Dude you are my hero, I see 240's in 15x better shape than that in the junk yard but you still go the distance to fix it up. Cant wait to see this finished.

[hpmachine]

Yo holmes, great project. I was just wondering where you picked up that thermoswitch-adapter thing for your oil cooler.

[1sikS13]

i envy you for saving another 240, its people like that give me inspiration to fix my my own car and know that it is not to far gone thank you! thumbs up for a job well in progress.

[churro]

That is some massive restoration. I admire your dedication.

paid too much for the car in the first place, hate rust, so instead of paying my mistake ine cash I payed it in time and learned a lot in the process i.e. patience wich I did not know before as for the paint it should be 1 tone maybe grey/silver 350z or something like that... charcoal grey...

I forgot a picture too... subframe with energy suspension bushings installed!

[ca20det]

thanks a lot for all your good comments too I posted on Zilvia and got bashed so took off the thread... as for the oil cooler switch I got it on ebay I spotted one from pegasus but it required too much space and fitting so I went for this one I'll see if it does the job....

fcuking awesome man. this thing has certainly come a long way. can't wait to see it finished and cancer-free

btw, where did you get your jdm subframe from? mine is pretty rusty (not as bad as yours though) so i've been looking for a while with little luck.

keep the updates coming!!

[Rellik27]

awsome

[ca20det]

i bought it from some dude for 100$ (totalled 180sx) wich is ridiculous since I have now the bigger HICAS rear sway bar

one of the holes in the rear rail is done as well as the passenger side front frame rail hole... picture soon as well as the driver side rocker soon my major p roblem for now is to get the sleeves out of the rear suspension control arms to accomodate my energy suspension bushings...stay tuned!

I give you alot of props, that is not only aftermarket work, but the restoration of a s-chassie most people would have scraped, and restoring it properly so it'll live a long life, big props.

All I have to say is WOW . You must have a lot of patience to take on a project like this and to say the least stick with it.

[FalkenDrift]

[1sikS13]

[240life]

Holy hell! I read this thread a couple months ago, and my imagination did your situation no justice! I just opened this thread up with a cpu that wasn't restricted by my work and saw how much effort you put into restoring this car. All i can say is WOW!!!!!!!! You got some serious ballz for taking on a project like that. Good luck

[m tr4nch]

a m a z i n g

looking forward to more repair work

[ca20det]

small update bodywork almost done I shoot the undercarriage in a week!

[motoman399]

looks really good!!!

[burntricer]

if that thing ever sees winter again. i will personally drive over to quebec, and shoot you

lol

are you shooting everything in POR15 before you paint it/undercoat it?

[sebazztard]

wow, ive been through 5 cars since the beginning of this project! i remember the thread on zilvia and people giving you a really hard time about it, was just about the time i found nico (and stayed...and didnt leave haha). man you've done a great job, and honestly i would have giving up (and have) at the first sight of a rust hole in the frame rail. this will pay off so much in the end. i almost wish i hadnt given up on my hatch when i see the recent pics. +100 from me. cant wait to see the final result.
