Message Well here's the story of my Z. I have nothing better to do and I figured some of you might be interested in seeing it. Feeling the urge to go to the dark side, and financially limited, I sold my NA in December to pay for this '91 TT. The TT was wrecked (obviously from the pics and title), and it cost me $4900. With shipping it costed close to $6000. I got an estimate for $2250 to repair all the damage and to paint the front half into the doors. The car supposedly came with all the necessary parts to fix it, but it didn't. It wasn't the fault of the guy who sold it me, there was just so much smashed that couldn't be seen. I ended up shelling out about $1500 for various parts. $500 for the bumper from Nissan (came with a really cheap aftermarket one that was warped), radiator core support, and so many other things I can't even remember. It took me a while to get all the parts and the body shop was insanely slow on starting on it. In the rebuilt pictures some things aren't done yet, like putting corners back in, and painting. The reason it's in this state is that it isn't running. Battery is charged, stick the key in and turn it, and nothing. So we have to solve this problem first before we go any further. We're pretty sure it's an electrical problem (maybe starter relay). The master mechanic from nissan (dad's friend) is coming to fix it up for me. The car is in perfect condition, back half-wise and interior wise, the car was really well taken care of. The car has 96,500 miles on it, and I'm hoping the engine and turbos are ok once the car starts running! Here's the pics now.








Let me know what you all think I guess... Laterz
