Ohkay, I've found a white 1990 IROC 'vert. Guy wants $2700Cdn plus HST (15%) for it, not one penny less.

Drivetrain and runnig gear are all fine, it's a LB9/T5 car, I think SD/TPI? (Correct me if I'm wrong)...

Here's "The Thing"...It's had an interior fire. We're talking ALL the interior. The fire is all in the passenger compartment, not in front of the firewall, although some of the wires are melted, I'd asssume it'd need a new harness anyway, seeing as the fuse panel is gone. I can get a whole parts car with a great interior in grey for $1200CDN, or part out the Z with a black interior. (maybe even for the harness, suspension mods, etc, etc. and bring in some cash off what I don't need)

What am I getting myself into? I'd assume one could get the burned sections soda-blasted or sand-blasted. Then comes the swapping of interiors, pretty straight forward. As for a top, etc., I'd have to insure my other car anyway while it's being fixed, so I'd just drive it while it's nice, until I could scrounge up some 'vert specific interior parts, and a black ragtop. Opinions?

 

Why bother with all that hassle? There's more than one cat to skin.

 

I agree, spend the extra $ and find one that's in better condition. You know there's always more problems then you expect from the start. You're just gonna give yourself grief. If he'd go down to $1000, then maybe...
