I figured it would be complete, that is the good part. I could use extra parts for my other Z projects. Let me know how much you're asking, and then I will tell you, if I am still interested. That way you don't waste time and gas, getting a shipping quote to me. Sound cool man? Let me know.

Man o man, im ready to start surgery on the 2+2 and yank out the block, tranny and diff. i got most of the front end stripped. Hood, fenders, bumper most acc. etc.(im also stripping the 2+2 for sales later) Just need to grab the engine hoist and bring it over to the new location tomorrow and i'll haveit out and back in the NA hopefully by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe wired up and running by monday? Maybe i can get Darrelbuddy to come through and help in the wiring dept.*cough cough* Pics to follow . .

Wow I wish you were closer to me (I'm in NY). If you're going to cut up the donor I need a slice off the front passenger side...

Darrelbuddy? uhh... didn't he have wiring probelms for months on his turbo swap? hehe...

ya, I've had a turbo coup driveshaft for sale on Hybridz for a while now. Did you do any shopping around?

or better yet, I'll sell you a driveshaft for $500 and it includes a free turbo car! just come pick it up.

Well im off to finish what i can on the Z. After that. . . .its time to take the torch to the 2+2. Its deserves nothing less. Well maybe a couple sledge hammer blows, but mostly the tourch. I've stripped it of any decent parts but the rest has a date with the scrap heap.
Yea Darrell had one tiny little ground that was causing problems, but it was a mistake anyone could have made. He knows his ****. A lot more than i know when it comes to wiring up a turbo car anyways.

If lww doesnt hook it up with the d.s. i'll hit you up bleach. ORRRRRR ( !! idea !! ) i can trade you 2+2 parts. I got 2 beautiful front fenders, t-tops, doors, electronics . . .

Now that I have another 240Z, I need that drive shaft as a core... BUT... How about I give you my drive shaft NOW and when Bleach comes down for MSA, he can bring his drive shaft and you can trade the 2+2 t-tops for it, then give me his drive shaft to replace the one I gave you...

There! How's that? You get your car running right away and I'll have a drive shaft when I finish the T5 swap in my white 240z.
