Just picked up at 240sx 1989, black, with HUD and 150k on the clock.  Everything runs fine (and the owner offered to fix what didn't) and it's pretty clean.  Ran good, shifted fine, except third to second was pretty violent, even with double clutching but there wasn't any grinding or resistence.  Paid 1200 dollars.

However, there is some exterior issues with the car.  Both drivers and passneger side front quarter panels don't look great, the hood doesn't look great and neither does the front bumper.  I don't up to date on cosmetic stuff so any suggestions on what to do about it?  It doesn't look horrible but the paint on the rear car looks good so I would want the front to also look good.

Also, the headlights are good, but I was thinking about picking about some stanley raybrig H4 conversions as I've heard a lot of good things about them.

Oh and here is the future upgrade list:

whiteline anti-sway/strut bars
Kyb Agx shocks
Not short which springs yet (any suggestions?)
Camber adjustment
Full bushing replacement
Flywheel/Clutch.

After this I was considering a CA18DET swap, any place I can get more info on this swap?
