Im just going to start this with a brief description of myself. My name is Cody Loe I started this first build when i was 19, which was just shortly after I got into 240s. I absolutely love all forms driving but one most in particular. God has blessed me with a lot of amazing friends, family, and the greatest passion in the world: Drifting.

Im going to start from the very beginning. My first build was decent I started with a cheap shell from my buddy Derek and $3500 to put into it. Im still learning so if you have any advice or suggestion please feel free to give me your input. The thing i love most about cars and drifting is there is always room for improvement. Also, im not in this just for myself I love the drifting lifestlye and every one in it, so if you have any questions on anything i did or need any help dont be afraid to ask ill try to answer them to the best of my ability.

Heres what i started with (so sorry the first few pics absolutely blow i took them with my crappy broken iphone, but i promise they get better now im using my new crappy broken i phone)

Very straight body which is what first turned me on to the car. obviously everything else looks like a$$. I really just wanted something completely built with my owns hands because you cant trust anyone elses work on a 240.

I started sanding down the engine bay and welding in all the holes on the fender wells and cut the battery box out and welded in a plate. I couldnt stand all the random butt holes everywhere and i Wanted a really smooth clean engine bay. and i apologize these are the pictures that look like i took them with a potato under water.

Primed it up

Painted that Beezy

Made a power brace

Made a cross bar

Slapped that shizz on

The trunk pan was ridiculously rusted out so i cut one out of my buddy G's car and welded it in mine

Bam now youll never know

Started doing all the bushings

New ball joints and cut the bump stops off FLCA and plated them. Kablamm!

Gettin that Angle Persuasion. cut the steering arms and re welded

Moved it in and lowered it. People always tell me its the wrong way to do it and its going to snap but its lasted the past 3 years and still going strong so jokes on them.

Got some crappy K sports off my buddy Jablowme for 300
