well i miss my other 240 too much and decided to bring this one into the spotlight. I picked this thing up about 4 months ago locally for $200. looks dirty, but the pictures dont do it justice. its from cali and its absolutely rust free. which is a nice change of pace. missin a couple pieces though.. didnt run when i got it. needs paint desperately. but everything comes apart like its new.

Look mom! No rust!THOUGHT i got a rust free 240. that damn battery tray...The Ka that came out of iteww automaticLOL stock exhaust... its pretty nasty in the bay..Found out why... shes actually pretty clean inside after i got the glass outdont mind the starter. or the wiring harness. or the other wiring harness. or the misc bolts and ****...The mystery bucket... dont do what i did more parts and shizthe only damage. aparently it was in a fender bender.. iduno whether to try and straighten it or just buy a new rad support...

thats pretty much it for now. just a sneek peek. once its nice out again ill roll it outside and start up a build thread maybe? we'll see

rust free is the way to be.

oh yeah, the mystery bucket is never a good idea. looks like a nice pickup though, $200 is good sh*t. I'm guessing a manual swap and all that good stuff? good luck, merry christmas

im not lookin forward to sorting that out... ha. but ya. 5 spd swap for sure. i wish i could have gotten under it to take some pics, it looks like it just rolled off the showroom underneath. minus up front where the motor pooped

We should start a club for getting our 240sx's for 200 bucks. Cuz I got mine for 200 bucks too.

But mines in a bit worse shape then yours. but mine runs. hah

ha yea its gonna a fun project. boost of course. but not for a while. i still need to find a decent motor. among body parts, windwhield, 5spd swap. some other shiz. it seems like 240's are either really expensive or really cheap. anybody ever buy one that was "reasonably" priced? lol

what do you guys think about the rad support. fix it or weld a new one on? its kind of hard to tell but the drivers side is pretty mangled
