Price dropped again - any interest at $18k?

Too expensive? Any interest at $21k?

I'm looking to move my unfinished project on, with some sadness. I just don't have the time - I've done nothing on it for years due to family & business taking up all my time. It's been in primer since 2011, and nothing has bubbled up to the surface. That's (IMO) the best part of this car - the body is very solid. Check out the photos and history in the project threads below. Has an RB25DET with RB20DET gearbox, but wiring & fuel hasn't been set up, so not running. Engine was running when removed from donor. Heaps of parts, as seen in the photos. Urethane font spoiler, rubber seal kit, new indicators, vintage air A/C kit, new coil packs/timing belt/water pump for engine, additional trim bits and pieces, etc. See https://www.viczcar.com/forums/topic/6158-bennys-72-240z/ and https://www.viczcar.com/forums/topic/7820-ians-72-240z/ for additional history. See https://imgur.com/a/CHXPSDn for more photos. I've also got an engine crane, engine stand and hydraulic jack that the buyer can also have if they want. Looking for $18k Location: Adelaide

Wow it's been a long time with nothing done to this Life goes in other directions I guess - kids, running a small business, etc. I'm probably looking to sell this so someone can enjoy it - what's it likely to be worth? Relatively rust-free (see https://www.viczcar.com/forums/topic/6158-bennys-72-240z/ for a bit more history), mostly complete, still in primer and not running?

I know, not zed related, but if anyone in Adelaide drives (or knows someone who drives) a Holden Astra (98-2003, TE without ABS) I have a full set of brake rotors that I'm happy to give away to any member of this site. Here's a gumtree ad that has part numbers and photos (ignore the price - free for forum members!): https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/collinswood/brakes-suspension/full-set-of-brake-rotors-for-holden-ts-astra-rda7542-rda7544-/1162588426

As the subject suggests, I've got an Innova 5586 timing light for sale. It's basically as-new with very little use. These are worth about $120 new, so I'm looking for $80 ONO. Pickup from Adelaide, or plus postage (it should fit in a 3kg express post satchel, so about $16).

That's my old car... (still in my avatar)

Yeah, XF tail lights I'd say. I don't recall seeing an uglier rear conversion... the horror

I'm pretty sure "Fairlady" was the badge used for the Japanese market cars, so unless yours is a JDM import, it would've had 260z badges - doesn't mean you can't put fairlady badges on though...

I think I paid $250, but I was quite happy with that as my tank was pretty bad.

I got mine dipped, painted and internally coated at Red Devil Radiators in Nerang. I thought about doing it myself, but mine was quite bad, and I didn't really want to play around with the chemicals that would've been required (hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid) in the quantities that would've been needed.

I went around QLD Raceway with Craig Lowndes in the 888 car a while back (a year or two before they went to holden), and you're right, it sure is something. The braking was just as impressive as the acceleration I reckon.

I don't suppose whoever's taking them doesn't want the front bumper mounting brackets?
