240sx coupe built by a 16yr old?! (Build Thread)

[ScapeOfLegends]

Hi everyone.. Im new here so Let me introduce myself.
MY name is Dylan. Im 16, Yes I said 16. I just got my second car.. Which is going to be my baby, A 240sx coupe. I'm not sure theres anything else to say, So lets get on to it..

Anyways.. I just got what is going to be my First project car. I've done work and stuff on cars but this is going to be mostly new and a challenge to me.(So watch out for a bunch of questions xD) Which sounds like fun, to me at least.

I picked up my car yesterday. Its a '93 240sx coupe. I got it for a decently fair price.

Plans for the car?
I want to make it into a Mix between a Daily and Drift car.
I want to do a 2jz. But We'll see what I end up doing, because that's quite a bit of money already..

On the way home






I ahve a bunch more pictures on my Fb album here:

that thing is gonna need a ton of work. It also looks like someone worked on it previously, with the extended wheel wells which is a popular mod if you're going to use it for drifting. but anyway... Welcome to NICO! There is a ton of knowledge on this forum and A LOT of Nissan geniuses that are really helpful. Hope you can build this car up the way you want to. BTW, where are you located?

Thanks!
No, That's my Girlfriend's, I borrowed it to get the 240. I have a 96 Accord as my Daily Driver

NICE. I used to have a 96 Accord. The e-brake was amazing in it. Tires were also super cheap, and it was good in the snow. It had zero balls, but it was still pretty fun to drive and super reliable.

Welcome im new too and am looking to do the same thing you are. Im thinking SR20Det or LS1. the only reason im considering LS1 is because there is one sitting out front with nothing to do lol. Best of luck to you!
