Ohio 240 long time member new poster

[cleveland180]

Well, I tried making a new thread about a week ago and it never showed up... I dunno why but.
My name is Dave, I have had a 240 for about five years and spent most of my time on club240. I have recently been working on a 240 I picked up in california and just finished painting it... wanna see some pics??

This is what I started with

After some work and a brief KA-t moment

Then she sat in a backyard for over a year.. and now my recent goings on...

I decided I would go for a more clean look by filling in all the body lines on my car.

And this is how she turned out after at least 4 weekends of sanding until I couldn't move my arms...

The color is toyota super white with a super fine silver ghost pearl.

anyone know where I can find the +10 offset Rota grids for a decent price?

[Altered_Image]

That is a great looking car Dave! As for the Rotas, you can get them for a decent price from Elite Wheels in Cincy. As for up here in NEO, not too sure who would have them for a decent price, though there are a lot of places here that can get them...

[haggard240]

wow soo clean! i like it

[ryguy]

Looks cute. What was your username on club240?

[Altered_Image]

I almost forgot, NICE ZILVIA OHIO sticker... hehe

[240sxgirlracer]

that car is sick!! I like...

[cleveland180]

Thanks everyone!
My username everywhere is cleveland180, makes it easy on me lol!

I have decided to forget about the grids, my new goal is to get R32 GTR wheels :D OEM'ish, 8" wide and pretty sexy! Let me know if anyone sees any for sale!

yeah, I got that sticker from a local vendor, maybe you know him? I should be in town the weekend of the 30th so I can pay you !

Did this local vendor happen to be named Nate and drive a gray S13 with a white body kit on it that looks exactly like the one in my signature? HAHAHAHA....

[cleveland180]

Oooooo... Thats kinda weird that you have his car in your sig...LOL

[SleepyEyeds13]

real nice coupe you got there dave.

[cleveland180]

Thank you! I am hoping to finish up the energy suspension bushings this week or next, then start my swap... w00t ! Just sucks that I am in college 110 miles away from my car :( it makes progress really slow, and the GF doesn't really like me leaving every weekend.. she doesn't understand I have another woman...Silvia :D

[SleepyEyeds13]

i know what your going trhuw i just try to re insure my gf that shes more important to me than the car (Right..)
haha.

[cleveland180]

I know, I hate having to lie like that... haha

[cleveland180]

Well! I finished the energy suspension, and that was a huge pain in the a$$ but its done and I have heard people say its worth it.
so i got it on the ground and wheeled it out to the sun so it could cure the clear alittle.

Dang it! I haven't checked email or Zilvia in the past couple days, but my family is in town from California, so it wouldn't have worked out anyway. Next time guys!

So, when are you guys getting back to the car? Also, when can you help me paint my car? I have the paint, reducer, clear coat, etc.... Just need to DA and finish body work, then primer and paint...

I did the wiring over the weekend and just have trouble shooting to complete. as for when we are painting your whip, let me know what works for you, If I have good excuse to go to cleveland my girlfriend gets less mad LOL!
