Hey, sorry about no updates. Been doing some side projects for some friends.
Anyhow, I finally painted inside my 240sx. I used 2 stage paint, so that means a white base coat followed by a quality clear coat. My favorite part is where there is seam sealer but it's smooth. ( all bottom panels have been stitched with 1 inch beads by the way ) All this won't really matter anyways because it will be cover in Dyna mat and full interior. Also you can see in the first pic why it's masked off. I originally painted the rear section of the car and all sections above, allowed that to dry over a week and then masked that all off and just focused on the front half of the 240sx. This allows me to put down some nice coats without having to reach so far and potentially touch the wet paint, it also keeps the fumes down. Enjoy these photos...

Do you have any plans to reinforce and stiffen up the chassis? Perhaps some OEM S15 Spec R braces or something similar?

Thanks guys!
Spooled240 , I stitched the front end of my chassis and all bottom panels been stitched with each other and stitched to the side panels.

Hey Guys, I'm still alive. Just took a long break from the 240 as summer was pretty hot and busy. But, I'm back at her again. Pretty much used 3M sanding guide coat on the entire engine bay, blocked everything smooth, wipe it down with wax and grease remover. Started masking everything for seam sealer. Also there is these two gaps at the top of the frame rails in the engine bay, I think Nissan really fucked this up. The gap allows water to go inside the frame rails and rust it over time. Especially on the Driver side, Brake fluid will drip in there and started deteriorating the paint which allows water to start rusting metal. So, I SUGGEST YOU ALL GET SOME SEAM SEALER AND PLUG THAT BITCH UP.

This is just incredible, I wish I had space and your skills to do exactly the same to my car.

Very nice work here! I like the picture of you holding sealant with a flammable symbol and a cigarette in the same hand lol.

Thank you, you can learn bro.... if your determined.

It's more exciting when I'm smoking and pouring paint thinner.

Okay guys... So Exactly 1 Year ago, I made all the fab work for the front tubs... The proper preparation got it to where it is now... Painted my engine bay in a Toyota Super White II . By the way, the front end has been stitched, most of them all under the body out of sight.

Great work! Looking forward to see the rest

Such gloss! That is a fantastic looking bay there sir. Well the entire chassis actually hah. What are your plans for the car? I see you mentioned 2JZ, but is this thing going to be a nice weekend kinda vehicle or?

Hey, been away from the 240sx project during the winter. It's getting warm now so I'll be getting back on that grind. Here's a 6 mins video on using Eastwood Internal Frame Coating on the 240sx frame rails, cross member, any other cavities, if anyone is interested. Sub up if you haven't, maybe it will give me motivation to grind harder haha.... Thanks

Looks good. I was planning on using that stuff on my long term resto project too, good to see a video of someone using it on something other than a truck box frame, haha! I definitely subbed a while ago.

Hey guys, just wanted to share the process of redoing my engine bay if anyone is interested.

This is a small clip on how dirty the engine bay is, the cleaning of it is pretty dirty. You have to do it no matter what.


This is a 12 Mins video on how I choose to cut and weld my tubs. I tried to be as detailed as possible.
