My names Chris and ive been into cars since i was a little kid. Coming from a family of muscle car owners they find it funny that im building a car with a "tiny 4 cylinder". I've always wanted a 240sx but people that sell them around me want about 4X more then the car is worth, so i just waited. Then one day when i was in class about to fall asleep, i get a call from a friend and i pick up and tell him quietly i can't talk and i'm in class. He tells me to step outside that it is important. He tells me he met somebody that wants to get rid of a shell for 400 bucks because hes moved on and bought a new car or w.e So i check it out and its got a swiped quarter panel, and a 6 inch or so rust spot on the passenger floorpan. Other then that it was in overall good condition. No cracked dash, nx1600 digi cluster, etc. Its paint is pretty much done but im not entirely concerned with that.. the Drivers quarter panel is side swiped. I managed to beat some of it out, but im tossing overfenders on it anyway. I picked up a redtop about 2 months ago from jdmengineworld in queens NY. the turbo was seized. I put oil into it and it managed to spin but not freely enough to consider good. So ive been collecting parts to finally put it into the 240 which i should have mentioned is a black 93 hatch. I'm tossing on a few upgraded parts while im at it. A Isis intake mani and front mount kit, mishimoto rad with 2 efan pullers, aluminum 1 piece driveshaft, tubular exhaust mani and full 3 inch exhaust, SS turbo lines with a s14 water neck so i dont have to feed the return behind the motor. And a few other random parts. Its going to be rough around the edges for a while but i wanted to get it running so i can atleast enjoy it a little bit while i get bigger and better parts for it.
