Postby 240zac » Wed Jul 30, 2008 5:38 am


well....

ive got a 1994 'vert with a 5spd swap.

late last month i wrecked it. so i took this chance to begin my VERY slow project (i just left high school, going into college)

current changes:
pignose
flat 'canteen green' (aka: olive green) paint (rattle can)


i love how it has turned out.









it needs a drop big time. but next in my plans are to get a roll bar in so i can start participating in track events and get some seat time. then comes suspension

not really my style.... but if you like it then sweet. I've always been a fan of Military Green. It's kinda like my signature color. I just never pictured it on a vert. a coupe yeah, but I dont have the balls to do it to my vert. and yea, I dont like pignose either, takes alot of the sportiness away from the 240. BTW did your bumper fall off?

I would def. go back with the chuki bumper cover, get rid of the rattle can green, and hook this beast up with some nice suspension imo
If I had all of the money I ever spent on cars, I'd spend it all on cars.

i figured that not everyone was gonna like the car. i dont expect everyone to. but i do accept constructive criticism.. most other forums would flame the living hell outta me if they didnt like it. That is one of the reasons i like the NICO community.


as for the pignose, i have always loved the pignose, and have always liked it more on the coupe body more because of the blockieness. I have the zip ties because the bumper came from a junkyard and it was slightly warped and i could not get it to fit right.

I chose the color because i have always liked it and i dont think ive seen a single 240 painted that color.

i have always been a fan of the rat rodish look on s13's and jrsink's vert kinda gave me the inspiration to put my own spin on it on my car.

btw: suspension is in the plans but first i wanna get a roll bar in so i can get some seat time on the track on stock suspension so i can get a better feel for the cars handling.

IMO the only cars that can pull off pignoses are 2 tone coupes
