zxalex Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 ....The start As some will have read when I first came on this site I had bought a 350z as a "project". It has had accident damage so there is a bit of work to be done... Doing it as a as and when I have time and energy to and as and when I can afford parts (just being honest lol). Anyway my 350z suffered damage to the front passenger inner and outer wing, bonnet, strut, door, bumper, headlight and back wishbone (all passenger side). Also when it was strapped on to the breakdown lorry they broke rear passenger light. Does not seem to have touched the chassis leg... me hopes! lol. I will find out after its all stripped properly. I have removed the bumper bonnet and some of the parts of the internals behind the wing. Forgot to add that it has or had 20" deep dish axis alloys in which the two passenger side ones got mashed Good points are it has a low mileage stainless steel big bore twin exhaust, it starts albeit at the starter motor with a screw driver lol. It is a fairlady (i'm sure I said to someone on here it was a uk model... so that's untrue) and its an auto... good or bad lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm tired thinking about fixing that. Out of interest whats the mileage and year and what did you pay for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxalex Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 mileage is around 60,000 and I paid £1600 so not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 mileage is around 60,000 and I paid £1600 so not too bad. At 1600 quid there is plenty scope for a cheap car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
