Z Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share #88 Posted November 7, 2015 I have searched all over and found some promising examples. My problem is money, but I'll see what all I can sell and save up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgimus-maximus Posted November 7, 2015 Share #89 Posted November 7, 2015 Just give they guys a call and see how much they are willing budge on the price, when I bought my Z I talked the guy down 2k in hindsight I should have talked him down another $700 but well. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/5274400361.htmlI bet that guy would come down $1200 just to see the car gone.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too far from where I live, but I think that ones pretty far gone too. The floor picture and passenger door tell the tale. It's hard to find a car around here without a lot of rust. I think Roanoke is about 4 hours from DC. FWIW.Steath, I'm pulling for you buddy, but be patient. The right car will come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth240Z Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share #92 Posted November 13, 2015 Got the windshield out and all the wires disconnected. The engine pull is soon to come, and the headliner still needs to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth240Z Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share #93 Posted December 19, 2015 Well guys, it has been a while since I have updated this thread. I have made a decision that probably won't shock most of you. I have decided to sell this Z as is or parted out. Honestly, I just do not have the time or money to pour into it. I have taken a ton of pictures and will post a sale thread sometime soon. I know I can make money on this if I find the right buyers, as I have some nice parts! Thank you guys for the support you have given me. I cannot wait till I am able to buy another Z that is road worthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted December 19, 2015 Share #94 Posted December 19, 2015 Good luck. If you find a car you're interested in feel free to post up pictures and get some feedback on condition and value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
