Thanks for the compliments guys.I paid quite a bit for the car. Came to about $7300 Canadian. I didn't mind since I wanted a clean car with no rust...in other words, a good platform to start modding. I do need to start working on the interior, since its clearly showing its age. I have a been lurking the vert forums for a while. I am taking after AZhitman in my approach to modding by returning the condition to brand new before I start tacking on more mods. All I have done is clean up the car a bit and put on some parts I had laying around (25mm and 30mm wheel spacers and a STB). The rest of the car is came as you see it. Oh, and the bumper is Vertex.

Hey guys, time for a little update. I swapped in some better condition S13 leathers that my buddy gave me for free. The slushbox also started acting up so I got the car swapped to five speed. Here are some pics:
The driveshaft is ugly and rusty because its from a piece of **** Canadian 240. Oh well lol.

Yep, this was Halo's old car. I have done quite a few mods sinec I got it on May 19th though. I did 30mm spacers, Tein Flex coilovers, 5spd swap, and ghetto S13 leathers. I'm very happy with the car. Next on the list is a triangulated STB. I'm just waiting for AZhitman to finish making them  .

So, I guess its time for a little update.I took the vert to the track and this happened: 
It wasn't the motor even though it looks like oil lol. Its just really dirty coolant. I bought a new Koyo and Nismo Engine/tranny mounts. 
I also got one of AZhitman's STBs but haven't taken a pic yet.

I haven't updated for a while but its only cause I don't have many pics :S. My camera got stolen/lost so I had to use my cam phone. Here are a few pics of me installing the rad and mounts. I also got some wheels with R comps for the track and sold my kat coupe. Don't mind the stock suspension on the car. It has been resting for the winter so I wanted to take the opportunity to clean and grease up my coilovers. 
I know how much you guys love pictures so here are a few older pics that I found that I never posted on this site. 
Once spring rolls around, I'll post many more pictures.

240sx Coupes were sent from Japan to US, then the Cali company was hired to convert them to Verts. So just the extra bracing, parts that had to be changed, and convertible top parts were done in Cali.
Damn I was beat.

Well most of the snow is melted so I decided to bring my car back out after 6 months to see how it drives. I forgot how awesome this car is compared to my beater Corolla lol. Right now the 240 is on coilovers in the front but stock in the rear. Somehow one of my dampening adjustment knobs got damaged so I'm waiting for my new one before I throw the rears back on.Here are the pics. My friend just put some new wheels on his Cavalier as well so hes pretty excited. 
I also tried to put on my rear Vertex style bumper. The key word is style lol. That **** didn't fit at all and I had to return it. The guy who sold it to me was a good guy and choose to overlook the small cracks and scratches I made from trying to stretch the bumper on. Here are those pics:
