a closer inspection of the car i found some disturbing news i have large rust holes along the chassy rails
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00202.jpg
this is the biggest one i can fit my whole hand thou it

this one on the inside of the car
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00205.jpg

and of coarse no 240sx is complete with out ghettoizing something
this is a huge peace of metal rusting away with some kind of epoxy

since there wasn't anything to do i decided its time to do all the little thing i wanted to do. like clean up and re-paint all my accessories

here are some i did last night i forgot my cam so i don't have any before and after pics but trust me they were rusty as hell

now there nice clean
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00213.jpg

here kinda the process what i did
i went to vatozone to pick up some of that 500 degrees motor paint eer whatever ive tried this stuff before and its ok but sticks better with primer thats is designed for this time of usage

this is the high temp primer looks like when its sprayed on
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00207.jpg

i let is sit for about an hour till it dryed and sprayed the actual high temp paint added about three cotes looks much better in person and feels so smooth
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00208.jpg

i also did my intake manifold
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00214.jpg

here my durty ass tranny and i had cleaned it before so i went round 2 on its ass
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00209.jpg

now its clean... sort of :/
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00212.jpg

i did the same thing as before
primed it up
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00215.jpg

new paint added
and now looks like this
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/surges14/My%20S13/DSC00216.jpg

im very happy the way all of this turned out

please excuse my total noob question, but what kind of welder do you use for chassis spot welds?

you can use a MIG welder...

a TIG can also be used but its more practical to use a MIG faster and it still gives you a nice look..

Serious talk,

I'm kind of confused on the amount of work being put in specific areas and leaving out the rest. Why are you spot welding the frame rails along with the tranny tunnel? If you are going for super structure and rigidity, why not just build your own frame rails or replace them, especially with that huge hole in one of the frame rails. Plus, I think you would have just upped the rigity and strength of the cabin area 10 fold by putting in a full cage.

And with that, it just seems pointless to me re-weld the rear sub-frame. I don't know the power you are expecting to push, and with the frame work so far I assume alot, which brings me to ask are you planning on upgrading the brakes? With the pictures on the rear subframe with the ichiba hubs in along with the stock brake shroud, it seems to say no.

Once again, not talking shit, I'm just curious on what your plans are.

all you need if you is a grinder and wire brush attachment get down and dirty then clean it up then cote it with some herculiner (truck bed liner)
