Ooops. I need to stop spending money. ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2824.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2824.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2799.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2799.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2792.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2792.jpg) Formerly a california car, sold to a man in Hamburg. Spent 4 months in Hamburg driven by a young girl (guy’s daughter) who blew the transmission out. It was then sold to the PO who bought it with the intention of making a pro street drag car. It sat in his yard and he never worked on it though for the past 7 years. It was put away running so I’m gonna see if I can get the L24 running to atleast tool around with it until I can put the swap together I want to do. I’m HOPING to do Paint/Interior/Suspension this winter and drive it on the stock engine with a new trans in the spring. We’ll see. Overall the chassis is very clean, front frame rails are solid, inner fender wells and 1/4 panels and rockers are solid. Roof has a bit of surface rust, it needs a hatch, and like all 240’s the floorboards under the pedals appear to be trash (thankfully they make weld in replacements that are of thicker steel). Anyway, yeah, I finally have gone down the Japanese car path, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, just didnt really expect it now. I blame drifting Moffitt’s 350z all year, and then going out with the S1DC guys and Bing at Dunnville. More pics tomorrow and this weekend. 🙂 :picard::lol: ---

Yeah Rick, plan is to use this for summer fun/dorifto as the 944 is totally unsuited for sliding. [quote=“Superium,post:5,topic:38822"”] I like, and dont ever think about putting the stock front bumper back on it. [/quote] Dont worry, I’m not. Different front lower valance, but no bumper. ---

dawt. what did it end at? hit me up on aim if you want that hatch i like the front bumper, as long as those extra sht isn’t on there. I’m gonna remove the bumper trim and those 2 things and put caps in the holes. someone makes fiberglass bumpers to paint body color, that’s another route which I may take at some point ---
