Finally got her!

Finally..i got my precious! After..almost 2 months i got her haha. It will be a project car, ill tell u that. Its a 89 240sx HB, power doors, sunroof, power windows....And auto go0d thing im doing a auto => conversion when i do my swap, and rust free. Ok now with the problems, front windshield is cracked, need replacing, need driver side door and need new hatch, o0h and needs a new left tail light..but i might as well get type x lights, passenger side fender is a lil dented in. But i gatta say, it isnt that bad of a catch for 600 bucks, o0h and it runs, just doesnt have a battery currently. The only real bad thing is..i have no key for it! im ganna need to get a key set for it or sumthing Here are sum pics of my baby
-See the bad hatch and taillight


-Yummy..no door and bad seat

good stuff man, hope everything works out, looks like you got some work on your hands but i bet it wll be a lot of fun.
no door = weight reduction
is this going to be an everyday driven car or a track car only?
anyways good luck

Congrats.

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

Nooooooooo! Stop yourself!!
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.
