The former NECC Race car BLOG!

Hey yall, this is my project car, 89 240sx, I know nothing about the history, some members on here may know, if you do please help.

I bought the car, and im going to fix it up and built a drift biatch.
Silvia/sr20 plans for later. I just wanna drift this sauce. Here we go.
BTW, im gonna ask help from all you guys,
and this is posted in pics and video when
I finally end up getting around to setting up an NECC
acount hopefully someone will move it. Thanks…

Mods so far:
New battery
New wiper blades front
Used tires/rims from a 90
Whole fuckload of acetone to remove interior pant
New radio/shifter cover
I got the following:
New drivers seat
Door windows in good shape
Rear wiper motor
new console(where all the buttons are)
Window seals
Steering wheel

Oh… and I believe the whole front end it being held on by 2 bolts… Will add things!

Your best bet to fix those rust “holes” would be to use long strand fibreglass, which can be found at Canadian Tire and any other large automotive store.

So very, very true. Good luck with the car. I remember pulling golf balls out of it’s frame. :E

Here is the car as it sits right now, never get drunk and wash ur car.

Car needs a new hood, theres holes in it because
someone wanted to put hoodpins in it.
I don’t think it would look good if I just welded
up those holes… ill nab one from picknpull

Fuck, the picture of the window motor didnt turn out, anyways, heres the old one, no fucken clue why someone would install one without a motor, so that the window wouldnt stay up… odd, lol.

Fixed, stays up! Works good, took a bit to align it so that it would snug fit when door is closed. When i washed the car water came through the seals on the door/window, ANOYING, owell… worry about it another day.

Ask Kris, he saw how the window was held up, torque straps are your friend!

Thats all for today, imageshack is being very lame right now… feel free to ask questions/comments!!

If you wanna “drift that sauce” you’d better get some magic sweet n sour sauce dude.

Drift it like it is until is literally falls apart.

Why do u say that. Obviously its a huge piece as of now, but I like what I paid for it. I can garuntee when its done the before and after pictures will make you want to cry. Thanks for coming out.

No man it’s all good,

It’s great that you are taking a car that’s been worked over and going to make it something.

I was just mentioning that itt’l take some magic sauce to get that shit in good shape.

Yea, i fully understand that. Gives me something to spend my money/time on instead of drugs/alcohol… LOL.

Thats why i bought the car, as a project.

oh man, that is one rough shape car, good luck with the project

Hey man, mine was in a ton of pieces when i started too. As long as you have the commitment it turns out great. :trophy:

I like the spoilerless hatch, ala tape.

Hey man, keep the write ups coming! I want to see what you do with the car!

I installed the regulator with the window motor missing so I could use the window to block stuff from getting in instead of the tarp I ended up using. However, I was scared that the wind would knock the window down and break it, so I used the tarp.

By the way, the tie down straps holding the hood and window in place were ingenious, and I was really impressed you guys thought of doing that! :smiley:

Well thats what you get for being a full blown stony plain grown redneck like my friend is… You learn to tie shit with ropes! :finga:

More pics coming… if imageshack would stop being gayyy

This is probably bad hey…

O2 sensor I believe, if I woulda drove the car for 2 more minutes it wouldnt burnt that shit completly through… LOL

BTW, WHOEVER PAINTS A BLACK INTERIOR BLACK, DESERVES TO BE RAPED BY LARGE SEA TURTLES

There is fucking paint EVERYWHERE! WHY.
I have used soo much acetone getting this shit off and I cant find anything wrong, someone must have been bored as fuck.
They also painted the ebrake boot,
which is retarded because ill bet it cracked right away because when it
moves the paint just chips.
Also, someone decided to touch it before it was dry
because there was a hand print on it HAHAHA…
But a lil acetone, clean it up good as new

The vent I got with the car was broken… So, enter JDM parts here:

Man, a lot of the pics I took didnt come out because my camera likes
to shutoff at random times. I didnt get a before or after picture, but some ass
clown decided to paint the doorhandles and shit. Soo, enter jdm!

Ohhh man, I tried to tint the windows but there too fucking scratched to even do it
I can get the tint on fine, no bubbles, but the scratches stick out like an elephant in a haystack. It looks soooooo bad, I cried a little as I took them off.

But atleast I cleaned my sunroof, got it out and everything, someone stuck one of those sticky shades on it and the suction cups left nasty rings on it… Got most of them gone with, you guessed it, acetone… HAHA

Its in good shape, the seals are fucked. Same with the ones on the door/window, when I washed it a little water was in the bottom of the doors after… Anyone know where to get new seals etc?

Im sorry the pictures are so big… Imageshack doesnt resize them… and my camera is fucked wont resize them… Anyone know any other hosting sites that will resize?

Photobucket

Imageshack will as well, from what I remember.

Yea, image shack does… but it didnt work. Photobucket had nothing that showed them being resized.

Also, name changed by request… this is now the former NECC race car blog

Meh, get yourself photoshop and never have to worry about it again. If you want it I can include a CD when you come to get the car’s interior!! :smiley:

chris, can you make me one and bring it to the meet? :E
