Well, almost done with the z. For those that missed it, my buddy got an offer from carmax 6k for the thing. I told him fuck that let me fix it up and sell it for (hopefully) up to double, split the lrifit for anything over 6k+ $ into fixing it up. It hadnt driven for a few years (kids, work etc got in the way)

He did
battery
tires
Window motor

I have done:
Brakes
Oil change
Replaced torn up convertible top
Replace Tonneau cover (old one was all chopped paint)
Replace Passenger door panel (old one had tons of little dings from who knows what)
Shift knob
Steering wheel cover
And just finished polishing it.

I think we are in around 2k or 2500 for parts so really we gotta beat like 8/9k to have any profit

It is a total joy to drive!

It looked alot rougher at first than in this pic. Hadnt been washed in forever

Ngl i thought about just buying it for 6k cause he did offer, but it also did need the 2500 haha.

Also, probably makes like 230whp? Its very fun but pretty slow... The mk5 with a stage 1 felt peppier
