after listening to the banter in this thread, one would hope the motor isn't shot (so to speak).

heh.
providing the motors not f*cked?
still by the looks of it, bolt-ons should be in good enough condition, gearbox maybe (Jatco; which even when rebuilt are still weak as f*ck ), interior looks sweet....but after a turbo has pretty much set on fire (or around that area due to oil leaking etc) what condition would it be in likewise the bits around it?
would indeed be a bargain if picked up for $5000

07-10-10, 12:18 GMT+10#11 highly doubt they will let craig have the rims but if a ct member buys it they might be nice enough to return them
if someone buys it for stripping, i'm chasing rear lights/garnish/boot

07-10-10, 13:53 GMT+10#13 Yeah craig should get onto the insurance company about the wheels hey, whever buysit is gunna pay extra due to having nice wheels so dare say they wont be given away after they just payed for them at auction.... if he talks to the auctioneers they should be able to be removed if a police report is filed

lol......settle down
Your current engine combo makes just as much power
The body appears to be relatively straight, I doubt it would have rust but as FMX Mike outlined.......in theory....it really isn't going to be that flash hot. Chances are it may sell for about $10k? I'm assuming it'll sell for more than that "Factory 5 sp manual Black Calais Turbo" anyways. If that's the case, I don't think it's that much of a bargain, I wouldn't risk my savings on it lol.
Only reason I want it is so I can get the diff, make it 31 spline, get the gate and interior and then I'd sell whatever is left - I wouldn't want to risk using the motor or gearbox..you might be able to sell them but I wouldn't be too confident in saying "Oh yeah, she's all good to go and in mint condition!" - who knows how hard this thing has been driven since changing owners, and in the limited time it's had on the road with those owners I'm assuming it's been driven very hard.....
Yes it could be all well and good - but also the main heart of the car couldn't be - meaning it could just equate to an expensive rebuild, I don't really like knowing that. It's like buying a 2nd hand RB26 from an R32 GTR....you buy it knowing all well that you may need some more cash to rebuild it
Also being unrego'd (obviously) = meh.
Either way it's interesting to see stuff like this pop up
