Well, after looking for a while, I found a 240sx to buy, Now, it is time to start repairing and building it. Now, I am doing this on a somewhat limited budget and ressources, but that should not stop me from acheiving my goal, which is simply to have a reliable Bitch.
So here is the Car as published in The AD where I found it :
Looks semi-decent, but was not all that decent once I started looking closely... But hey, where's the fun if there is nothing to do on it.
So, after taking it home, removing that Ugly Bra, and cleaning it a little, here is what came out,
RUST !!!
Removed the rear ''sponge'' spoiler and Came to conclusion I needed a new hatch after seeing this :
The other problem was the Frame-Rail, which I knew before hand, but none the less, here is the damage :
I also knew before hand that I needed a little rocker panel work, A new Fender, and a New Passenger door. Here is why :
Now, there is also a hole in the floor on each side where the Seat Brackets are, 1 Small Hole in the Trunk, and 1 Hole in the pedals area ( Where my gas pedal heel is ) Which I will get pictures of once I am finished removing the Interior.
I thought I had a Rack and Pinion problem or a PowerSteering pump problem since I was having all sorts of problems ( Kicks, knocks, HARD steering ) while in place, but it turned out to only be a Loose Belt *tu*
Also, I had to replace the 2 front tires since the 4x4 tires the previous owner had on there were rubbing all over the place while turning the wheels.
As of now this is all I have, but I will be finishing removing the interior as soon as I am back from work later today and will post pics of the damaged floor so I can possibly get tips from some of you's to fix it properly.
Also, I have found myself a Hatch and a Door which I will be getting as soon as I find the time to make a trip to Montreal ( I'm from Quebec City )
Let me know what you's all think.
