Hi troops,

Seen this going through the Auto Salvage and couldnt resist !
£720 I got it for, £230 for the parts, wing, headlights, headlight retainer panel, indicator and a new set of leads, filters, plugs etc. Up for its mot in the next week, so at a total cost of a grand or so its done !!:D
Made £30 of my mate who bet me the bonnet wouldnt repair !:rolleyes:


Nowt special, but at least its bought and paid for !!

Alan....

Was just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time Boyd !
Came back from Egypt on the Thursday, skint as usual, seen it on the salvage website, went up on Saturday, just for a look, and fell in love !:o
My mate bought it for me, and I put my Nissan 300zx twin turbo up for sale on the ZX forum on the Sunday night and it was away on the Wednesday !
Loved the 300zx, but a Yank will always take 1st place.

Here she is, or was rather !

Andy,
Nissan 300zx`s are more common than you think, mainly 2 types 3.0ltr v6 n/a,
and 3.0ltr v6 t/t`s, the daddies !:D Nice and cheap to buy, but they are a pig to work on !:mad: Skint knuckles aplenty !!
The hinges came from the States, GT Factory hinges, great quality and they do them for just about any vehicle ! Here; http://www.gtfactory.jp/180.htm

Yup, the Camaro will be used all year round. Our house is mid-terraced, so no garage facilities for me. She shares the drive with my daughters Ford Puma. Used it every day for work last week and its working out about ten or fifteen quid dearer than my Vectra. Which aint too bad :)
