well guys im fairly new to the site but not to the 240sx.
ive finally found a clean enough shell to start with.
it all began when i was 15. after selling my 90 civic hatchback i bought a coupe and fell inlove with it. now at 17 and with income i will get somewhere.

my first 240. a 89 sohc coupe.
that car was clean. but it had 166k and the motor wasnt taken care of. it needed work and i was 15 at the time. i had no job and no way of replacing a motor, so i decided to get rid of it. heres some pics.

then i came to my second one. a 92 dohc coupe.
it had very bad bodywork. bondo on both quarter panels. a twisted and mangled radiator support. some rust on the floorboard, but i made the best of it.

when i got it.

Pretty cool that you're young and you've got yourself a good platform, but honestly, this isn't really a build.

More like, look at my car and here are the parts it has.

Belongs in the picture thread.

do some work on it, document it in detail (pictures and good descriptions..) and then maybe it'll become a decent build thread...depending on the quality of work/parts used.

Until then, this is just stuff you can put in the picture thread. Welcome to zilvia btw :)

Its not really a "build" thread per say, I wouldnt be surprised if a mod locked it.

Clean ass s13 though.

i guess it isnt a BUILD thread because the car isnt being torn down and there arent many things happening to it in a short period of time. just a little of my 240 background and what i have gotten myself into. the fastback is by far the cleanest shell i have owned so far. i guess this can be locked. there wont be too many things going on for it because i am saving for a motor and until then there wont be too many updates. i can document repairs i guess lol. i need to replace some studs and lugnuts. the car also need a shifter bushing. thanks for the welcome everyone.

Lot of pictures here, but no build thread is taking place... We have a thread for pictures
