Thanks man! I wish it wasn't as dark as it is, but I feel pretty satisfied when I see it in the sun.

Yeah they were 17x9 +12 Rota Grids. Thank you sir!

Well time for a little update!
I snapped some day light pictures of my interior.

And a little teaser for whats to come.

Thanks for looking!

Awesome build dude, subbed

RickyS13. · 03-12-2013, 01:00 PM

Great build man paint looks nice. Only things I don't like are the wheels and steering wheel but if it works for you that's all that matters

Idahos13 · 03-15-2013, 04:02 PM

Yeah I was planning on changing both the steering wheel, and the wheels here soon. I only am running the mustang reps because I needed cheap wheels that looked decent when I converted to 5 lug. Thank you though!

Idahos13 · 04-22-2013, 12:52 PM

Hey guys I have been busy recently.
My friend took some pictures yesterday with his nice camera, but I did with my cell phone.

Hard Parking at my house.

Got myself a spoiler

I was working on both of my 240's.

Pulled the SR Swap out of the white 240.

I win.

I should be tearing apart the SR soon. The people who rebuilt it did it wrong, so I'm going to take it apart see what needs fixed and put it together correctly.
Thanks for looking guys! Hopefully I can post some pictures that my friend took here soon.

taylorwallace9 · 04-22-2013, 01:33 PM

woohoo!

So I have more pictures lol.
Here is the Turd 240, I pulled the SR swap stuff out of it. I'm debating keeping it, but I will most likely sell it.
It is pretty beat up and haggard looking lol.

Interior is pretty nice though. Head up display, Non cracked black dash. Digital climate control.

Booty shot of my purty 240 lol. I love my ISIS exhaust

Monster Energy is a must while working on the 240's.

Thanks to my friend Cody!

*TheRealSy90* · 04-22-2013, 10:58 PM

I believe the problem with that sr was the bearing clearances were incorrect, so it seized up due to them being too tight. When me and lee tore it apart and put it back together we did everthing exept the bearings because we were instructed not to if I remember correctly. At least someone is finally going to work on it now.

Idahos13 · 04-22-2013, 11:04 PM

Hmm, well hopefully the crank isn't trash.

A DUDE · 04-23-2013, 12:33 AM

dude... clllllleaaaannnn. Love your car, but those rims aren't my thing. Literally spot on what I want to do with my 240 when i get one... (meeting tomorrow, fingers crossed it checks out).

Looks like you did an amazing job with the paint and i hope to have the mechanical know how and skills that you do so I could swap and rebuild engines myself as well. Keep it up

Idahos13 · 05-18-2013, 02:22 PM

Alright a little update is in order.
I bought my friend Derek's old s13 hatch for the SR swap.
So I pulled the complete swap and sold the shell. I was poppin' hatches.

Bought a wing for the 240

Went out to firebird to watch my friend Tyson race the Termi.

It has begun. Please excuse the dusty vehicle.

I didn't get to mount the middle section of my valances.

I put the SR on the motor stand for disassembly.

Sorry for the cell phone phone pictures. I'm hoping to have the motor tore down soon so I can fix whatever I come across and hopefully swap it into my 240 sometime here soon. Thanks for looking and stay tuned for more

Idahos13 · 06-29-2013, 08:02 PM

So I haven't updated this in a while.
I Did a leak down test on the motor and the first cylinder valves are leaking compression out of them. So a valve job would probably be best. Crank seems fine.

I bought Square G33 Wheels
Wheel specs: Square G33 17x9 +15

And some pics I took yesterday.

I swapped my tires over to the G33 Rims.

Put my new rims on and lowered the rear some more.

Big Zee · 06-29-2013, 08:25 PM

it looks so good dude!!! I love the look of you hatch with the rota's, mustang reps, and the G33's. keep up the good work!!
