well after a new engine, 2 gearboxes (one auto, now a manual) the car still needs the drivers side rear sill repairing, it needs a respray as the side skirts need to come off and the wings get changed it will need one, it needs a rear subframe bush replacing so may as well do all of them. the gear box has decided to stop going into gear, a front end clunk, lumpy steering and a few other niggly issues, im actually really getting fed up with the damn thing now.

 

Yes i know its a 20 year old car, but im constantly fighting it, its not like its regular maintenance im dealing with, its major issues that are getting sorted out, and then fecking up, and i hardly see a £550 engine and £500 auto to manual gearbox change as "skimping" on getting the damn thing sorted out, its getting annoying with the car constantly coming off the road to get fixed, in all the cars ive own, and all the zeds ive owned, this has to be the worst one for going wrong on a major scale.

 

I dont really have the room to break it, but will if i have too. id rather it went as a whole though. i know what its worth in parts, i know what it will take to get fixed, i just cant be bothered with doing it now. its just eating in to cash id rather be doing other stuff with, like sticking in a more reliable car as fuel for instance.

 

My heart is saying dont, but my head is saying get rid.

 

really dont know what to do any more, i love the look of it, i love how it drives now when it was working fine. im just not too keen on throwing any more cash at it now as its getting to the point im for ever fixing stupid issues that stop the whole thing from working.

So jim what kind of deal would you do me for the BMW touring

Haha, i dont have enough funds to offer you a deal at the minute mate.

I could help you break it tho if you want? You could take the touring and pay me as parts sell?

Unless it's the need to release the money, Keep your 300zx, your already in it for a few quid!!, you may find the answer to the car is just around the corner, better than someone else benefitting from your graft, besides it's what keeps us sane!!!
