ive seen worse repaired on a sc'd j-body.
it IS doable.
but if you have you're heart set of parting out, go for it.
Familiar Taste of Poison.
Sorry to hear about the loss =\
If you decide to part it though, the trunk lid is already sold.
its a start. Post in the regional forums, youll get more.
that is very fixable. i ran my in the back of a bus and the passanger side was crushed about midway up an i fixed that if anything go to a yard cut out the upper radiator support and weld it back or just buy a new support from the dealer or where ever and drill out the spot welds and replace like they said above they seen worse fixed i have a hood, bumper and lights i would sell cheap if your not to far away
I have almost everything you would need to fix the front of that sitting here I could part with. No body panels tho
PM me if you want to fix the car. I'm in MI.
I also have a perfect red trunk lid, no spoiler holes. I could sell it for the right price. Not too sure tho.

From the small group of people who've seen the damage it seems repairable. Will it pass inspection though when I go to get it out of "Salvage" status to "Rebuilt Salvage"? If I can figure that out I'm going to get some parts put on that bad boy and have myself a rugged looking Z soon. I inherited a 97 Eclipse GST but I'd still rather have the Z back and just sell the GST to get some cash to use towards the cav.
Make sure you have all records of your purchases for parts. Atleast where Im at they require that for a Rebuilt title.
lmao that fix is a piece of cake man, my cav was totaled WAY worse then that. salvage titles aren't bad- just do ur research as to what ur state requirements are. if u need dimentions of the engine bay. LMK i have access to all that fun stuff
How much do you want for the s/c? would you include the pcm to? thanks.
^^Haha, Your screen name was the first to come to mind when I thought of what I'll change mine to when it gets back on the road.
Just looking at it I just want to smack it back into shape with a sledge hammer and call it a day. I'm guessing it's not going to be as simple as that.....or could it? Once I get some more time I'll be looking the car back over and calling the shots. Luckily I have the Eclipse to to drive and it's got major balls but I'm starting to miss the Z. I just don't want to start in until I know it's inspection worthy without paying a ton for the frame work.
If I decide to part out I would be willing to do a S/C, HPT, Computer package sale. I'm gonna have to wait and see what I end up doing tho.
Damn Sam that sucks to hear. Im sure you miss it but Im also sure that gst is fun as hell also! Oh and if you do part out I want the HPT for sure!
super ur in akron? I have a bunch of shops out there i know. DO u have a way to transport the car? prolly be easier for u just to take it some where have them pull the frame to spec and u finish the rest. PM me if u need places where to take the car
i have two new headlights, two front fenders, a hood for sale. brand new in primer, and still in packing/boxes.
just want what i paid for them since they are new and never used. also i have a used kinda scratched 01 Z24 front bumper that just needs to be sanded down and primered for paint. since yur in AK, if u want, for buying these parts, i can even help u put it all on...im from Parma. just need these parts gone, caz they are non-returnable parts, and my cav has been totalled, so i have no use for them.
