So, yea I have wanted to find a 97-98 240sx for a long time because they're definately my dream car. Screw an expensive pos. I almost got one when I was like 18 but the guy fell threw on it. Then I moved from Georgia to bum-**** Illinois and I haven't seen any s14's in like 3 years. Then I heard from a friend that a friend of his's dad had a 97 240 sitting under a tarp and that it had been there for a while. So, of course I was excited and had to go see it. When we got there there was a cat crawling out from under the tarp... this wasn't a good thing haha. There was a ton of cat hair in it.

Here's the list of things i have to fix/replace:
-broken back window
-broke sunroof glass (has plexie glass taped on roof)
-driver door (got broke into)
-trunk (rusted underneith)
-side skirts
-back bumper (real scratched up)
-cd player
-climate control/cdplayer/shifter bezel
-pass side taillight
-windshield cowl (missing)
-new tires

The rest I'll leave to the body shop to fix up when i get it all together. It's green now... I'm thinking about just going all black.

Here's the pics...

im ready to re-do the crummy paint job on these oem wheels, prob get them cleaned up and get them powder coated black.

we started picking all the beat up glass out of the back window area to prepare for the new glass to put in.

and yea the sunroof glass was broken before when it was broken into. got one of those on the way i beleive though.

freaking cats were living in it.

interior is faily clean... just bezels were broken. got those on the way too.

and yes body work is needed... but at least theres no rust.

got some hb racings spring (i beleive thats what theyre called) from a friend. anyone else running these?

even nicer find

snatch

thats my buddy in the pic... not me. im more appealing the ladies lol. and yes def a nice find.

and i cant wait to see the outcome myself. ive been talking to other members on here for parts that i need. wish the guys i wrote about the sunroof would get back to me!

energy0uth

sounds good to me...friend is rocking an auto in his Kouki for now and he has still learned a ton from driving it hard and doing what he can

Make sure you take out those seats and clean real well because my old camaro had a cat in and out of it and that **** soaked in hard!!!

I can get you a sunroof today and also just do the wheels yourself with a sander, primer and wheel paint...pm'd

snatch

yea im waiting on my buddy to hurry up and bring over the shop van so i can get to these seats asap! and yea i was thinking about doing the wheels myself. im good at that and ive dont it before like 10 times but i was just thinking about gettin this done for the first time. not sure.

crazydrifter

those seats are DONE!!! dont even try to clean them find some new ones. i bet if you look at the bottom of those seats there prob yellow from cat **** seaping through.

I dont know anything about those springs but seriously, just get coilovers. If you just want something cheap then at least get god speeds. LOL those are cheaper than some lowering springs out there haha. If this is going to be a track car, if your building from the ground up dont go half ***, you will regret it later. In the end it's your car though so meh.

Really nice find imo. Wish I could have found a nice s14 but instead got a crapola s13. Lets see who does their 5 speed swap first .



P.S. I think I have a head start

snatch

i just got these super cheap for now. im just doing basic **** for now. not even driving it. if i dont like them, ill get rid of it. and im def gonna be gettin quality **** later. and yea youll prob do a 5speed swap first... but ill be doing a complete engine swap. oh snapz.

o.g.darkdrifter

haha yeah.. I'm just gonna be running ka because... I'm poor....... and...... I fail...... I'll have ballin *** suspension though..... but I'll still be slow as hell and not able to spin anything bigger than 16's on a 8.5j
