Recently purchased a 1989 240sx Fastback, need some help! 29 photos

Purchased it for $500, body and frame has some pretty bad rust but it seems like it can be welded (I'll take pictures in a few days) but this is my build, I plan on swapping out the engine to an SR20DET, and doing the suspension but that's just dream talk.

Here are some pictures, there is a lot of photos haha.

Somewhat painted the rear light as a test, anyone have a tutorial on how to take the window out of the driver side door? We can't figure it out and spent an hr trying to do so the two upper bolts are stuck and wont let me pull it out.

idk what to tell you but it looks like you got ripped off. judging by all the rust just on the out side i'd be willing to bet the underneath is far worse. i'm not saying it can't be fixed i'm just saying it might be something you should reconsider.

That's what I was thinking but I can probably sell it to a local junkyard.

I would see if you can get another door, cut off all the exterior rust, weld back on what you can, and seal the underside. looks like a really bad head ache though
