i recently just bought my 2nd 240sx from an old man who just decided to stop driving it. My first 240sx unfortunately was totaled in an accident about 3 years ago
#and have been in search for another one ever since . My 2nd 240sx had been sitting in his driveway for about 4-5 years without starting it up occasionally and has about 200k miles on it. (Before he had let it sit he had basic maintenance done to it including the water pump, fuel pump plugs wires etc...) As all 240sx owners know unfortunately too well the first thing i did was look underneath it for any signs of rust on the frame rails. NONE! there was minor rot behind the front tires on the engine bay but nothing that couldnt be welded up and fixed. The first things on my to do list was obv change the oil and give it another full tune up and just like that she started right up like a champ no issues at all. I just registered it and got it back on the road and have been occasionally driving it around town just to ease her back onto the road. A few things that I am starting to notice is..1) the radio light up, but wont turn on.
2)and the driver side seat belt retracts FWD and back when it wants to
I want to eventually build her up into a beast but for now i just want to get it back to a daily driver condition until the funds are available for bigger things. I will need little things such as a new driver seat, passanger side mirror glass and rear plate lights as of right now. Im pretty much just looking for some advice or any opinions at this point on how to move foward with her without causing any damage and preventative measure since it is an older car with a lot of miles. everything and i mean everything is completely stock and has never been in an accident lol for a car that has just started for the first time in 5 years shes runs pretty smooth. this is my new baby and i plan on treating her that way untill the time is right but like i said any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..
