Looks like it has had a few repair jobs already… That frame is a scary sight though. Is this the car we warned you about that was for sale for like 1200.00? Hopefully Terry sees this and gives his .02 as to weather that frame is even fixable. Good luck man. ---

Scary framerail but the frame is easy to fix. Shouldn’t be too difficult. The long weekend is really near so I’m sure someone on here can help you out for a few dollars. The body of the car is rough and has a lot of unfinished bondo with paint on it. Like I said before, that’s gonna be hard to get the rust out unless you completely strip the metal of all bondo/paint/primer and treat/seal it correctly. I wouldn’t have paid $1200 for that car, but you can work with what you have. ---

Try sourcing one out from nissan. I think theyre about 150 bucks. Then all you gotta do find someone with decent welding skills to put it on. The park brake _should_ be an easy fix and your definatly gunna need a new windsheild for it to pass safety. buuuut, as pcproa said you can definatly work with that car. ---

you probably have no welding skills or bodywork skills, so i dont understand why u would buy a car like this when u have to pay 1500+ to fix it. you could have just paid 3000 initially and had a 240 without all the problems… you could always part it out, u might get your money back. ---

doooooodddddd reeeeeessize t3h pix0rs O\_O i saw the first couple of pics and was thinking “looks pretty clean” then BOOM! i see frame rail and the bondo job O\_O if you’re looking for frame rails (and i dont know how feesable this is) i think theres a thread about JDM imports parting out a 180sx. if they’re compatiple, i bet mitch will give oyu a cheap price. ---

^^ good idea…but thend youd just be ruining an already mint chassis. For the hassle of cutting them out of the car you might as well just get new ones…or make your own Plus i dont see why theyd want to cut the frame rails out of a perfectly good car which they could sell / start a sweet project with. ---

I can solve your problem… buy Cal-Soys car and switch parts bro i think cal’s car is way better for you… just part that one out and whatever metal you need for cal’s car use from this one you have now… [http://www.torontonissan.ca/forums/showthread.php?p=29441#post29441](http://www.torontonissan.ca/forums/showthread.php?p=29441#post29441) ---

Hey man, 1000 is the price i got it for, and i’ve put some time into this car, its almost running just needs a fuel pump i think, i’m not positive but its fuel related. its a good parts car. PM me so we can work something out. ---
