my starting point

I have finally taken some pics of my 90 240...here they are...as you will notice I have a ways to go...but at least it runs a drives





















well, there she is, with many of her current faults in full view...I have big plans that will take time and money to complete so I do not expect to be done quickly with this project of the changes planned are the S15 front end conversion, SR20DET swap, five lug and 300Z brake conversion as well as some suspension upgrades and interior work that needs to be addressed

and here are a couple of pics of other cars we have


my wife's VW Passat 1.8t

Looks kind of rough, but it's just minor damage. Looks good. I'm sure in time it'll look better too :d. How much did you pay for it?

as far as I know it is at stock height..but there is a bit of susp work that needs to be done just to get it to handle as well as stock...it's pretty worn..but not beyond salvation...

I like the way the lip looks as well, although I am planning an S15 front end conversion
