Hey all, i just bought a 91 240sx on saturday for a project car. I bought it for only $350 and am planning on fixing it and putting it back on the streets. Ive some have downloaded the entire manual for free somewhere so i shouldn’t have a problem not know what to do. im currently going to be working on rust and customizing looks since all mechanical is great. :R The goods: - it runs and drives great with 210 400km - new tokico shocks all around - new 3" exhaust - new clutch - sleepy eyes (without cutting the brown wire)… i like to be unique - have each head light winking sepretly ( light goes on and off, not flip indepently) The bads: Like any s13 out there, theres rust. For myne, its 18 years old ( built in 1990 as one of the first 240sx of the 1991 year) and has lots of it. - needs new floors around the rear seat foot area - holes in the front under the feet - surface rust is the rear trunk area -OF COURSE THE FRAME RAIL RUST( Both Sides)…if anyone you lend a hand with what to do and material or even help would be amazing. - rear fender rust The Future: Big plans to make it a beaut!. - will add bings wide body fender - great stereo with 2 12" pumping 1800 Rms - short shifter - Flat colour paint (paint soon to be decided on colour). will post pics asap ---

Cool! I just bought a '90 in charcoal gray. Mine’s auto though… Similar problems with the body, though mines only the rockers and rear fenders, the frame rail rust is only surface. Not severe yet 😉 Can’t wait to see your pics. I need some inspiration! ---

good luck lotsa work ahead look into maybe getting some square or rectangular tubing bent up from a proper bending house (yellowpages) this will be maaad stronger than the regular patch and look the same. lotsa guys trying to get the OE rails cant find em i think theyre cancelled best of luck on your projects boys…now go get 'em! ---

dam, good luck man, mine were patched up and the metal used was not as thick as you may think. Well good thing your rails still have their shape. some 240sx’s i see with rusted out rails are all warped and mangled so your not that bad! ---

Talk to fastback240, he’s making some stainless-steel frame arches that would be perfect for your frame’s condition. ---

Wow… Seeing those pics, if you didn’t buy that car as a project, I would’ve bought it as a parts car! Its got EVERYTHING that I need to make mine ‘just the way I like it’. But good on your for taking on this project! I know I would’ve never tackled it… Just too big of a project for my current status (1st year college this September) Its going to look sweet when you’re done! Also, I noticed you’re in Ajax as well, where in Ajax are you? I’m south, about a few blocks from the lake. I live just past Shoal Point. ---

Yea fastback\_240, im that kid that came to look at the one in your dp a while back when you were selling it. Seeing your frame work enspired me to get another project 240. Does the frame need 1/4" or can i go 1/8". XSNRGE, i just live on the other side of 401. hwy 2 and hardwood. we should hook up some time. Yea im kinda in the same position as you going into the 1st year of collage. Im lucky now that i can do all the welding i need at school for the next few months then buy a welder if i have to. i have a date of 2 years kinda set for the entire project to be finished. its a long way a way but it will look good and be worth it ---
