[crccustoms]

I'm finally starting my build, its a 1989 Nissan 240sx hb, im going with an RB25 and my goal is to build a one off show car, to demonstrate my companies abilities, this project is personally financed and pretty much everything is being done in house, im gonna have a fairly extensive write up once its done showing the car step by step with a ton of pictures!! but here is a list of ideas we compiled while brainstorming

s15 front convohood mod where the hood opens by the cowl and hinges at the front of the carcompletely smoothed firewall and relocation of the brake lineslambo door convoshaving the bodyline, rear window sprayer, door handles, hatch lock, 3rd brake light and the reflector between the tailights, and antennafuel door conversion (www.fueldoors.com-fitting round door to the body)full undercar lighting including light in the wheel wells and in the coilover suspensionstrut braces300zx master cylinder w/ q45 brake swap300zx lsd

The engine build will be covered in the RB20 / RB25 / RB26 Forum

the interior will be completely redone as to my car doesnt have anything in it!Full fiberglass interior, some tucked in leather, most finished with paintelectronics include2 12" comp cvr subwoofers4 6.25" speakers2 4.25" speakers2 6x9" speakers1 1000watt dual channel amp1 600 4 channel ampcd receiver17" monitor8" touchscreen monitormini atx computer for media storage, music, videos, and controller for lightsrear seat isnt going back inracing seats to match interiorcomplete gauge setsteering wheel

probably still more, but thats we wrote down today, any comments, suggestions, recommended parts, anything you know thats better than what we have planned, post it here, this is gonna be a hell of a project and right now theres only 2 of us working on it, i bought the car with a ton of parts in it, had a complete 5 lug swap from the 95 se model just sitting in there, mostly everything has sold, still have some stuff, anything that is getting replaced i probaly am selling so anything stock you need that i have ill sell to you cheap as its better for me than to just throw away, and finally my aim screenname is c2cahoon and here soon ill have a website up, im waiting on my host to approve everything!!!

i got the body completely stripped and had it measured on the frame rack, and it was twisted by 3 mm, i pulled it back square, and started to cut out any rust and repair it with sheet metal, i also coated the rear underside and spare tire area with truck bed coating and then rubberized undercoating to make it nearly soundproof, i have been working from the rear to the front, and haven't really ran into any surprises yet... i also got my s15 parts in and have mocked them up and am sending the fenders to a friend to have copies made out of fiberglass incase of any repairs needed i have cheap replacements my headlights came with a ballast kit, they are a bluish purple, im gonna try to get pics up sometime next week. looked at an RB too, it had water damage to cylinder #4 and was wrecked, also sending my suspension arms to be powdercoated in a chrome like color and gonna pick up a set of calipers to have coated in candy orange anodized.. ill post my next set of updates when i get there, till then thanks for the support

get some pics ! =] this sounds sweet!!

sorry guys i havent been able to work on this in a while, i had to move from my apartment losing access to my garage so lately ive just been saving my money to try and get a house with a garage or a building to work on it, nothing has been done other than me selling almost every OEM part so it brings my total cost of the car to $50!! also io just bought a camera so i might take a drive back out there and take some pics if gas comes down in price anytime soon

YEAH man I heard the S15 front end conv isn't an easy fit that and the cost of the kit was considering it but then went with a easy fitmen for me to do first time molding
