my new 240

in about 13.5 hours, im going to be the very proud owner of a not so proudworthy 240sx. its kind of the definition of a project car, but it runs so meh.

plans to come are a 5 speed as soon as possible
coils
some sportmax's
CA swap
eventually a bodykit +paint.
its kinda cheap... 1000 dollars, and im getting 2g's from my parents, and i have some money, so i might some cheap stuff done real quick like.

"cheap stuff", you mean cheap price not crap stuff right?

but first things first, get the car running good with a good suspention. then worry about the rest.

first things first, 5 speed. im thinking about getting a junked 240, to rob stuff off of. i also need to take care of some cancer. (rust). this also means getting a new hatch, which i could get from a junk 240. then my next thing is going to be coils. then i think a ebizzle body kit, plus a homemade spray job.

i walked, not worth it. the body wasnt straight, and it wasnt worth the 1g. and it had no exhaust, and rusted through the strut towers.

Good, at least you're not as stubborn as some of these people I know.

by the way good call on not getting it. it didn't sound ike it was worth $500. just look around.

after i crashed my 240 i found anohter 240 that was in good shape on the outside but the interior was stained and engine leaked bad. but it ran and got it as a parts car for $300.

i took over $800 in parts off and then gave the shell to a local junk yard.
