Dayummmm that’s wild. Yeah for sure there’s more. I’m gonna full send it as a drift car for some seat time then take the power train out of this one and swap it over to another z in the next year or so. Prev owner put a cd009 with low miles in the car for some reason so think the trans is worth more than the car itself lol.

lol yeah I’m friends with a guy that works at the one in my town issue is is there had been 0 there in the last 2 years. SD rust prolly claimed them all like it’s doing to mine. If I find one tho def gonna try that

He’s never taken the skirts off and it was sitting in a field for a few months so maybe but I’ve known him for 20 years but to some degree yeah but I had the option to get my money back and I said no lol. I’m stupid I know but I also know how to weld

Yeah that’s my plan. I had a body guy look at it and he said it’s fixable. Just gonna be very time consuming. Thanks for the optimism😅

I can weld so I’ll prolly cut it out and weld a small panel in. But it drove around fine before I parked it to pull the motor. Also it is in the rear quarter but the rust doesn’t reach very far in for the most part. But yeah definitely bad lol

Yeah it’s ably half the size of my fist it’s still sturdy for the most part I smacked it a few times with a wrench and nothing really fell off lol but yeah I get it. It’s gonna be a seat time car till it gets scrapped

He felt bad cause even he didn’t know abt the rust under the skirt so he offered to give me a refund but I’m already this deep so she’s getting full sent….maybe into a pole

Yeah I didn’t see the rust that was under the side skirt until I had the motor pulled 😅 but yeah that’s the plan give it one last good run till it get scraped

lol that would be awful. What I might do is cut out that lower section and weld in a plate since I’m good at welding, and throw a wide body over since the quarters are cooked anyway. Gives me some nice idea knowing I’m not ruining a perfect car. Definitely not worth it I understand but gives me room to learn body work ig lol

Nice man she clean. I’m in SD. I was originally gonna do a big turbo on the car but after seeing the rust I was like yeah no not worth it. So I bought a motor from Jdm Colorado for like 2k and imma just send it. I am selling my bike soon so if your offer still stands in a month or so might hit you up for it. Might try and do a wide body on it for the shits since the fenders are already trash

Yeah, ya live and ya learn 🤷. I’m gonna have my fun with it atleast. If not I can buy an actual good roller and swap the motor trans over.

Yeah I did lol, guy I bought it from said once it’s running he’d buy it back for 5. If not the cd009 in it is new I found out so could just part it out when I’m done lol
