The yellow one is what we call a rust bucket.
wow... hardly good for parts, but with an auto and no engine, you will barely get one bucket worth of good parts. :) |

Does anyone know where i can find a 280z wireing harness (i basiclly need every wire because of damn dirty rats)
a quick look at my black dragon mag and a search of MSA gave no results... ***(EDIT) found them at ZCarsource, $250 a pop for the dash, engine and body harnesses http://www.zcarsource.com/Electrical...er-8-7658.html wow... |
how much money do you have to spend?
|
lol.... totally not worth it. i got a 280z in slightly better condition that those with no motor and trans a fine harness just same amount of rust and manual for free.... i stripped what was good and scrapped it. there's no point with those Z's unless you can do a damn good fab/weld job yourself
|
Where are you looking for these cars? New Orleans?

1k my ass, you have more than 1k of metal to replace there if you have someone do it for you, if not, then you have more than 1k of welding equipment and material/supplies to buy with it. those motors might be locked up they have been sitting so long, the suspension is probably shot, who knows the condition of the other driveline parts, buddy, thats at least a 3k project to get it in a decent condition. better off spending 2k on something that already runs and just needs labor put into it with minor amounts of supplies/materials/parts

valdosta to atlanta is 230 miles... i could go to orlando, jacksonville, even tampa from that same distance... i tried that once looking for a 240sx and it was the most pointless thing i have ever done...

but its still close, i mean, dont expect to find a rust free s30 sitting in your neighbors back yard.
either way i understand what your saying... |
it goes both ways (like snw) but you just arent putting enough effort into it, if you are serious about getting an s30, you need to farther away, but about 350 miles is about the farthest i would personally go, before i would consider using a shipping company.
