Default Brand New (to me) 07 Z!!

Just found this forum and thought I'd introduce my semi beat up 350z that I purchased from IAAI. I ended picking up this car for $3100 at the insurance auto auctions from phoenix and thought it was a pretty good deal for the price. It's a 2007 Grand Touring 350z with 87k miles on it, looks like it was just in a small crash. Picked it up about a week ago and so far I've only replaced the radiator and removed the seatbelts and sent them in to get rebuilt/recharged, which is why the interior is a bit messy. I think it'll look nice and clean by the end of the month and with a small bit of money!! Time to post an airbag question thread

Fix it, flip it, buy another non-salvage Z.

I was thinking about flipping it but once it's all done shouldn't it only be worth around 6000?

I was planning on getting the headlight last because of how expensive it is, next on the list is getting a new core support

Yup starts and runs perfectly, all it needed was a new radiator as the old one was cracked and now it runs nice n pretty. Drove it for a couple hours back to my home with no problems at all

​​​​​​​That's awesome. You've got yourself a nice find there. I love tinkering with stuff like that.
