Looking at buying a Z31 that had a fire...........

Under the hood , typical leaking injector scenario. I'm just wondering if it may have gotten hot enough to warp the heads? $300 , not a bad deal , I guess......

The motor itself is probably fine..... Be wary of using ANY wiring or Sensors... The heat does weird things to plastic and ceramics... But the block/ heads/ tranny should be okay... Before I insert foot in mouth-------- How bad was this fire?????

Heck if the body is in better shape than mine , I'm going to transfer all my mods over , use what I need to get it running again and part the old one out. My old Z31 isn't in the best shape , if this car is any better , well...........

Well I went and looked at it. The fire seemed to be pretty much confined to the under hood area. The timing belt is still attached and in decent shape. There's a few missing pieces , looks like he was originally parting it out and changed his mind. The engine and turbo is all there , as well as the radiator and all the drivetrain stuff. I don't care for the body , I think mine is probably actually in better shape. The interior is bad , the carpet is shot but maybe the seats could be saved , and they are un-powered , kinda unusual for a turbo. The dash cover is shot and it has the digital setup , I was kinda hoping for analog........
I think it's ok for a parts car. If you wanna throw down on it with me , let me know. I don't really have room to keep it here , though.
