Okay so about 4 years ago (give or take) i bought my bone stock 240 from a lady (second owner) who had owned it since it had like 7k on it to the 105k it had when i bought it for $1500. This being my first car, and coming from a long lineage of mechanics and my father racing its in my natural to mess with cars. A good friend prior to me getting my license has an MKIV TT...so naturally i have a goal to shoot for

Here is about the only picture i have of it stock....bone stock with a dented fender. Thanks to my dad, i got one for cheap, he wholesales autoparts for a huge corp. so the parts come fast,cheap, easy, and sometimes free.

Being 16 years old, obviously i wanted some audio and wheels immediately, as the radio did not work. First trip up to my dad's shop yielded a nismo shift knob and a set of 4 wheels and tires with 85% tread, locking lugs, a few drill bit sets, and some other misc tools. I ended up having to pay 150 for the wheels/tires as they normally inventory tires.
And i bought some megan coilovers. Installed car audio (2 12's, 1500w amp, pioneer p3100 touch screen. :picardfp:Hey i was in highschool

Of course after that was done i thought i was big ballin with my mix-matched paint 240.
So at this point, i bought a ton of shit to go boosted.

After boosting the engine, a poor tune(emance)/ and dying fuel pump. The car screamed and made some good power as long as it was running balls out. That bitch caught on fire. I was killed needless to say.
All that work.....money....time...gone. Ironically enough a rad hose blew and put the fire out saving the car.
After pulling the engine and head

Fucked pistons
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/waxball88/100_0669.jpg
So i bought a parts car for 400 based on a compression test...and swapped in an unkown mileage ka24de.
Got some wheels as i was rolling non boosted

Then during my junior year of HS i gave up my spring break to do an internship at my dad's friends bodyshop/paint shop. Took me under their wing, let me use a bay and all their tools and supplies. After days of bodywork and disassembling the car it was ready for primer
:picardfp:Stickers, i apologize
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/waxball88/paint002.jpg
After paint and putting the car back together, i ran into this kid i had just met through a mutual friend (one who owns the supra) and he shoots some pretty hd shots. I stopped where he was taking shots with a kid who paid him lol
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/waxball88/DSC_0475.jpghttp://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/waxball88/DSC_0490.jpg
I found some aero (side skirts and rear bumper) for 50 bucks local. Picked it up in time to have it painted. Also got to learn to fiberglass to fix the sideskirt that was broken.
After aero:

Got some control arms
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/waxball88/100_0615.jpg
And in my spare time i've been getting stuff ready for my engine rebuild
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/waxball88/100_0685.jpg
Then as i've been getting money i've been buying gaskets, and other turbo build parts. I bought a turbo for 20 bucks that was blown to get the inducer out of as mine got destroyed in the fire, and rebuilt mine
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/waxball88/100_0577.jpg
I managed to find a kid locally who had the front bumper that matches the rest of the kit i bought. It needs work and paint, i already glassed the cracked/weak spots. And have it mostly sanded down
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/waxball88/100_0693.jpg
Then my dad came through and a guy he does a lot of business with said we could bring my engine to him and go through him for the machine work. And we can put the engine together there, and he'll give us a hand when we need it/offer tips. Reconditioned rods, check tolerances, hot tanked, bored and honed .020 over, polished crank, pistons on rods, checked/fit rings, checked head.
