SLOWEST rebuild of all time..... OF ALL TIME!!!!

Hi fellow 240 enthusiasts, this is where I will be documenting my 'rebuild', so to speak, of my 1995 240SX.

A little back ground. I owned another 1995 240SX with a boosted KA, but to bring that car up to my standards, it would have included some major body work which I cannot not do (explanation as to why is forth coming). That car did not have a matching intercooler piping (yes, every intercooler pipe was of a different diameter) and had wires and vacuum tubes running EVERYWHERE in the engine bay.

To add to that mess, it had some trunk and rear quarter panel damage. But at the time, it was a good buy. But I did a bad thing, I kept on looking to see if by chance another S14 would appear with a better body, and yes, one did and in the colour I wanted too.

So I bought it and sold the KA-T S14. Wished I could have kept both, but it didn't make much financial sense.

But this one, even though it has a decent, rust free body, was owned by younglings who, by the looks of the car, couldn't maintain a pet rock. The pictures will show you why I said that.

The reason why this build will be slower than molasses trying to flow in Antarctica is because I don't have a ton of money, a garage, friends to help
(they are NOT car peeps) or the time to have constant and regular updates even though my plan is to have a very simple stock S14 that simply looks good. No stance, or mad camber, or flares, or stupid wide rims or even rolling or pulling the fenders.

Anyway, on to the pictures that would explain what I am starting with.

Today was flush the coolant day, but just look at this 'SHYT!!!!'







I want to rebuild the engine with all new everything, but the funds or the knowledge are not there.

I will post other issues in another post because the car also has to be 'de-riced' as well....lol
