Depends. If you're looking to build a trailer queen drift car, sure, it's a good start. If you want a daily driver, nope.

I would say yes, that’s worth it …

But alot of what determines a z33 value will be location.

No car is going to be perfect and expect to put time/money/energy/blood/sweat/tears into the car (especially if you intend to drift it) because these cars will break

Everything breaks. Drifting just expedites it.

The car has been in an accident, strong enough to deploy the passenger side airbag and bust the passenger side seatbelt hangar/retractor. As a purist drift car this doesn't really matter, but if the plan is to make this vehicle dual purpose (street + drift), I would hard pass on it. I'm guessing it's a salvage title, perfect for pure track/drift use. To me, 8k seems a bit steep even with the supporting drift mods. The drift mods chosen appear to be budget build parts, I wonder if OEM cam, crank, and O2 sensors were even used. Also not a fan of welding open diffs, but that's just my humble opinion.

If your plan is to build upon the existing mods, then it might be worth it for you. But if you need to rip out and re-do a lot of these mods, then it's not worth it. You would be better off finding another clapped out Z with a salvage title to turn into a drift mobile.
Cheers!

Not much of a drift build without a cage
