First pics and post

Hello everyone. I'm new here..obviously. I needed to find a good 240 site for help and suggestions for my future 240 mods, and I found this place. Here are some pics of my new car. A few dings and scratches but totally worth it. The miles alone make it worth what I paid.

I just recently installed an Alpine CDE-9843 deck and 4 Alpine SPS-460As. But didn't have a digital camera so no pics of those yet. I'm working on the interior for now. After I get it how I like i'm going to work on the exterior.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I was stoked when i first found it. I had to fly over 1300 miles to pick it up then drove it back, so i broke 90K miles on the way home.

I have to wash it, it rained a little while ago so theres some water spots and dust from high winds. But once i get it cleaned up i'll post some more pics for sure.

I'm kinda stuck right now as to what kind of Sub and Amp i should get. I was thinking of a Power Acoustick IDQ12, but don't really know what type of amp to get. Any suggestions? I'm open to any, but price is a factor, I don't really want to spend too much on them. I'll probably go $200 at most for each one.

Oh and i don't really need glass shattering, ear drum rupturing bass either.

I didn't get it to look new at all. The guy i bought it from was the original owner, he was an older guy so no dragging, drifting or any other engine intensive activities.

All the miles were from when he just drove it to work and back. He had a bigger car for road trips so he used that when he wanted to go somewhere farther than work. I lucked out big time when i found it. Been searching for a 240 for over 4 years...and finally found one, and it's the shiznyte!
