what non "bolt on/off" panels etc.. are usefull/sort after on a zook?

the last zook i cut up, someone wanted the rear floor to extend theirs.
and someone else wanted the A pillars.

what else can be reused on another zook?

Wouldn't it be just about anything thats not rusted?
Straight sills, quarter panels.

Are you really asking " what non "bolt on/off" panels etc.. do people want? " ?

if its a soft top the sliders on the targa bar and the channel at the top is hard to come by at a wrecker...

What are you cutting off, is the rest of the body OK, if you only need the front section get another body with a stuffed rear and sell the good full body they are getting hard to find

It doesnt take much to cut a sierra in half. me and a mate cut one just before the b pillar with 1/2 a 4 inch grinder disc.

yeh i know, the other one we cut up on AUS day didnt take much.. but there was a fair bit of rust in every panel so not much was salvagable...
this one is in good cond so i dont want to cut it up if there are parts that can be used and are usefull to someone

nah its a hardtop. i know soft tops are easy to pull apart and most/all panels can be unbolted.
im looking at parts that cant be unbolted. parts that need to be welded back in etc...

because if not much is usefull it will probably be cut up by next weekend and in the bin.
id prefer to be able to help someone out rather than throw it away

I'd come grab the whole thing if I lived closer!!!! What do you want for it? Are you modding or just getting rid of it?

the soft top we cut in half is being used to make a camping trailer. would have used a Hard top but this was just the right price.

i was actually thinking that this arvo.
had an idea of putting a bed in it and storage drawers under it.
and where the engine was id put some water/fuel tanks or something..
but i have too many projects ATM so it would probably sit there for a while

Cut the floor, tunnel and internal sill sections out. I've had to replace the floor in a sierra from rust - I can't be the only one.


Normally you'll only need the floor up to the seat mounts.
