So I (moron) just took my wonderful little '81 zx and murdered it in cold blood on Thursday night/ Friday morning. Well its more like manslaughter, I sure didnt mean to do it but either way it found its way into a tree at 50mph or so. I had just put a full back custom bent single piece exhaust on it about 2 weeks ago that was just starting to sound great. I have done so much nitpick work to it lately. I was going to replace the clutch, sway bar links + bushings, and change the oil on Saturday. I was in the process of ordering a starter, panel bump stops all around, and new door gaskets (thank god I didn't pay yet). I had just washed and waxed it about 6 hours earlier. And then I pissed in its face .
Oh well, better start saving for another one, maybe I'll actually find a zxt this time (yeah right). So anyway I'll be parting it out to try to get money for another one, anyone need any parts? I live in CT. The body is pretty much all done with the exception of the rear and the driver's door. The interior is pretty shot (well mostly, there's still a few okay parts). Mechanically, the car was tip-top. Any part you may need I probably have unless it got smashed in the accident. The affected area = front right and passenger side.

 

dang man that sucks hopefully you can get it all parted out!

 

Be thankful your alive. One of the kids that used to hang around the shop got his car running a little too good, had to go to his funeral awhile back. He had the same problem, negative clearance with a tree.

Edit: It should probably be mentioned that some crazy old bastard backed out into the road and he had a choice, he took the tree. Not totally his fault.

 

wow! good charms man! hope you are okay mentally also. I personally know how it feels to have negative clearance with a wooden pole . Hope you doing okay...
Got any pictures of the wreck, would probably help you part out the good parts faster :-)

 

May it RIP, what color is the interior? Red?

 

sellin the exhaust? what is it? like glasspacks or a muffler.

 

Yeah, red interior... although some parts have nicely sun-faded to brown. The exhaust is a single piece straight from the collector back into a flowmaster 40 series. Yeah I have many pics but my connection has slowed down a lot and I need to figure out something before I can post much, I'll get some up in the next few days. Also I'm physically fine, not a scratch on me, back's a little sore but I guess it's nothing I'm not familiar with given my luck with moving things. Mentally a little down, I feel like I just lost a girlfriend. I guess I can be thankful though you guys are right it could have been a lot worse.

 

Hey, I'll be parting this out in the classifieds section tonight if you want to join me over there.

 

nvrmind bro. good luck!

 

Hey, finally got around to getting some of those pics up. I have since torn it down some and you can really notice the uni-body is twisted real bad. Oh well F*** it.


Datsuns don't like trees next to stone walls.










Twisted up.




Note the A-pillar all pulled back and the roof is bent.




Don't worry, the driver door doesn't open much easier.

 

That's the rim shining through the ripped open floor.

Let's all remember what the "good side" of the car looked like.

 

Are you sure you don't want to buy a Z with a bad engine and then use this wrecked car as your own personal parts car?

Thanks for the pictures. That is a hard hit. Glad you're ok

 

Ouch...yeah, that car is F'd! I'd go with Bleach's suggestion and use this one as a parts car for another one.

 

Holy crap... Glad your alright! Good thing you didnt have a passenger! Anyways I'd also go with Bleach's idea Save it for parts and get another Z for cheap.

 

That's what I planned on doing, it would be one hell of a parts car, but who's got one just lying around with a bad motor?? If you know someone in the northeast by all means please let me know...

 

Yikes! glad your ok...
