This would be my second 240sx

Post by **rsagen** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 9:50 pm

Ok I bought my first 240sx (1989) back last Apirl or so. It has a sandy color, (light brown). I wanted to make this my project car, but also my daily driver. I started to understand slowly that this car was too rusty (has holes on the underside of the car). So I started looking for a second car to get ahold of. Being in highschool, and the price of these cars dont come cheap, i didnt think it would happen. However, I think I found gold. Check out the ad on Kijiji http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-ca...77433 Could this be the second 240sx I own? Tell me your guys input. Im going to get it tomarrow anyway

link didn't work for me either. all i can say is i made the mistake too of not looking for any underbody rust as my s13 (1990) was my first older car. sadly we have both learned our lessons. check the car for any sort of rust and good luck

Serious? You might want to locate an un-smashed, not rusted s13

If you can lower the price to maybe $150 i would say good deal.

well anyways I brought the car home today. the only thing wrong is the front end was pushed in 3 inches, (just enough to push the rad into the fan. but the pullys and the motor are good)

Unless of course you are gonna use it as a parts car, then its OK.But as is that car is a piece of trash, needs to be parted out then crushed.Let it die with dignity atleast.

I actually bought the car as a parts car. But then I put gas in her and she fired right up. and other then the front end shes the cleanest 240sx i seen in real life. and i enjoy taking a car I bought for couple hundred, and makin it work.

I see unibody flex.

Good luck ever getting it aligned ever again...

Post by **rsagen** » Sat Nov 07, 2009 12:52 pm

do you think its not aligned? In person it looks straight. anyways the front tires are still straight and solid. The car didnt really take too much damage. it was mostly the front bumper and the hood that got it.

You wont know until you get it on a rack. But adjustable arms are good for this reason as well.

Torn down it snot horrible, but I don't like the shock tower being buckeled. Are you trying to find someone to cut the front clip for you?

Post by **rsagen** » Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:25 pm

I know a guy thats going to cut one for me, then I cut off mine and spot weld his on mine. But im no expert at it.
