Oh, and the HUD doesnt work, something about it reading wrong, and the driver side window doesnt work.(power window.needs relay?) and the guy before switched the coupe guages for the hatch guages. Also the owner tried to sand the paint down and spray paint the car black, but idk what happened. Major clean up this weekend is in order!

youve already got unexplicable Orange County Choppers seat covers, but ill let that slide.

maintenance first, good idea. id also suggest some kind of somewhat decent paintjob in the near future, the only thing making that 240 look good is that:

1, its a coupe, and

2, its a piggy

make good progress! take good pictures! post often!

i got a little lucky on mine.

If you're in NY, check this out

so, are you gonna change your user name or what

j/k

goodluck!

Anyways, +1 for a KCMO 240.

I would do the basic maintenace on the car, Take off the ugly *** hubcaps, And then take the car to macco for like $400 you can have an OK paint job. Well your doing that look around for an uncracked dash and some S14 seats, and get alot of elbow grease and the car will have a solid start.

Sure it's not as clean as SOME peoples cars, but $900 for a running/driving 5spd coupe is pretty rare with under 100K miles. So you put in about $1000 and the will be real nice imo.

Then from there it will be all the fun stuff (suspension,wheels,brakes,motor,etc)

IMHO Hatchbacks=Coupes...I love both too much to decide which one I like more.

anyway, congrats on your purchase! sounds like you have your priorities straight and you'll take good care of it! i'm looking forward to seeing progress. also looking forward to seeing a good looking car . it'll happen, i'm sure.

you can fix that up pretty good i'm sure. clean everything up, get some SE wheels, strip the paint and then use rattle can or something to at least make it one color...get some S14 seats and maybe a new dash. i think you'll do just fine man good luck.

i hope so..the only time i've seen a 240 in KC was prolly like 4 times.. and i saw a kouki once, it was red...i almost died.lol

id rattle can it... just so its all one color

check out my part out deal look for a update over thanksgiving break!

lol yeah, i kinda dont know if i should or not...

gloss white if you are gonna rattle, its temp obviously might as well make it shine somewhat.

oh and you dont have a sunroof???

consider yourself lucky, i heard somewhere that slicktop coupes are sort-of rare.

good luck

if its only temporary than just scuff up the paint and spray primer and then the gloss white. Clear is pointless if only temporary. If its going to last a little longer, i would say put some clear on it just to make sure u dont get rust overtime.

GOOD LUCK
its a good start and maintenance is the key, dont cheap out on maintenance
