I have this mustache bar out of the Z I am currently working on. I believe this bar is correct for the R200 diff's. Can somebody confirm that for me? I am going to rebush it but don't want to do it if it's not the right bar...

I would tend to agree the car wouldn't really have any value unless it was a sub 100 car. One of the very early cars is being redone. It looked like swiss cheese when he started. Even a sub 100 car would be worth less than $2000 to me. You are really just buying the title and the vin plates at this point. You will end up replacing or patching 80% of this car...

Maybe it has something to do with mirror coverage for the guy behind you and the likely location of the car behind you ???

I think he was referring to the glass only. I agree, not much left. Maybe $200 of used parts...

Sarah, It is nice to here from you even for this reason... Do you have a starting point for what you think the car is worth or what you want out of it? NA Miata's are a lot of fun. We had one. With a little more horsepower they would be hard to beat for the money

I would agree that "bolt on" mods don't really count. The car in this add is toast! The firewall is rusted through. Hadn't seen that before!! If he can get $3000 or even half that I am sitting on a gold mine!

So somebody either has really little feet or that is a big wrench...

Come to Zconn in Austin this summer. Not that far away!

I tend to agree with this. I have a make shift booth but I still get some trash in my paint and have flaws. I will probably cut and buff when I'm done which will remove most of them. It is just really hard to get great professional results in a small shop with out a good booth and high end paint guns...

Does it go on the inside or outside? I thought it went on the outside... I had planned on building a brace on the inside or else it will droop at speed and drag the ground

The difference is the Porsche is probably worth 80k finished. The problem is really that equally rusted cars will require about the same amount of man hours to repair but one car is worth a lot more with the same amount of time invested albeit with more expensive parts...

Happy Birthday

No...

I sort of like the way they look all Chrome

That's excellent John. So glad you got it worked out. Let me know if you need any help on the brakes or random tools...

Or I will say "Nee!" "Nee,Nee,Nee..." OK, I will get your a shrubbery!..."

Good for you!

@nahurry Thanks for the reply. I was wondering what color your car was because I saw a Z the other day on the south end of Woodruff rd but it was orangish...

That is a flexplate, automatics don't have flywheels...

240z's are pretty simple...if the body is good, straight with no rust issues, it's worth $6,500. The timing components are cheap, fuel tank probably needs cleaning. If it almost started I wouldn't be terrified of it but I can also do my own work...

@nahurry what color is your car?

Looks like we have three members in the area: pogden, borini63 & pepper. One of them might help inspect the car. You might want to offer a courtesy fee for their time I would definitely get it inspected even if I had to hire an independent inspector. A Z guy would be better though because they know what to look for. The car doesn't look bad but nothing does from 30' away...

That didn't take long...

Nope, totally different animals...
