This appeared on my Facebook, it was taken at a North East meet somewhere. I don't recognise it.

Owned by Ben Carroll, lives up near Newcastle somewhere.

It's not Spin Doctor's old car is it?

"McDonalds car park chav meet". Looks like one of those terrible 'cruiser' type events.

 

It's not Spin's car - certainly didn't have that bumper or bonnet vent....

I don't know who spin doctor is, but this car is an NA that had been sat on a drive for years to go mouldy and rusty, which he bought for just a few hundred in March or April.

It's on ebay - 'orrible looking thing, although seems to have been done to a good standard. I kinda like the colour, but the bodykit is atrocious.

I remember seeing that on one of the north east meets ........

It's been on eBay for months, he's been trying to make 3k profit on it.

Also, speaking about things being done to a high standard, this picture was when he was getting the sills welded. Had holes through the sills and various other places, but reckons the entire job cost him about 200 quid:

He got the car for free...? :lol:

 

It is a vulgar looking thing but, as has been said since the dawn of time, it'd be a dull world if everyone liked the same thing.

 

I do like his ad though: "My personal eBay account has 100% positive feedback, so buy with confidence!" Then you see that the account he's selling the car through has a huuuuuuge black mark against it! :lol:

Near enough, yeah! Beforehand he was asking about 4k for it though, 3k is his reduced price, even though people who've seen it in person say it's rotten.

Is that a fork lift holding it up!? Jesus! lol

Yep, yes it is. That was my reaction when I saw that picture too!

Shocking! Rear wheels don't even look chocked!

So considering the last owner left it sat on the drive for years to get covered in mold and rust, and the current owner doing work like this, I'd say the car won't be up to a decent standard at all. Crazy money for any na, unless it was a 99 spec. Speaking of which, there happens to be one on eBay at the moment for 4k, could have prompted the price reduction. But considering he bought it for only a few hundred in April, even 3k is quite a price hike.

Photos clearly don't do the car injustice! haha. I've seen it before where Z32s look pretty straight on top, you look under them and the floor pan has holes in in and all the suspension looks scabby.

Pictures hide a lot, when looking for my car I saw a fair few zeds that looked great in pictures, but terrible when up close. Even the one I ended up buying, but at least I got it cheap enough to put it right within my budget. Was only fit for scrapping otherwise!

I'm fortunate to have a Z with absolutely no rust at all (and zero welding), so I have not experienced the underbelly of too many other than my own. I have seen some really rough examples though up on the ramps.

Well, if it ever happens, just be careful who you take it to, a lot of mine was made worse by previous work! That's all I'll say on that. :)
