I dont need a fire breathing monster the car weighs next to nothing, 300whp is plenty for me on this project. I wouldnt swap a KA, it’ll either be an SR or a VQ, nothing else. (No, no RB2x, no LSx, No 2jz, etc) Some new pics from today, unloaded it from the trailer, started looking at things to see what’s there, what’s rusty, and what not. ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2826.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2826.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2833.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2833.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2838.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2838.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2841.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2841.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2844.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2844.jpg) So I climbed under the car while pulling it off the trailer and to my pleasant surprise the frame rails are in good shape, not rusted at all just a couple dents from improper jackstand placement. The floors seem to be almost entirely intact from below might just be a bit “soft” gonna see when I pull the carpet out. Strut towers (front and rear are perfect, rockers are perfect from the side and below. Overall an incredible buy, I’m EXTREMELY happy. Can’t wait to start working on it, will probably pull the spare parts out of the interior and start pulling seats/carpet today or tomorrow. ---
