Alright guys its been a long time since the last time that I've posted. I have some pretty decend updates, but nothing like a new motor swap or anything like I'de like it to be, which will come eventually lol. It's pretty haggard at this point in its life but it has to get worse before it gets better. So here we go with the update... First off afew months ago I did this..
( Lots of pics btw )
Before...





Love working on body work until 2 A.M in the morning....Great time haha
I should have put that window up I feel like I still get out of my car with bondo shavings on me lol..





Here is how it turned out...Pretty decent IMO but not perfect...


Then I came across a great deal on craigslist... Perfect Condition and $300 later, ready to plug in...



When it gets alittle warmer out I need to rewire them, Whoever did it did a terrible job....




Most recently I got a pignose lip...




More updates to come...

[240sxjoe92]

Small update guys... No pics sorry. Just ordered some Megan street coilovers, finally starting to make some progress. Hope they will be here within the next 2 weeks. Comments are welcome

^ this.

mine is 6 colors and counting dont feel bad

[240sxjoe92]

Yea atleast its kinda close in colors.... not as bad as when i had my red fender.. Just cant wait for my coilovers and inner and outter tie rods to get here.

[240sxjoe92]

Alright guys got the coilovers, inner and outter tie rods and brakes all the way around on 2 weeks ago, havent been able to update my thread but its finally time.
Coilovers- Megan Streets
Tie Rods- Tien Inner and outter
Brakes- Oem replacements ( for now )
Here are some pics, I dont have any of the install because I had forgotten my camera..




Coilovers on and adjusted...excuse the dirtyness










My buddy Dustin helped me out... Here is his Vw Passat Vr6 wagon on coilovers...

And here is a Ek hatch that he got for $200 bucks on coilovers with 141k miles on it and still runs needs body work..........Bad lol!


Next on the list is wheels, saving for a Sr, almost there
Comments are welcome. Thanks guys....

Going to attempt to paint all the primer spots on my car this weekend to try and match the oem paint...

[badbob2121]

With paint and some wheels this would look great!

[240sxjoe92]

It is a work in progress looking for wheels now. Hoping to get paint tied in pretty close for the time being.

[240sxjoe92]

Alright guys another update Im actually starting to get some stuff done which feels really good. Was sick and tired of looking at primer. So I got some paint from a place that takes your oem paint code and puts it in a can. Its not perfect considering that all the other paint is 20 years old but it will do for now. I still have to do the front bumper and the rear bumper. I wish I had baught enough to do the whole car.
I did the rear driver side qp both front fenders and the hatch...
.. Oh well on to the pics....








Still need to wetsand and buff it, Its way better than driving a half primerd car around...
Now I need some wheels and an Sr swap and this thing might actually be going somewhere.... Thanks guys

[240sxjoe92]

Pulling it in the garage to do the front bumper tonight its really nice out but super windy so i cant do it outside..
Whats a really good place to buy a Sr swap btw im looking into it right now.... finally ready.
Thanks guys comments welcome

looks good!! that spray paint actually looks real good. was it pricey for it? like bad bob said, wheels will really make that car. an sr swap is sweet but go for some wheels first! not good to have more power and still run stock width rims/tires.

[240sxjoe92]

Hey man thanks! It was about 15 to 20 bucks a can, expensive but it looks alot better than primer. I am looking into wheels but am leaning more towards an Sr at the moment.. Still dont know where I should buy from...

[badbob2121]

JDMhookup is a legit company here in st louis, but a used motor is a used motor. Your taking a gamble either way.

Try finding one locally ..

[240sxjoe92]

Thanks Bob my buddy told me about a company around me http://www.japaneseengineimport.com/engines/nissan/ I'm sure they are legit... Thanks guys.
