What do you think about this? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

CarRamrod · 04-15-2015, 01:08 PM

I bought this S13 240 for $150 so I'm not highly invested in it. I bought it as a shell. The only rust it has is just slight surface rust. Nothing that can't be easily sanded off. However, here is the issue I have.

The floorboards were used by someone as a jacking point so basically they are pushed in. Same with the sub frame connectors. The research I've done says that the frame rail connectors aren't a big deal and it's common so I was going to remove them and just box it in to add a little strength. But I wanted to see what yall thought about these floorboards. Is the car trashed or not worth wasting time or will it be ok? This isn't a show car, it's a drift car and will have a full cage and all that. The doors shut fine and all that so I know it's not bent. But it looks like ass.

Tell me what you think.

I'd say fix it. You got a lot of work there anyway.

looks like a great start for a track car build. If your trying to make it mostly stock again there will be a lot of parts to find lol.

That's all it's going to be is a track car.

I have all the parts. I just tore it down to this to start cleaning and all that.

Just wanted to make sure that it's ok before i invest money and time in it.

Looks like it's missing a few things?

why do people start fucking pointless threads like this
who gives a fuck if the floor looks like shit its gonna be a track car
even if you were gonna put in a whole interior the carpet is gonna cover that.. no one is gonna get under the car and point out your bacon floor board..

you ever think about pressure cleaning your fence? It works really well actually

Matej · 04-17-2015, 08:42 PM

Check the passenger side quarter panel for scuffs.

So this is what it looks like when a car has dickcheese.

*anti tyler* · 04-17-2015, 09:06 PM

If you're really asking about the floor boards, I think this is the reason they invented dead low hammers and rubber mallets. Pound that shit out and go about your business. The floorboards are really no major concern unless we are talking seat mounting points.

If those four bolt holes don't line up you're in for some shit. Considering usually you wouldn't find that out until you got the car mostly assembled and started on interior lol.

Sir, I would like to inform you that your car is on its side
