Hahahahah I hear yah on that but she's extremely supportive with all my cars. Hell I was surprised when she told I could get that corolla. She hates the 280Z cause of that buddy club seat and never drives it all at so it's no big loss to her. lol. But as long as I'm happy she's happy. But I just called the guy up and talked to him for awhile and told him I'd keep the seat since he's 6' and no chance in hell he'd fit into it and he said it was fine and he was just looking for just the body and he said he really liked the wheels but it wouldn't be a problem if I kept them. So I told him 1700 and he could have it cause the body isn't too bad but needs alot of work. Needs a new drivers floor board, turn signals don't work and some other stuff. Something just started with the brakes and I think the booster went out.
UPDATE!
He just called back and said that 1700 would be cool without the seat and wheels. Wednesday when he goes back to work he can get the money and it'll be gone and I can get my TIG I was suppose buy but instead spent all the money on the corolla :P. Then just the Volvo running since thats my winter driver and summer is only so long in WI. I told him everything about it and he said it's fine. He's just looking for a Z as a project car. Saaaweeet. Now I should be able to do the hotrex "check out my welds..." post with my new TIG once I get it. Oh and some more goodies for the corolla. Like 2" bolt on wheel spacers so I can mount my flares and some side skirts and a header and finish my exhaust. Wife ask me for 300 so I may list the Buddy Club seat up for sale again but I like that thing so much but now I have my Bride seat in the corolla and ummm it wouldn't really look that great in the Volvo. lol.

The pictures are decieving. Alot of holes from molding that I took off that haven't been filled and it's sat out in the rain at my house so there's water in the panels that I'm sure of that's just chilling there and needs new floor boards, I can't jack the car up in barely anyplaces otherwise it just crumbles. Needs all new weather stripping and leaks pretty good in the back when it rains and collects in the spare tire spot. Not to mention the car isn't running right and he knew that since he said he'd buy it running or not. Only one seat and thats the passenger side that is kinda melted since it caught on fire from the guy who welded in my cage cause I didn't and don't trust my HF fluxcore for that. It's like the Mona Lisa... Looks good from a distant but once you get up close it's not all that great. The passenger side front fender is like almost all bonda and I found alot more bondo when I was installing my flares a month or two ago. The seat and the wheels and tires are the only things I care about on that car and hell what I paid for those alone is what I bought the car for. :P
