What? I'm being supportive! I wish I had taken photos of my T/A when I started restoring it.. fortunately I'm starting over and doing a frame up so I can remember this time!

It also helps if you forget something.

that it does. It backs you up when you say you didn't half *** the work, even if the buyer doesn't know what they're looking at!

well that's actually a pretty good explanation snw. i could support selling it seeing as you are rebuilding it with used internals, and the cylinder walls are chipped.

the tops of the 3 and 4 PISTONS are chipped which is why they are getting replaced, the cylinder walls are great, going to hone them only, low mileage pistons which i shall clean so no one can dispute that or not, new rod bearings and new full ring set for the pistons milled head ARP studs and the MLS HG will bring the engine back to factory compression with better than factory strength. it will all get cleaned up nicely. whats wrong with you? think i'd half *** something? only quarter *** it since im not keeping it, and it will still be great for the next buyer, not like its going to quite on them. i almost started thinking about keeping the car myself after the rebuild, then i though, NAH labor is only so much value in my book.

no its only worth $200 at the most imo (remember this is coming from someone who payed $2100 for a 2+2 na zx) but i get a feeling hes gonna try to get me to pay $500, and hes gonna feel like he just got bitch slapped when i tell him im only paying $150...

then if he dosent sell it to me i call the police and tell them that he shouldnt have junked cars in his yard and they tow it off at his expense and i buy it from the J-yard or let them crush it... yeah ima ******* like that

it actually wasnt that shi**y it just needed a dizzy and ecu (i think) it could have been completely tore the F up when it came to trans and internals

I'm still really surprised with my 280Z so far, rust, but it all seems to be surface rust. Everything is really solid. It's just really dirty. I've wanted to work on it more to get it ready for my turbo swap then it got cold again.

Oh well going to Florida next Friday for a week that should be nice.

thats a COMPACT pistol haha. i just recently started pistol shooting every weekend. been good to me, costs money though, gonna buy my own to save on $$ if that makes sense. lol.

also, i got that same host in my garage (borrowed froma friend) and the DSM engine is on the new stand i bought, and yeah just waiting for engine parts then i tear it down, meant to take pics but camera had no charge in it.



oh, and thought im pretty sure i know the answer to this question anyone think you can re-use an MLS head gasket thats been torqued to spec but never ran the engine with it. lol.... such a waste....

i really want a glock 17c or 19c but due to money reasons i'll probably just get a ruger since they are the same shape size gun and both are fairly indestructible. haha. also i want to keep it 9mm i think, very popular and cheap bullet.
