Hey guys, I'm new here and just going to dive right into it, I've wanted a 240 since I was about 10 and it's been a long and hard road getting one coming from a hardcore muscle car dad.
But long story short I bought my first 240 on Sunday and it's someone's unfinished project and it needs alot, which is not big deal because of the tools and parts I have at my disposal.
It's a 90 hatch that someone obviously put alot of work into, 50mm VIS overfenders that are beautifully molded on, VIS
Full body kit along with carbon hood and hatch, also front fenders. All brand new ISIS suspension (coilovers, upper and lower control arms, bushing, heim joints etc.) 300zx twin turbo brakes and hubs front and rear along with drilled and slotted rotors and steel braided line. Everything's new the paint hasn't even seen sun yet and hasn't even been buffed yet. I was a little hesitant in buying someone's unfinished project because I know what these cars go through but it turned out clean and rust free. The plan so far is to put together one of the 8 or so small blocks I have in my garage (I'm looking to do a high revving 283) with a 4 speed or t56 if I can get my hands on one.
The car needs an interior and I'm undecided if I want to build a dash or just run a stock one. Also undecided on which diff I want to use but there's good news, I know how to use the search function, here's a little history on my backround, and where I learned all of my car knowledge, here's the website to the business my dad owns, building and restomoding cars
http://www.undercoverrestorations.com/
here's some pics of the car

forgot to mention it's also got a 180sx rear filler panel I believe it's called for the tailights

Been working on it while I'm waiting for parts. Put my brakes together but didn't put the calipers on because when I test fitted the wheel after I got the first set together I realized the temp. Wheels don't fit because they hit the caliper.

Also tore out was left of the old interior, It's still immaculate underneath.

Oh I'm super happy with it. No rust anywhere and I saved alot of money. I'm not dead set on selling it I'm just testing waters on what I can get for it to put towards other parts.

Looks like a solid foundation, and your idea for a high-revving V8 is pretty cool. Those overfenders look great! Subbed.

Picked up some parts today,
Side glass, hatch, tail lights and usdm filler panel because jdm lights are so damn expensive, and all the trim and weatherstripping. Took about an hour and a half to pull one side glass and then literally 5 minutes to pull the other one after I figured out a better way.

Now I'm debating if I should paint my bay the same color as the car or black with blue pearl. The black with blue pearl would match nicely if I did some accents that color.

Well this just happend, picked up a built lm7 5.3l with an ms3 cam, lifters, valves, springs, push rods, ls1 intake (I've already got an ls6 intake), arp hardware, and a holley fuel rail. It's never been ran on the after market parts so they're all still new.

Things are getting a little more exciting (and expensive)
than previously thought. I've got a t-56 to go behind it too.
it's also set up for a swap already including the oil pan.

I've decided to rebuild the tr6060 we've got in the back room of my garage instead of a t56. It was dropped during assembly and the tail shaft was broken off and I've already got a brand new tail shaft. And thats the 6060 with the 3.07 first gear and with 400tq and a 4.08 rear end and some fat tires that should make things interesting.

Also just placed a big summit racing order (Our shop gets a slight discount from them)
Flywheel, throttle body, ARP intake, TB, clutch, and*flywheel*bolts. And a lot of misc switches and relays to make the engine run. Next step, bolt the tranny to the engine and make my mounts.

Been a little bit since i updated. Ended up swapping transmissions and now have a 2014 cts-v transmission from a pullout a customer of my fathers had, he wanted the wider ratio 2010 camaro ss tranny and i wanted the close ratio v transmission so we switched, both had 0 miles. Also properly cut out the rear stock fenders and pinch welded them higher up for more clearance. and started the front tubs. pics tomorrow and should order my headers sometime this week.
in the meantime, heres some cool pics of the car sitting on some borrowed wheels.

That cuda has c4 corvette suspension all the way around including the Dana 44. Full rear end and front arms were swapped over and it has a modern 6.1 hemi and a t-56 super Magnum in it. http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg535/motoman159/Mobile%20Uploads/20140806_124151_zpsywmovzb3.jpg (http://s1242.photobucket.com/user/motoman159/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140806_124151_zpsywmovzb3.jpg.html)
Its kind of NY dads brain child he's been building it in his spare time for the past 8 or so years on and off. He also built a full frame under it to add rigidity.
