Well first off ide like to introduce myself...Some of you may remember 240sxJoe91
( A.K.A. Joey ) well that's me I forgot the password i used to the e-mail for that acc so i had to make a new acc. This is strictly a place to keep what Ive done to my car and update it and share with you guys...After searching for 4 month's I found this 240sx back in late September of 09. It had some body work that needed to be done but hey what the heck whats a 240 without some body work. I didn't care at all lol. So me and my dad went down. ( I was only 17, ill be 18 in may ) and looked at it. NO RUST!!!! and it ran pretty good. It only had 138k miles on it :chuckle: . I ended up paying him $1100 cash for it right there on the spot ( spent all the money I had made that summer doing yard work.) I was so happy I had bought my first car.( Another plus was that it wasn't beat on because an older woman owned it.) Here are some pics of it the day i got it home. It still had his tags on it. I pretty much parked it ran inside and got the camera lol. :lolling: ( yea to excited )

I actually thought for a minute or two whether your name ended in 91 or 92 before clicking this thread haha. How's your exhaust holding up? No leaks or anything? I think it was you with the ebay exhaust that I liked. You decide what you're gonna do about that quarter panel?

Alright so time to continue...I drove it around town like this for a while..Then one rainy day i was sitting on the forum looking at some ones update and they had done some body work..I was like you know what im just going to go out and try and pop it out...what could i hurt?i mean its not like there was a 4in deep dent in the side :gotme . So i backed the rear of the car into the garage and went at it..
Backed it in ( garage wasn't clean at this point lol )
Image
Image
Eww ugly dent :inout:
Image
Image
So i took a scissor jack and a hair dryer ( the hair dryer didn't work well lol )
Starting to come a little here
Image
Im getting excited at this point lol...you can see the scissor jack and hair dryer sitting on the cooler.
Image

looks alot better than having a crater in the side of my car... :yesnod
Ok so you can see how much better it looks from far away, Yea i know 4x4 :nono: ( will be fixed soon ) :naughty:

well, good job on the dent popping. If you ever decide to paint it you could just pop out what more you can of the dent (getting as close as you can) then bondo the little imperfections and it will turn out like new. you want the least amount of bondo as possible.

good luck !
