Man if you finish this project 100% and this car turns out to be brand spanking new with no issues.....can i send my cars to you to get rebuilt? lol .....seriously, thats a really smart way to save money instead of financing a car with interest rates. Something to think about.

I just need to understand how you know what all is missing. I mean, there are alot of little things and even looking at a FASt would be a chore.

unless you are just guessing or hoping you find everything.

Wow, nice project. Wish I could find one in that condition to work on. I have had mine looking like that at one point or another. Should not be too hard to put her back together. Please post pics of your progress. GL! BTW if you need a stock intake box let me know, I have one laying around.

That seems like a really cool project and when it's done you'll feel so accomplished looking at the final product! Kudos to you for taking this on and had I any spare parts I'd gladly donate them, but right now I'm looking to pick up a (fully intact) Z myself. I'll be following this thread, GOOD LUCK!

ok guys here you go, ive been working all weekend on car

























car is basically a running driving car now, everything under the hood is working perfectly. i even charged the AC and its blowing cold! the only problem i am having so far is i cant get the parking lights to work...headlights, turn signals, reverse lights all work but the parking lights wont come on...the fuse is good but they wont come on...i will keep on going and will leave that for later.

i got most of the parts needed. just missing a front bumper cover and side skirts..if anyone can help with an 06 bumper cover let me know please...
