So I went to the junkyard and theres a couple 240sx's. Definately needs work but Im looking for a project car anyway.

I might go monday to check them out again, I know I need to check for frame rust but is there anything else I should check?

thanks in advance

 

240s are kinda like lays kc bbq potato chips

 

bent/broken suspension, bent frame, rusty brown engine coolant, sludgy oil, urine odor interior (ive came across a few at junkyards before, not cool!)

 

Not worried about the motor, won't be in there for too long

And my buddy is gonna carfax it for me to see if the frame was twisted or anything major like that.

 

I think the most important thing is to check for Frame Rust, it is annoying trying to fix. I know 240's tend to rust alot near the frame rails and strut tower areas. Also, if the hatch has a wing, there might be alot of rust near the mounting points. (S13 models).

If you can get the car cheap and don't mind doing some resto work, I would say go for it. But just expect a few cute suprises

 

not to jack ur thread...but is this beast worth 200 bucks??? single 5 speed, needs a clutch, runs but she's rusty all over, i need a winter beater and it has good interior actually... i also have a clutch and a perfect hood laying around

 

If you got the parts lying around. go for it. It does look pretty damaged, but not too bad.
Paint is cool 2 tone scheme

 

goin to the junkyard today to get the VIN numbers.
