Message	i have the worst luck with my z... i was thiking about selling my z to buy a g35 and i had a small electrical fire. My hood, winshield and the area around the brake master cylinder were damaged. Knocked out with a minute or two. my insurance is going to total it. Since to them it is not worth fixing i am faced with two questions. the engine doesn't seem to be damaged except for some hoses on the driver side, brake master cylinder, brake booster and electrical harness and some other small things. It is an easy fix, but i don't have the time to do it with my new job. 1: part it out? -complete NA to TT swap ( 2+2 with custom riveshaft). -What about my very expensive wide body? body not damaged. 2: sell as is? - i can assist fixing. i hate to let it go:(. what woud be a reasonable price to ask for it. -One of a kind wide body with 10" rims in back with perfect fit. -full blown tt swap 5K since it was done fully documented (pictures and receipts) -the engine is a jdm engine with around 40-50k -The interior is black, but the dash and door pannels are carbon fiber. Real Carbon fiber! -340HP and 397lbft TQ at 4500 RPM -has been in magazines, nissan adds, featured on tv etc. see my mod list for the rest. i know that many people do not like my front bumper, but since the one i have is damaged if some one wants to buy the car as is i would install another one such as jdm.
