Trunk floor is still good. Still runs and drives straight, factory 5sp

And its creamy yellow not creamy white. (ew)

Oops. I always get Creamy Yellow and Warm White confused.

Did that friend of yours think it was too far gone for saving?

[Wake]

No its savable.no frame damage,probably needs a new filler neck. but he drove it from the bay to monterey. He was Just hoping it would have been some simple sheet metal.

He said the trunk floor is still good but he hasnt been under it yet to see whats up with the tank and such.

Clean title tho

[KAToso]

I guess it just looks alot worse than it is. That quarter panel looks kinda crimped downward.

[Wake]

Yeah you have you remember how much space there is on the inside of that QP

But i havent seen it myself so i cant say for sure

Hmm thats true. Worst case, if it does require a new quarter panel is doesn't look THAT hard. Its just gonna take a good amount of time and effort to to right. Either way I still dont feel its worth the thousand bucks hes asking for it. What do you think max value is?

[holemilk00]

It's a loaded sunroof HUD creamy yellow factory five speed with a clean title. It's worth a grand. If it wasn't going to cost me $600-$1000 to ship it across the country I would have already paid the guy for it.

[Wake]

I would say its worth a grand, prev owner had it up for 1200.

If you plan on keeping and restoring it like holemilk would have, its worth 1k.

If you want a decent track car, its worth it.

If you want a daily you can jump right into, its not.

simple as that.

Try to revive this thread a little bit. Here's some pics from this past weekends Frankenslide even at CFRC

[kyle_340]

sup guys, pretty much just here for this thread haha.

bought a two tone as my first car many years ago. sold it shortly after i got my license and bought an s14 which a i played around with for a couple years. the whole time missing my two tone and wishing i had another one.
sold the 14 and bought a worked 15 but still, my craving for another two tone lived on

couple months ago picked up a bunky shitter two tone with a ca18de auto for $600.
the exterior isnt too bad in the pic, its beyond terrible in person




was fixing her up for the pits so i could use it as a daily, untill one day i saw my first love for sale. my first s13 was back on the market and i had to have it so i snapped it up asap and sold the bunky

colour - silver/grey
engine - ca18de
transmission - manual
wing - stock ca
hud - i wish
suroof - still wishing

plans are to get a ca lip, works vs-xx and nismo skirts. also want to get the dents out and a full respray one day. really want this to be a MINT two tone

good to have my baby back <3





and all three sils, just before i sold the bunky

[kyle_340]

also, need a two tone preservation sticker asap haha.
two tone s13s are the tightest shit, and if you dont think so then get the fuck out of my face

Just got my car back from paint today.

Before:



AFTER! YAAY!



So glad this thing doesn't look like a bag of dick on roller skates.

[kyle_340]

whats up with all the onevia's in 'murica?

were they sold from the dealer like that?

[iVanRoz]

All s13s had pup ups in the states.

[kyle_340]

da fuck? why u so backwards merica?

so all s13 front ends have been converted back from pop up lights?

[!Zar!]

In America all s13's have pop ups.

So any s13 in america with fixed 'silvia' headlights means the owner changed the front end.

S13's in america have pop ups due to crash and safety requirements or something like that.

Here is $1200 bucks worth of backyard frame straigtning on that cream two tone posted above. He posted on FB that he had planned to turn it into a track car/missile. Just glad bills came up and hopefully save this car from him.

I blame Japan for that one, seeing as they made the cars before sending them here

What? If you mean silvia fronts in the US, that is a yes and a no. Any USDM S13 over here with one is a swap, but there are also a lot of JDM cars that have been imported whole.

$1200 worth of new rust holes! woo hoo!

God dammit Australia get your shit together. All of our fastback and coupes came with pop up front ends and only pop up front ends. Your "s13" aka Silvia front did not come on our schassis/240sx, ever.

C'mon everyone in good ol' apple pie eating 'merica even understands how NZ, Aus, and Japan got their cars and what was in them.

Holy fuck... Sitting here thinking "that looks like Kyle's house in those shots". What are the odds of that?

I've got a Nismo front bar kicking about if you need it. Needs a bit of love, but it's a legit plastic one.

[KiLLeR2001]

Well ladies and gents, the numbers are in.

1990 Two-Tone 240sx's DO EXIST! However, as you can imagine they are extremely rare. They did NOT offer Creamy Yellow's, but they continued a small run of Silver Green's and an extremely small run of Platinum Blue's.

Here are the production numbers for factory original 1990 two-tone 240sx coupes:

Creamy Yellow (#5G8): 0
Platinum Blue (#6G0): 14
Silver Green (#5G7): 316

Happy hunting my fellow two-toners!

[zerodameaon]

Out of those 14 its likely 10 of them are crashed, 3 of them are repainted and only one is OG #6G0
