hey guys, just joined this site a couple of days ago browsing the forums, well just some back info on this project, just got married over a month ago and my wife has a 94 240, it hasnt ran in over 5 years and its been sitting in her mom's driveway since, bad thing is her ex way back b4 i ever came along done alot dumb ricer crap to the car and messed it up, and i honestly think the worst thing in the world is a dumbass ricer with tools and some mechanical know how, they can really mess shit up on a car, but now she is giving the car to me since i was gonna buy something for a project anyways, reason i havent messed with it cause she wanted to keep it auto and main reason i want a new car is cause i want another manual transmission......but b4 i get flammed after this, the car needs new engine, there is alot of mystery with it, i dont know exactly what is wrong with it, i believe it was over heated, but im gonna get another engine anyways and build one for boost at my lesiure, my goal is to get it running cause im selling my car to fund this project and im gonna need it for transportation after that, so im gonna be doing alot of stuff people on this forum wont like lol, like its staying 4lug for awhile cause i need to put my funds eslwhere to start, anyways pics coming hope you guys enjoy :)

here is the outside knock off kit that jackass riveted on, rusted rims,a nd i peeled that apc sticker off 5 secs after thishttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q113/klaxtin/S6300588.jpghttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q113/klaxtin/S6300587.jpghttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q113/klaxtin/S6300586.jpg

well you def have your hands full. this reminds me of my first S13. lolz it had this ricey bomex body kit on it. well since you have to replace the front might as well start looking into a body kit or a type X front bumper. good luck, i love verts hope to see this one turn out well.

it doesn't look all that bad. Pull out the rivets and throw the Andys Auto Sport body kit in the trash. Look like its in a lot better shape then the past 240's i've had.

yeah its not to terrible for the most parts it has no dents in it and it was free hehe, im selling my 99 prelude, never really liked the car since i got it after the evo I had got totaled in a wreck, I kinda went through a dont want to fix up car phase so i kinda just took the first decent deal i got since i needed transportation, anyways here is some pics of the bay and the inside, and atm im gonna go witht he jdm fronts since the lights dont pop up any more but i dunno, depends on what else i run into......http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q113/klaxtin/S6300589.jpghttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q113/klaxtin/S6300591.jpghttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q113/klaxtin/S6300592.jpg

People, please...
Build first, THEN post.

The half-assed 'this is what I'm planning on doing, but so far I've only removed someone's previous fuckups' kinda threads are way old.
