Sock's 240sx Rusto Project (56k, tons of pictures)

is it ok for that porting to look so sloppy? :?

It’s in material removal stage - smooth comes after I have the shape I want.

whens r the cylinders getting honed

Got my new fenders in from work. $100CDN/side.

Finally, something rust free.

How’d you get those fenders? Contact me or post it here plz. Thanks.

Ordered from Nissan maybe?! :smiley:

Considering what they charged me for a freakin hardware kit for JUST the front brakes, and the fact that they had to order that, I doubt it. Plus, Z32s are a newer car.

Maybe I’m missing something - what does Z32 have to do with anything? :smiley:

im guessing he needed the hardware kit for the Z32 front brakes…

Yup, I summarized that the dealership is a ripoff AND incompetent.

Depends on the dealership…

Post the good one, or pm me if it’s a secret :smiley:

Alta Nissan

Moving the wiring harness to avoid getting worn through by tire rub.

How the hell am I supposed to open the door? They screwed up making this fender. I ordered up a new one and will trade this one in as defective.

I think I might paint the car right after the suspension is together. I have to wait for money to do the engine work, so I might as well get the Tremclad job done during the wait time.

oem fenders?

Nope. They are care of:

It’s not defective… thats how they are made. They aren’t going to be exact by any stretch…

Reproductions suck like that…

Well, the driver side fit perfectly, so I’m hoping it was just a bad one off. Since I got them from work, it’s a simple “defective” swap to see if the other one will fit any better. If not, I’ll space them and widen the holes for it to fit.

Making the fender fit will be the easiest thing on the project.

For sure… just for anyone else deciding to go that route and that dont have that luxury, they can be made to fit well with a little work.
