| For those who know me they're saying "wtf? a Z32?" since I've always been the die hard Z31 fan. Well nothing has changed!
I'm still a Z31 whore and still own 3 of them. But I'm going to be parting out my old crashed n/a and eventually selling my n/a daily driver. The reason for all this is to condense my funds and resources into a couple toys rather than an overwhelming pile of project vehicles. My n/a daily driver has been giving me all sorts of issues for the last year and I'm so burned out from working on it instead of my fun Z that I got fed up and started looking for a new summer daily driver. My search started with looking for another Z31 then changed to looking for an E36 M3. Then on a whim I took a glance through the 3ZC classifieds... There I found a real gem! A red 1990 TT, 5-speed price lowered to $4000!!! I bookmarked it and after a day decided to send the guy an E-mail. Car was described as in overall good condition but has some electrical gremlins overheating issues, rough running, needed a new suspension, etc etc common wear stuff.
Unlike most people I'm a glutton for painful projects and wasn't afraid of the potential problems so I said I'd take it! 2 weeks later the deal was done and car was on a truck getting shipped across the country from Cali to Wisconsin! Car arrived Thursday night during a blizzard and got stuck in the snow a few dozen times.
Took 2 hours to get it about 300' from where it was dropped off to the gas station across the street. Pulling up the hill in the gas station parking lot the car was running rough and overheating a bit. Then "pop" white smoke from the heater hose.
At that point I gave up. Called a flatbed to pickup the car and haul it the 4 miles down the road to my garage. even if it had the electricity to keep running and wasn't overheating. The car was getting stuck in 2" of snow. Welp here she is!! the new project/summer daily driver!
 Now this is the part you're going to die laughing over...
The poor college kid I bought it from said the car just suddenly started to have all sorts of electrical issues, gauges acting weird, power draining, overheating... What is missing from this picture... lol
 There's a number of rough spots like the drivers seat is in poor shape but these are the worst spots I've found. T-bar needs to be replaced.
 Some clear coat is peeling here and on the A-pillar.
 And the spoiler is starting to rot.
 Climate control button is missing.
 Not really needing to be repaired but the Magnaflow mufflers have to go. (they do sound nice but are ugly)
 The car is stock as far as I can tell other than a head unit and sub system, short throw shifter, some Magnaflow mufflers an E-fan, silicone intake hoses and alum subframe bushings. Already on order! A Powertrix coilover kit, new engine harness, 120k kit and some misc gaskets and sensors.
I'm looking for some 4 bolt 3" DP's and test pipes if anyone has a set in stainless they're looking to sell for a good price. My goal isn't for big power or pimp factor. I wanted a fast, fun, comfy car to get me around.
A TT Z32 with leather, AC, and a nice stereo fits that perfectly.
