Mad-***'s Progress thread [Lots of pictures], 1995 Nissan 240sx Base Auto
Hello All. Just making a thread to keep everyone updated with my car.
Yes, I am new to this forum, and I hope to get some kind of new feed back from different sites.
Ok, I will be posting brief history behind the car..cuz i do have a build thread going on since I had my car last year may...but here it goes!
June 2007
I just picked up my car little over a month ago, May 5th, 2007.
It's a 1995 Nissan 240 sx Base Model automatic.
TechkaV is the name I gave my car.
[Why the hell did I name the car? I have no idea...]
Pics from Day 1. I don't have better pictures of my car when it first got it..but it was a mess on the out side...
It had brown primmer on the top, black/gray primers all around the car. countless door dings, old purple tints...
I got rid of the old purple tint with in two day's of owning the car, and I still haven't got around of having the rear tint off till this day.. yes..i am getting lazy.
Later in June 2007
I get done with my Tech school in Altus AFB, Oklahoma, so I visit home before I drive to my first PCS location, Travis AFB. I pay a visit to my uncle whom owns a auto body shop [and i have worked for him at his shop for about 5 month or longer..under the table ****..], and with in first 5 mins i see him..he yaks about how ugly the car's paint/body is. I don't disagree as..it's just nasty. and couple more mins go by, and he just tells me to come back tomorrow at 8am sharp to paint prep my car. So for next few days, I wet sand my car down..
It took me about two days to do the whole car..wet sanding by hand. took a while because of ****ty old primer and...well...it was just in horrid condition.
And this is when I fell into "what color should I pick" as I was wet sanding the car..
My Uncle insists to paint my car to OEM color again [LN1], but I want to go LS1,
Hmm..complications...but free paint job is free paint job...So... I got LN1 again
