Mid mounted twin turbo V6 RWD N15 = Fuji sized winnage...

Nah I'm keeping the mera stock for winter The VG is staying in the Z tho, too many issues involved with an engine swap.

good luck with the car fella, if it all fails you can always open up a rust factory.:roll:

Holy cow! Thats some serious rust! Personally i dont think its repairable.

Why would you ever use this a doner for an almera? The almera looks like dog shit in comparison

My uncle told me he seen worse and he did a lot of welding on cars. Said it's a 2 day job.

I'd never do that, the almera is a good car for a starter and as a cheap runaround so I'll keep it that way

Thanks corbs, I have plenty of hope

Btw the whole car is hopefully getting sandblasted and soaked in a zinc bath. I really want to do this the proper way and have this car for at least another 10 years or till they ban petrol cars lol

to do it properly will cost far, far more than a decent one would ever cost, you can weld it up but the whole car is neglected and a shed!

sorry to sound negative, but i just dont see the logic in fixing that.

Ok, to put it this way. I have plenty of spare time and welding and other stuff will be done almost for free. Reason I bought this car is that any LHD 300zx back here costs like 5k and up. Seeing this for a silly price of 700euro there was rally no reason not to buy this, sure it's a rust bucket and needs some major work done but when I'm done with it won't even reach the total price of the cheapest Z's available. And I'll have a pretty much rust free car with a fully rebuilt engine, a better base to start off with than any decent car imo. Cars in this state only need plenty of spare time to work on them, and a bit of cash, all depends on what you can do all by yourself.
