260DET Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) The cheek, taping over the rust. A bit of rewording for the ad. 'Owned by a panel beater who realised that it was too far gone to restore economically so I bought it looking for a quick buck flip.'

1600dave Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Don't get me wrong, for the right price (and if I had room for it), I'd give it a crack. But then I like tinkering away in the shed for many years without seeing any real results......

GregTas Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Gees you guys are picky. You don't have to repair a lot of that rust. A bonnet, hatch, two guards, doors a couple of sills and bumpers and you'd be ready to make a start on the body resto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bonnet, hatch, two guards, doors a couple of sills and bumpers and you'd be ready to make a start on the body resto. I somewhat agree and most of the above is joking in jest really, but we all know these things rust inside out and plenty of signs that what is on the surface is far worse below it. We also know it's history to some extent is that it sat under a tarp near the Ocean along the South Coast (near Canberra) for quite a while. Which I'm sure did it no favours. I'll merge this thread with the earlier one. I've set the software up to list each new eBay listing (since I don't always see them all myself) and automatically post them. Which means when sellers relist we get a new post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On initial glance it doesn't look too bad, but in a search for panels over a couple of years for my own car I realised. how hard and costly panels can be. So getting all those panels would be some effort and cost, which makes a car that looks cheap, not so when it all get added up..

CptZa Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Out of curiosity, if you had to make a wild estimate..how much do you think it will cost to get this on the road. 20k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted October 7, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 7, 2019 $20k will get half the body work done. No paint. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to a restorer I'm working with at the moment regarding this last week. He was suggesting at least over $100K if you're doing it properly.

Administrators gav240z Posted October 9, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2019 I agree to restore the car to "as new" condition and farm out the work. It will cost a mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptZa Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Yeah, i asked a couple guys locally and labor costs alone would understandably be exorbitant. Probably best i didn't bid even at a winning price of $6600. My thinking of bringing one in cheap (say 10-15k) to lessen import and customs costs and then spend 25-30k over time doesn't seem ideal. I'll take gav240's advice and save up a bit more..the dream continues! OdinZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted October 9, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2019 My general rule of thumb is that each panel on a Z costs about $1000 of labour to treat trust / weld in new metal and remove dents etc.. On a Z you have. Bonnet Hatch 2x Doors 2x fenders 1 roof skin 2x rear quarters So that's $9k there... Then you have the unibody: Radiator support $1500 Floor pans $1000 each side. Rails same time... Rusty wheel well $500? Sills $500-$1000 P/side. Accident damage costs more, more pervasive rust that requires extensive fabrication of non available sections, such as firewalls, windscreen pillars etc.. all add extra.. You can see how $20k evaporates fast. I try and do a lot of work on my own car, but rarely satisfied with the level / quality of it. Materials costs + tuition cost a small fortune on its own. Buy the most rust free example you can. CptZa and ScottyD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 If this goes on for much longer there will be just a pile of rust with bits of blue tape left. OdinZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
