Wassup my fellow s chassis owners,
I kind of have a dilemma to keep or sell my 240sx and import another one.
Short background story.
Wanted to buy my first car, wanted it to be LHD since first car and sx.
Came to mind that the 240sx was LHD and coupe so in my book instant win, living in the netherlands there kind off wasn't a big chance to buy an LHD coupe s13.
Posted a wanted topic on a dutch sx owners forum if someone has a 240sx coupe for sale, time went by, recieved a message from this guy saying he has one, and now here we are owning one of 2 LHD s13 coupe's excluding convertibles.
Car had some problems that I know of, find out it has more then I was told, most of the problems been fixed, car is roadworthy again, registerd, insured etc.
Problems that still are there/needs to be fixed
Sunroof rust, sunroof doesn't work
Some more minor things.
The interior has been stripped excluding the dash, door panels and seats etc.
My plans for the car nice again and making the interior complete again or at least for 98%, now these parts aren't the easiest to find in good condition and since we didn't get the coupe official the interior parts for the coupe are even worse to get.
And that is just to get it to be a nice base so excluding coilovers, 5 lug swap etc.
Now my question is what would you guys do.
Trying to source parts for the sx and make it nice again ?
or
Sell and keep the cost relative normal by playing quits or slight loss and look for another/better base for my ideas ?
Let me know what you guys think, maybe it can help me even more to make a decision
