so i posted a new thread on another forum without much interest. im looking for a 240sx forum that stays pretty active maybe this one?
hi guys, i thought id go ahead and start my build thread up. i just got the shell yesterday. anybody need any parts? its a 95 se/le model thats been sitting for quite some time im hoping to show how reasonable this swap can be done including my gas bill (lol)
im usually a 3000gt guy myself but always wanted a 350z, as i stated im not exactly rolling in dough so i have to make due with what i got. ill keep a running tally of everything i buy rounded up to the nearest $10.
so how about some pictures? sorry there huge but im blind
taken yesterday, had a time getting her home (litterlly 4 blocks)
saleens sitting pretty flush i may keep them on the car.
and how about my current vr4? just to do it.
