alright, i had a 1996 bmw 328is, until last week i hydroplaned, and totaled it in the rain. and my parents said that they are not going to get me anything nice cause obviously i dont know how to drive. which im a very good driver, but it was raining and i was going below the speed limit. Anyways my friend has a 1987 nissan 300zx with a blown engine, or something wrong(i think he said it was a headgasket). and it comes with a engine that he bought at a salvage yard, out of another car and he said the he saw that engine running, and the people at the salvage yards says it runs and will pass emissions. i just need to know if it is worth buying it for $500 dollars, cause im 16 and i really need a car……oh yeah my dad has his own body shop, and he has built cars from scratch before, so i def. will have help on it. and ive also seen rebuilt engines for this car on ebay for 500 dollars too.

As a child and now, I've always loved professional cars. I started out with a hearse as a first car but always wanted an ambulance or a combination vehical to go with it. I live in New York so not many vintage cars last long in the few salvage yards there are. Over the years I've found a bunch over the internet but they were bought, missing important parts or the salvage yard info wasn't listed, which brings me to my question. Where would I be able to find a classic ambulance or combination vehical in what state and salvage yard. I don't mind the traveling, and any help/information will be appreciated. Thanks.

I need to replace the wiring harnesses (engine and dash) in my 2001 eclipse. I bought wiring harnesses from the local salvage yard for a 2000, thinking they were interchangeable. There are two extra plugs on the 2001 that are not on the 2000, the car will now not run and nothing works. Do I need wiring harnesses from a 2001 and if I do, what are the specifics that I need to look for.

Ok so my car needs a new transmission, I ve got a quote from this local guy for $1,280 for a transmission from a salvage yard with 58,000 miles on it. My car currently had 95,000 miles. So the job with everything will be around 1350-1400 to fix it. Question is this a reasonable price to replace a transmission and is it even a good idea to fix it, maybe i should just get a new car. Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks.

I'm going backpacking in Denali this summer for 2 weeks. The cost of a rental car in AK is ridiculous due to state , municpal and airport fees. Since I am extremely cheap, I thought about buying a very cheap junker and driving it for 2 weeks then either giving it away or taking it to a salvage yard. I was looking on craigslist and a lot of the cars listed say that the tags or emissions are good until a certain date. So here is the question. Do the tags follow a car in Alaska like they do in some other states? In other words if I bought a car with valid plates could I get away with driving it for 2 weeks?
Oh , and please no moral lectures on what I plan to do. It would only be falling on deaf ears.

2000 Dodge Dakota, 2wd, 3.9 lt, 140,000 miles Basically is it a bolt up with minimal effort. (cross members, clutch, pressure plate, linkage, pedal, ****** tunnel, etc. Or just trash it. Auto ****** does not down shift to 1st, fluid is black and burnt, slipps when accelorating, waiting for the dodge angel to come and take it home……

I'm probably going to get all the parts from a junk or salvage yard, and take it to a body shop to match the paint.
i just want to know if the parts will fit? or if anyone has try it before
