nickdestcroix Slow going Progress Thread

I Started out Receiving a 240sx from my neighbor for free, looked great at first didn’t know the common problems of the 240sx at the time. Got Further into it and realized it was Far gone :S Continued to work on it till something good came out of it. I decided to go to No Frills in Niagara Falls on a Sunday night to see what sunfires i could find with over sized body kits and dual Spoilers on them, Like The usual line up

Looks good,

So thats what a son sticker looks like, never seen one. I want it

lol the car was delivered to my friends place when i was out of town that sticker put a bigger smile on my face then the rest of the car did haha

hey man i say we have a 3way build thread?you myself and mysterious_240 where all doing our builds now and my self and myst. are minimum wage hommies so we can make this fair you down?
what are your plans for this car to?

haha I’m minimum wage on a out of season tourist job, so i’ll predict myself to be in last place lmao But i’m still working on it haha and pretty much what you see there is what i have for the thing haha
and i’m thinking SR20det or RB20det current engine in parts car is a ka24e… and not worth the time or cash to swap from one to the other
want to paint the car black, it needs new suspension brakes ect The welding and metal work i need to get done befor i can consider swaping is whats slowing me down at the moment located in the falls and the car is even further, closer to fort Erie area.

haha no worries man both of our cars have rust to lol

Fuck it was cold last night, worked till 1:30 in the morning

… Note to all who plan on Completely swapping all the wiring and interior from one car to the other, Remember where it all goes, Could have had this done a lot sooner had i fallowed the golden rule of Sharpie and Plastic bags

Now i know everyone’s seen there own dashboard and probably the mess of wires under it before, but just taking pics to show my progress , And chances are I’ll have to take this all apart again in the near future but Shit happens, its where I’m at for the moment

Oh and if anyone ever does strip there interior down and and rebuild the dash, take some time to sand and paint the Bar behind it … it only takes a little bit of time and is just nicer to work with haha :slight_smile:

yoo wudd up man !! i c project watermelon is coming out noice lol. your making alot of progress with it good job man :thumleft: cant wait to see the finished project :wink: :slight_smile:

Hey It’s god to see that your taking the car down to it’s bare essence and doing it the right way! +1 to you !

I want to make sure this thing is going to be drivable for more than a few weeks and not break down like my truck did when i got itmay it rest in piece’s all over lundys lane

… I’ve never even driven a 240sx before … i have 2 … the one is the chassis I’m using now and the other one was Swiss cheese in the frame rails and i wouldn’t have trusted myself driving the thing, So I’m just excited to get it running haha, but I’m going to pretty much buy all new parts from the get go haha suspension, brakes, engine, wheels, ect …
anyone want to donate to the cause and take me out for a spin in one at least would be much appreciated haha

install a vlsd out of a 91+ 240sx … the open diff are shit

already in there :smiley:

Mind you i’m not sure how well it works anymore… lol

Good work so far.
