Brand new not sure what to do.
I have a completely stock 240sx who only had one owner(and that was my dad) he recently passed it down to me. I want to make this into a good project car but do not know where to get started at, any advice would be great, this is my first post so hopefully I didn't do to bad.

Whoa whoa whoa, what? "a beast of a car" ? What do you mean by that?
Honestly dude, if you're really new to the 240sx scene and don't know much I would just buy another 240sx and mess with and learn with that. IMO if I were in your shoes that car would mean A LOT to me and I wouldn't want to ruin it and anything done to it would be clean cut and proper. Keep it as a DD and if you're really interested in messing with 240' then get another one to make a "beast" out of. Because if you knew enough to make a "beast" you wouldn't be on this forum ask such vague questions. Point is -Leave the car alone, at least for now till you learn more. You have all the time in the world for that car. No rush. -If you're REALLY still interested in building a 240sx than buy a shell or any cheap 240sx really and build that. Use it as a learning experince, trial and error. You won't regret things ask much and mistakes would just be part of the learning curve. -You also seem young so don't jump into this too quickly. Like I said, you have all the time in the world. HOLD ON I'M A FUCKING ILLITERATE IDIOT. I THOUGHT YOUR DAD DIED. SORRY. I JUST REALIZED YOU SAID PASSED DOWN, NOT THAT YOUR DAD PASSED AWAY. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. I HEARD GOD SPEED IS COOL. |

Understand what you are aiming for and the budget needed 5. Save save save 6. Do the project in FULL stages. Until then... Leave that car alone!!!!!!! |

One thing you can do for free is check the body for rust ... if it has become a pile of rust, there is nothing you can do with it (except buying another one and using this one as a donor car)

If it's in a very well kept condition, do not fuck it up with body kits and rice. That's all the advice I have. |
