I shed a tear every time I see a Z in a junk yard... I just bought a 1 owner 76 280Z that's been sitting for quite a few years, I plan on doing a restoration and making videos. and nice video btw! I look forward to checking out more of your content!
NICE FIND!! I have done so much work to my old zx. Now I either need to replace the bottom runners, and some other chunks fo the body, all cosmetic... or find a new body.
just came across him recently on tiktok! I knew he was the 240sx that went viral for the T bone accident but didnt know he did junkyard stuff as well! def open to collabing with em!
@@korosumyself Was just about to comment about him as well, seems like a really down to earth cool dude. His approach of keeping/hoarding junkyard parts for his cars is pretty helpful especially for project cars and collectible cars like these, you never know when you'll need a part or if someone you know needs it
You should grab the turbo engine. I have 3 ZXs and I stripped a turbo car. Got the 5 speed, complete turbo engine and R200 rear. I'd go back and get the engine and rear end, they are hard to find.
Yard prices are constantly going up compared to aftermarket or eBay. Window motor PHX yard wanted 65 and eBay new 1 yr warranty was 45 so sometimes it's better to shop around
I know that car 😄. I made a video on it when it got put out in yard. That crx was also pretty complete when it was put out. Made a video on that one too. Yea that yard is hit or miss when it comes to prices. Depends on who you get at the counter. The reason that most engines/transmissios are gone is because the yard pulls them to sell separately. If they are still in the vehicle, the yard sells it as a core and says its no good. Ive bought some good engines like that from there
ECUs for those are absolute trash lol. Most everyone with the L28et is going over to standalone so you don’t have to deal with AFM and the wiring nightmare
What do you use to find the cars you are looking for? I am aware of Row52 but there are a lot of yards that are not part of that program and finding cars in random junkyards can be pretty time consuming.
some of our local yards have websites that do keep up with their inventory but for the ones that dont I pretty much just dedicate a day to walk the yard when I can.
Once its in the wrecking yard, you probably aren't going to be able to get title and get it back out again (YMMV - depends on the state and the yard). I look at it like this - some die, so others may live. I'd rather see one of these STRIPPED CLEAN than see it get crushed intact. At least the parts are getting love - and bringing someone else's baby back to life.
It is so annoying how you think you need to take OFF the clips on the trunk struts. They only need to be pulled a little to release the struts. If you loose them they wont hold the trunk on your car, you do realize this don't you?
Great find but their cars left behind in London by rich people and classic and modern cars I was extra hand the salary was great just move and drive cars too the docks in London I made for 5 days half my salary of the year I was lucky
Fun fact: The Devil Z is based on a real life 280zx turbo that was built to hell and back but they made it a 240z for the anime.
Yup! I fall in love with that car because of the one in Wangan Midnight anime show. I hope to buy one, one day.

Odd question but you ever heard of prizzamike? you two would be a fire duo

My first car was a gift from my uncle 79 280zx same color as that one.

Cool stuff! I would just get new hatch seals and struts though..new struts come with the ball attachments, BTW

Yooo thats so cool! I peeped the channel and you've got some really cool stuff! Maybe I'll see you around the area haha
If im remembering correctly those are ford ranger wheels on the 350z, its definitely interesting but cool.
So that was an 81 GL turbo....I have the same car with the stainless Targa band on the roof. Great find.
whoa targa band, ive yet to see that in person. must be rare ye?
@6:37 you struck the coin jackpot there!
man you found the devil z
i just started building the same car over on my channel! theyre such fun cars
That’s a 240Z, this is a 280ZX.
@@jayrogers8255actually the 240z from wangan midnight was based on a red 280zx which is the real devil z
The fact that it’s blue is crazy too
Lol dw40.. where can I buy that asking for a friend
Those CRX headlights are worth some money.
Last time I checked, you can still get new complete carpet kits for like $250.
Dang thats good to know. Don't see too much of these out there so it makes sense
@@korosumyself I don't know how you keep finding these in the yards. Down here and around Austin they never have Datsuns.
Hello, i just want to know where do you got the front from? I want that on my too 👍❤️
Nice, i feel like grillnetting between the frontbumper and the underlip would be a Nice little tuch😊 since it’s really open
yeahh!! def planning to do that. Originally I wanted to just have grill mesh in the front instead of the skillard bumper
Love the content keep this up!
Appreciate the support!
i just started building one of these over on my channel! such fun cars!

The piece that you are missing below your radio is a slide in ash tray.
ahhh that makes sense, thanks!
where in texas is this yard?
This one was in Fort Worth, long gone by now. most yards i hit are in Dallas though
if you find a z buy the whole thing
Yooooo I was going to pick that up when I seen it!
haha the temptation to save them all is real out here. Yours is coming along nicely brotha
How can anyone have the heart to cannibalize a car in that condition...

W video man

Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne via Facebook, je me suis abonné car j’apprécie la restauration de ta Z ❤

Safe it. It’s a Turbo!
Look's like a Nizzan 240z
any z31s in there?
asking the real question
Not in this yard but I've seen some in the Dallas area
if I couldn't buy the whole car, I'd strip that down to the frame
just take the whole car, it looked to be really straight and intact
I would take the whole car😅
