    The black plastic throttle knob? Is anyone currently offering reproduction choke and throttle knobs? I see that in past threads people have talked about making reproduction parts with few following through. I work in the manufacturing field and could actually have many of these parts reproduced, with no group buys or deposit needed. I just need to see that there is demand to have the molds created. The tail light bezels seem like something many people here would want.

    What are the hardest to find / most expensive S30 small replacement parts? Just from browsing the forum I see that the chrome tail light bezels are hard to come by. Anyone care to list some other small parts? Thanks
  3. Thanks everyone. I made a list with all of your points to check and concerns. With the overspray it does look like it must of been in an accident, otherwise why would someone paint a car with such low mileage.
  4. The engine bay is beautiful. Is all of the zinc plating correct to factory specs?
  5. Thanks Carl, I really appreciate the reply. This looks to be a great forum. I will keep you guys updated.
  6. Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I too am confused on why it would need upholstery. He sent me pictures of the original title, and says he has other service documents but the interior definitly does not look low mileage and is pretty dirty (given it is the beige interior option). Either the car was not taken car of early in life, the mileage is really 130k or maybe was not stored properly. Surprisingly the dash does look to be in good shape. Here are some pictures. Thanks again I am going to go over the entire car for rust. I really appreciate everyones advice on how to inspect the car!
  7. Hi Guys, New to the forums and looking to pick up my first S30 this weekend, but need help valuing it. - 73' all original blue metallic exterior, beige interior. Car has 31k original documented miles on it. Basically sat in storage untouched for 25 years or so, until purchased by current owner who planned to restore it. Only rust on the car is a small spot on the drivers side firewall, the rest of the car is rust free. - Not currently running. Current Owner (2nd owner) said he rebuilt the carbs but are not sync'd and although it starts up and idles fine its not driveable. All of my past project cars have been fuel injected so i am in the dark when it comes to carbeurators. - Car comes with a few NOS parts that were never installed including new upholstery, badges and exhaust and more. - The paint is in pretty good shape. Again the car sat in a storage locker for many year so It does need a bit of cleaning up. I also imagine it will need a bit of basic maintenance like replacement of fuel lines, tank flush etc... Im basically looking for a good car to use for a long term resto mod to enjoy on the weekends. Any idea on what it may be worth given this little bit of info? Thanks in advance!
