Car: 93 Vert

Post

Hey guys!

My hatch has pissed me off for the last time so I wanted to try something new. In my attempts to sell/trade my hatch, I got several bogus offers and a LOT of flakey buyers. I wanted a new car but the hatch wasn't selling. I didn't want another 240 until I saw this vert go up for sale. I got the car for only $900 (I still think I kinda over payed) but it only had 2 owners before me and was completely stock, untouched, and in VERY good condition...oh, minus the smashed front end :gapteeth: . Anyways, the guy who owned it before me (and the girl before him) were both GA Tech students so the car was loved but broken into. The top had to be replaced and the rear window is brand new. The interior needs some TLC but what 20 year old car doesn't? It does have a crack-less dash which I was extremely excited to see!

My plans are to 5-speed swap it and leave it stock, UNLESS I can come up with $1500 to swap an RB20 in, then my mind may change, but until then, the car will be stock for a few things. It will NOT be a drift machine :facepalm: . I am a full-time college student so it will be my sexy DD.

Here is my current hatch, which I will be transferring my seats, wheels, suspension, etc into the vert.

And here is the vert the day I picked it up.

As you can kind of see from the first picture, the core support was trashed and some of the drivers side was smashed in. We have cut the majority of the front off and we have a spare 240sx shell we are going to weld onto the vert. Here is some of our process in the tear down.

That was after day 1. We have cut the whole face off so far, I will have photos this weekend as we begin the welding process. I will be sure to keep you guys updated :)

And hell yeah, I am female :dblthumb:

Wow, kudos for saving a vert! Looks like you've got some work ahead of you.

Any plans for exterior mods?

This car looks real familiar. Did you buy it from a guy named Eddie?
