Default Just picked up a striped roadster

I dont know maybe its a bit to much but i think i can do it. Its got no body damage so all i need to do is send the parts out to get painted. Rest I can just bolt on at home.

you got a lot more problems than worrying about how the body looks. but whatever, the price it will cost you to get that thing going you can just buy one new.

+1, you won't be saving a lot of money by buying a car like this and fixing it. And until it's all done, I'm sure you'll have plenty of headaches

question, how did you check the integrity of the engine? i can tell you did not even start it. also i notice a rather large oil spot under those photos. that doesn't "just happen" and all the bolt-on stuff you can put on it will not make that better. yeah you will have a pretty looking ZR once you put those "bolt-ons" you say but the question will still remain; will it run? again, whatever. it's your money and i hope you got a lot of it becaue you will definitely need it

Who convinced you to buy that thing? I've got a few cars I need sold; you got his number because apparently he can sell anything.

well, that oil spot you see is not from this Z. Was there from something else. Actually car runs and drives as it is. Engine and trans in perfect condition. I started the engine and even drove the car before i paid for it.
