Well since most of us bought these cars used, it should of or is some sort of bad shape…like rust, REALLY bad rust (socko),dents, accidents…etc.
So guys, post pics, or tell us your tale about your experience with your 240, what kind of work did it take for you to get a nice or beat up 240, and howd you fix it up, pics would be best…i guess…
well, i bought my 240sx as a 91 fast back, champagn LE on April 9th 2006. I am the 5th owner, and a proud one…haha… And it was in horrible shape, fugly is the word. If anyone saw my car back then, they think i was an idiot to even pay for a car like that(not intended to say that my car is sweetilicious right now, but yeah).
First day got the car, drove home with no plates, April 9th 2006
as you can see, the front light, bumper, and hood is messed up, including the trunk, it was rusted to death. the rest, only the rear mud guard area had rust, the frame rails were ok.
Here is a pic of me having the left side light cover replaced, along with the left side plastic trim on the light, both from the junk yard. April16th 2006
and again, same day, different angle, oh yeah, the previous owner tried to go jdm and put a silvia K’s paint job on it. w00t. its tyte yo!
Got a new hood from “my_first_car” was suppose to go get a hatch lid from him but ended up buying a hood. April 25th 2006
Another pic of the same day, different angle, as you can see, the bumper is pretty much flush now, i used one of the legs of my stand up fans to support it up, as the clip holding the bumper was bend too far down.
Front lip purchased from Cahil, and installed on the same day. Date, unknown.
Got my hatch replaced, roof sprayed black to match the two tone, and go tthe 7 spokes a new paint.
Very low stance, thanks to the lip hahaha, car nor lowered btw. Another look of the painted roof …
Just got new rear brake rotors, after they were siezing up and making really weird noises. Replaced them with Magnum Cross drilled roters, with RDR pads. Got all four rims painted.
Finally, this is July 18th 2006, which is today, got skirts and a rear valence from anghellic for a wicked deal. Finalyl got rid of the silvia paint tone and went with the japanese cop car look …lol…i dunno, i had to do it to match it up.
rear paint job, btw, all paint was done on my drive way, and witha spray can. haha
side view
still stock height, going to put on IKON-7’s 17"on the rear and the NISMO rays rims for the front right after i lower it with coilovers…so thats the transformation from then to now. hope everyone enjoyed the pics…
so, what is your story behind your car?
