The begining; lots of pictures

http://www.project240.info/

Hey everyone, I thought I would introduce myself and post a few pics to show my new ride. My name is Rob ant this is my 1992 240sx vert, with original 90,XXX kms, I bought it about a month ago from a guy who already did alot of body work on it for 2 grand, and I also got 2 other 240sx coupes from him as parts cars. So far she is not much to look at, but I plan on pimping her out soon.So far my first mod is getting the Silvia front end,I'm waiting for the 50 mm wider fenders and 50 mm rear corner panels. It already came with the 5 speed manual so thats one thing I don't have to change. My next mods are gonna be an SR20det and upgraded turbo, intercooler, coilovers, rims, and some other engine components. There are other plans in the future but first I'll have to brake my piggybank , lol.

This is how she looked when I bought her





My two other cars 2003 RSX Type S, & 1990 4Runner, and my new girl in the operating room

This is the car now

i'm closer. shipping would be less expensive if you send them to me.

the non-projector lights look sweet.

oh yeah, welcome and thanks for sharing pics.

i think we can make it official: most projects per capita on nico - the vert forum.

^ ha, ha, you guys are funny. So why is it that everyone is after the bricks?? When I bought my front clip the guy who sold it, told me I can choose beetween the bricks or the double projectors, so I went with the bricks to me they look better. I plan on custom fitting HIDS in there though.

I'm not a big Silvia conversion fan but to me the bricks look so much better than the dual projectors for some reason. I think it's a cleaner, more integrated look.

Welcome aboard.
