No matter what - you should get that red one 
It would help you ALOT! And belive me you will shell out all the parts that will be left over.

He and I were talking about that the other day. I personally think he's going to be in the positive side of things if he gets the remnants for $3-5K. Talk about good luck and timing.

I'm not getting that Z 
Insurance thinks someone may have tampered with it, so they're investigating then it's going to a salvage yard about an hour away. So the affordibility just went bye bye... back to this being a multi-month project

I stand majorly corrected... I got the red Z 
It got dropped off today... I am starting to feel like Romas... Cars are just piling up!!! Haha well it still won't be on the road for a while because i'm going to do 99% of everything myself and taking my time... But seriously, minus two door panels and a headrest, I'm good to go Also I will be able to recoup a lot of fees from the engine, tranny, headlights, front bumper, a fender, hood, maybe some interior pieces like the seats if I can get the smoke smell out of them.... All in all this is shaping up very nicely... Stay tuned!!! Jeremy1210 and Fastbird might make appearances in this thread while helping me piece it all together... I can't wait

Good luck with the project, looks like its going to take some time, but its going to be worth the wait! My friend has a 350 and they are great cars with an amazing exhaust note!
I really like the look of the old 70's Z cars, and am getting tempted to buy one as a project, but as with most classics, most of them are pretty much corroded away by now!

ahh ****... are u serious? I woulda killed for ur headlights! I want a set of 06+ lights so bad. I'm on my350z.com and i'll have to check out the other website. I did get another Z if u look at the pics that has a good front so basically I'm to the point where I'll most likely need to simply get some time to swap a lot of stuff over, sell the longblock, a fender, hood, front bumper, side skirts, air bags, auto tranny and then most likely buy new door panels (messed up from the flames) and new door panel/kickplate things and I'm good to go. I just really need that free time to do all that stuff! If you do manage to come across a decently prices set of 06+ HID lights, let me know though!

update time:
Well between being sick and working 70 hour weeks... I haven't had much time at all to work. But tonight I finally got a few hours to work. And got the fenders, side skirts, splash guards, front bumper, headlights, and windshield wiper components all removed.
The wiring issues are still a big deal. Seeing as though the silver Z has the upgraded VDC system which is a lot more complicated than the standard TCS on the Red Z, it's made me look into a new wiring harness. That and the large harness that was cut still hasn't been replaced because it's not 100% that it's a direct replacement.
I will be transferring brackets and so forth tomorrow and then on wednesday test fit the body kit before I take everything to the shop.
Wish me luck? lol

good luck man, special with the wireing cool that you got the red one probably saved a huge ammount of time and money finding all the little parts and brakets. pics are always nice. friend of mine has a 03 G35, thoes two cars (350,g35) are sweet if only i had that kinda money.
