So I decided to BUILD my first 240sx, so I went out and found me a strong running ka24de out of a 93 hatchback, then I went and found me a sorta clean 1990 hatchback.
The heart.

The chassis was dropped off to me with no suspension.

I had a bunch of 240sx parts from another project that go trashed, so I put on the complete suspension I had along with the welded diff and 5 lug swapped it and did a poor man's big brake swap with q45s in the front

Next was dropping in the heart. I didn't do any major overhaul on the motor because I already knew I ran strong and it didn't need it at this point in time. I just replaced the normal stuff, water pump, oil pump, filters, belts, plugs.

Took me about an hour to put it in by myself.
Next it was time to wire her all up. I wanted to do a wire tuck on it and relocate the fuse boxes to the trunk inside of a aluminum electrical box, and this is where I'm at on this build.
I didn't take photos of me tucking everything just a few after shots. All I've done so far is tuck the engine harness and the ugly chassis harness, I still need to relocate the fuse boxes and tuck the transmission harness. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160501/c10568fed88b29e07023dc88ccb44bca.jpg

Next I'm ordering all the rest of the parts need to the car up and running and all the supplys to relocate the fuse boxes and rewrap all the wiring.
Will post more photos once I spend more time working on her.
