Try readjusting the panel's. You might have to use shims. Ask a body guy, Adjusting goes a long way.

that is what my plans are for tomarrow! I have some wood shimms and am gonna try to find some plastic ones tomarrow. I am leaving work at 1100 cause the direct tv repair guy is coming to appraise our damages. So hopefully he will only be there for 20 min so I can be working all afternoon on my ride.

ok so I worked on it for 4 hours today and this is what I got now. I ended up having to remove the old the radiator support and put the new one in. I should have done this at first!!!
The fit is not perfect still but I would say 100 times better. It is better than some 240's I have seen on here with their bricks installed.

I gotta replace the injectors and radiator still. I am still kinda in the air. I am on a tetter totter with sr on one side and rb25 on the other. I just dont know. I am waiting till the spring and my neighbor is gonna hook me up with a sick paint job. I am gonna do metallic green and mettallic black 2 tone with green on the top, I think. I just got this project 1 week ago. I am making slow progress and I am in no hurry to complete.

I'm sure i'm not the only one who has a special place in his/her heart for the OEM two tones...ahh i want one! anyway the red and blue you have picked out, i can't help but think "GIANT's sponsored coupe." Its not an easy task picking out colors for a two tone, it always looks off if its not oem in my opinion.

I am thinking it is not gonna be a 2 tone ever again! I am thinking a vibrant color once the swap is completed. I am gonna get the aero swap build the motor, sr or rb25 to the max and take a few weeks of vacation and when I return from my vacation it will be all done. I just have to wait until I re-enlist Again. Gotta get that bonus $$$$. I have another year till then so I will have everything all planned by then. I want 500 hp so I am thinking what will be the best/most relilable. I am not really worrying about money cause I am getting a few bucks and only have a few bills to pay off with it. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. decisions decisions.

ok so I got some paint from work. It is black enamel 2 part. I am picking up a spray gun at harbor freight tomarrow and am gonna spray this down. I am not sure if I need a clear coat with this so I am gonna try a test piece. I broke my cam but I will borrow one for pics.

hey didn't you have a 1995 240sx SE? lolI see you are painting your own car! Me and my dad painted my bumpers and aero with the old harbor freight gravity feed gun, they work great! GL edit: If you decide to do the two-tone later down the road, I'd like to see a light misty blue up top and a dark grey on the bottom

Installing the rad support was easy. It was removing the old and doner one that was a pita. I musta drilled 100 spot welds. I just bolted the spot welds. I am gonna weld later, maybe I may get a couple generations newer rad support and headlights. 
I got an ELECTRIC paint gun. I am not sure how its gonna work. I have free black paint from work so I guess it'll be black for a while.Thanks for positive feedback. A gem I dont know but a vast improvement. I am on hold with this cause I am having fuel pump issues. Yea I had a 95 SE hense the name. That is long gone, in washington state. I always loved s13's SO much better!
