Bought a Good Condition S13 for $800 Buck

Well this sunday I bought a 1990 Nissan 240sx Hatchback, the car needs some TLC on the body, but from what I am told it runs well but just needs an alternator. The car has new perelli tires on it and stuff, so it will be my little junker car for now...but I pick the car up this wednesday

well i tried to hit you off with a clear view of what i was gona say but seems i'm a little slow today.
what i planned to show /tell you about was the cam timing. since you say it runs good you should still check to be sure all the timing marks are lined up. if not check a little more deeply. my car was dead when i got it. now my man's stanza with the ka-e is starting the "rattle" too. if i can help you dead all that then i have found my reason for living and can die an honorable death

well I picked the car up yesterday, after the horendous 9 hour round-trip drive, which was only suppose to be a 4 hour round trip drive (damn DC and MD traffic). The car is exactly how a 800 dollar car should be. It is a POS, but its my POS for now. It needs work and im willing to do it. After putting the new alternator on and battery, got the car started and enjoyed getting that thing sideways and exliration of driving my first nissan. Kinda felt like loosing your virginity. HAHA.
