Quick Intro, My name is David. I've own 4 different 240sx but haven't been able to build because something always get in the way... This is my 2nd attempt on building one. The 3rd one I had wasnt in good shape to many rust areas to fix so I sold it. I recently bought the 4th rust free shell on Oct 1 10, So far I've been lucky enough not to pay over $500 for any of the 240sx I've own, here's a couple of Pic's so far on the progress

Nice man, I didn't realize you had an account on here!

Heck, if you are going to have a build thread with write-up, then I'll give a you heck of a deal on the Second Skin. Just make a good write-up on the install with pictures in this thread. And of course whore my name a little in the process... which it looks like you already have;)

Good luck with the build... obviously we'll be in touch.

Rear Bumper/Support Removal for those wondering how to !!

RH Duct-drafter outlet needs to be taken out to remove the lower 10mm nut for removal of rear bumper, LH nuts are easier to remove (3 nuts each side of bumper)
http://images54.fotki.com/v1615/photos/4/1712614/9264203/2010120711_31_47-vi.jpg

4 Bolts connected to the rear support bar can be access by removing rubber plugs

After removing the the complete rear unit you need to remove 8 10mm nuts from the upper bumper/support and 6 bolts on the lower side to separate the bumper and support.
