My "new" 350z
Check out the end of page 6 and beginning of 7 for updated pictures!
I got a new project in the garage. Picked this up from the salvage auction last friday, lots of work to be done. But, I know it will be worth it in the end! I can hardly wait. My previous car is an eclipse gs (4 banger), so this is a drastic step up. This forum looks pretty sweet and with useful info, so ill be around for awhile. Its an 06 base model MT.
The hood is popped open, it fits
P.S. ill keep looking in the marketplace section, but if anyone has a full exhaust system, even stock, or a shift ****, let me know!

King - We paid $6,600 for it. It has 32k miles on it with new springs (who knows which ones) and "silverline" exhaust. half of the exhaust is missing from behind the y pipe and back.

the frame is absolutely bent, yes, but we knew that going into this. the frame work is the only task we cant do in our garage, so we take it to a frame shop.

That frame looks pretty jacked up. Hopefully the shop can get it straight, but even if they do the car typically never drives the same again. I'm not one who would buy anything a salvage title unless I intended to make the car a trailer queen. Good luck with the project.
