Default Fixing up a salvage [Posted on *********]

Hey all, I'm not sure if my350z and ********* are affiliated, but I posted up over there and thought I'd post here too for some more opinions/trained eyes:

I'm gearing up to repair a salvaged Z, and as it is my first time working on a Z I wanted to reach out to the community for a few tips. In return, as I make the repair I'll document it into a How-to that should be fairly insightful for many forum goers.

The Z i'm working on was in a front end collision, it's got a pinched hood, and missing a bunch of parts, but the frame is straight, axle's are good and (from what I'm told, can't test it, the engine runs great). My question is, aside from what I'm about to list, do you guy's see anything missing and can anyone offer some good places to visit to pick up some of the miscellaneous parts I'll be needing/fabbing.

Here's a quick list:
- Hood
- Light Assemblies
- Bumper
- (Bumper support and foam isn't pictures but I have it)
- Radiator + Radiator Support + Fan
- Airbox/Filter
- Airbags

In the pictures, the underskirt is held up by a bungee (not my idea), and it looks like the wheel well liner was placed in the front as well as the battery cover from the passenger side strut area. One of the pictures I moved it out of the way for a better shot. Let me know what you guy's think and any problems I'm going to run into as I fix it up.

Pictures:









Thanks everyone!

Looks like an easy fix.
Add condenser and pressure sensor,seat-belts, water bottle, horns, maybe temp sensor, clock-spring, airbag sensor and computer and power steering cooler...
If it is not a base you will need HID lights.
Hood is local because it is expensive to ship.
Pass bag cover is expensive too.

Thanks for the link, after re-examining my photos the headlight assembly on one side looks fairly bent, and I found this:

http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=4461

It's the whole front (Headlight brackets, Core support, mounting brackets, Upper rad support). $353, I was thinking about trying to find a junk yard with a rear collision z to be a donor

Thanks for the part numbers man

I'll let you know if I can't find OEM cheaper, but having the part numbers will be indispensable
