thanks for the feedback, so do yous think i should give this one a miss then, im in ireland and the car is in england so it would involve a 2 hour drive and a one hour flight to look at it, price is £4,900 pounds. if yous could give me some idea as to the extent of the work needed and expense of sorting all the rust issues, the last thing i want is to give the car a nice paint job then a year later bubbles start appearing everywhere...

The car is in no condition to paint as it sits. I'd suggest you'll be looking at USD$6,000 minimum, based on what the photos show, to get the car to paintable condition unless you do all the work yourself.

My 2 cents.

If I did the conversion correctly, thats about $7500!!!

I know Z cars are somewhat hard to find in Europe, but that is a LOT of money for that car! I usually don't advise but rather off an opinion. But in this case, I strongly advise against buying this car at that price!

I have to agree with " OldHemi" .
