Anyone want to buy a $25k ZHP?

Can you scan and post the quote from the shop? $12k better include a glass-out respray, new suspension and a set of new ARC-8s with tires...

The car is a mess. Rust everywhere. Leaking like a pig. Seized calipers warped rotors leaking ac bad bushings rattly Vanos bad guibo new csb OFHG ccv the list goes on. I'll post the full estimate when I get it.

Gonna try to sell it for as much as I can and be done with it.

Ready for a Toyota.

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

Damn man, that really sucks.

I guess the mileage really has taken it's toll on this example combined with poor preventive maintenance.

Everything you said is fixable and some of the things are inexpensive to fix (like ofhg, gasket is like $3 and it's a super easy DIY), just how big is the rust? Rust bubbles on the outside as well?

Sorry to hear the repair costs are getting out of control.

Curious to see what the shop quoted for that amount.

And any description/ images of the rust?

Rust

Is there body rust or just on suspension parts that can be replaced?

wes, that's not that bad. i would leave the undercarriage alone as far as rust is concerned... replace bushings, etc that are worn, stop it from leaking, and enjoy it.

definitely post up a list from the mechanic. with prices. please.
