Don't do it, you will end up spending over 10-15K on repairs. And even when its all done, it will probably not ride the same. Just buy a used Z with no problems it will cost you just as much as this project with a lot less hassle.

At least it was not in an accident :
AccidentCheck
Reported accidents: 0.

I did not repair my 300ZX tt with far less damage, for fear of the unknown damage. OP You are brave to consider repairing this mess.

If I had the cash I would buy that car and turn it into a buggy.

All you need is a sawzall and some welding skill and you can turn it into some crazy buggy thing.

Or a track car, even. Just fab your own body.

A candidate for the movie series remake of Mad Max.

There are people who specialize in rebuilding salvage vehicles, and they usually buy them at an insurance auction. If someone who rebuilds these thought this was a good enough deal it would have already been sold.

What about buying it and then selling the parts by themselves like the engine, gearbox, differential, axles, wheels, windshield, doors, mirrors, battery, driveshaft, etc. Would the op be able to make a profit?
