How long did it take to get the ZXR back home? You shipped out right after you left MSA i assume, so what, 2 weeks or so?

It left the 23rd of may and came in the 18the of june, not to bad, we did pack em right after the MSA.
(not bad considering it departed from long beach... through the panama canal... over an ocean .. quita trip!)
I will remove the foglights and replace the lower valance for an undented new one, then it will be painted, and will get new decals. ( auch $$$)
I will coat the tank and then ill have a perfect trailer queen.
I have my ZXT project car to go real fast and my 2+2 Supercharger project !

How much did you get the ZXR for if you don't mind me asking. I just picked mine up over the weekend for $500. It's not running though but body and interior is in pretty good shape. Thanks

Well it seem the magic number this is a Original 46K mile car, it will get repainted but it has a perfect interior and wing ( sat under a cover in a garage since 95!)

I paid 500 it was a steel .. there is NO rust on the car apart from some surface on the front valance ... that i will replace for a OEM new panel It makes for a great trailer princess

But post pics of yours!!!
or mail em so i can post them for you !!! frankpoll at Yahoo

very curious!!
I will have adecal kit made if anyone is intrested!

Hey Frank, I am interested in the decal kit. I'm looking into it here in California as well. Sounds like we picked up a bargain on these ZXRs. Mine is all original as well, and has been sitting in a garage since 2001. Keep us posted on your restoration progress. I just got the car yesterday, Ill take some pics to nite and post them on here.
