no door = weight reduction
is this going to be an everyday driven car or a track car only?
anyways good luck

BTW the best thing about broken windows is you can buy light weight acrylic ones.

Wow! That sure looks like a great project. I'm also trying to look for something like that where I can build from point zero. How is the interior condition? And also, where did you find that car? I've been searching but they are a lot more expensive than what you got it for. Anyways, congrats on the great find!

wo0 The interior is in perfect condition, just the driver seat has a pretty bad tear and thats it. I found the car off of http://www.recycler.com/ , it was located like..15 minutes away from my house. Rude how much are u willing to sell the driver side door for? i dont care if its manual or auto door. Ima go for the Type X lights straight off. Hey guys, will all the manual parts from my clip work on the 240? so i dont ahve to go to the junkyard and buy all the manual parts and stuff since my clip all ready has em. Me and my friend are ganna start on the interior tomorrow

well me and my friend fixed the door, taillight and the hatch. All the parts together cost 300 bucks, which seems like a good deal. Here are pics..
dontcha love the different colors Also stripped most of the interior..

If you are gonna go as far as put an RB in it at least go RB25!!!
...or better yet save some cash and drop an SR20DET in it.
