Hey guys, yup got another car, still own the CB so no worries there lol. Well just recently i picked up this 93 Nissan 240sx from my uncle for around 400 bucks, must say wasn't a bad deal 
. From first impressions, you may think this thing is ugly with the rust it has, stock height, steelies, and just looking over all goofy. Its what lies inside that makes me so happy to own it, the car itself including engine and shell has yet to exceed the 100k mark. yes I typed it right under 100k, but shell went through tough times in the miles it put on. Very lucky to own one with such low mileage for its age, but thats really the only upside, besides being a 5 speed, and i like the coupe model over hatchback anyday. Enough with all this non-sense talk, ill let pic's show you its real shape...
In this pic you see the 4 dots on the trunk, is from panel clips covering holes from the stock spoiler on there, which looked ugly so i took it off, wasnt an SE spoiler either.
Under 100k!!!
Clean interior for what it is...except passenger seat.
On to the rust...
thats all the pics I've taken so far, cause its super rainy out and nothing is getting done til it stops. Once it stops engine will get a nice cleaning, along with body. As for rust, I'm pretty good with body work but this one is a little more extensive then what i have tackled, but a good task to take up. its mostly just the rocker panels, outside only underneath is still pretty rust free give or take a few spots, the rear quarters behind the tire, i got those on lock cause those are pretty easy. besides the rust, and a few problems I've run into i don't think its that bad, a good daily for awhile. and you can see the CB gets the garage spot. But heres a to do list, and future plans.
**everything in green is done**
To Do:
*Fix rust
*Figure why Wipers and Washers dont work ( hooked up to toggle switch for now)
*Figure why speedometer suddenly quit ( happened yesterday )
*Figure out why A/C controls and vent changing buttons dont work
*Find problem with cigarette lighter ( need it to charge my phone and Ipod )
Plans:
*Intake
*Exhaust
*Coilovers or New Struts and Lowering Springs
*Wheels and Tires ( Kicker - bolt pattern same as CB so i can buy 1 set of wheels for 2 cars
)
*Down the road later, Build and Boost ( KA-T )
*Whenever i have money i would like to do engine swap (rb25dett...Probably will NEVER happen)
well thats it for now til rain is gone, ill update when i can. thanks for looking!
