bought yet another 240

[moulton712]

i couldn't pass this offer up. i live in maine where rust plagues 240's. well i found a rust free 90 hatch. $500 with a blown head gasket. it's 5sp with 85,000 on the chassis. well i'm in luck cause i can pull a dohc motor from a rotted car i have. plans will be to make this my track car, dohc ka-t, body kit, rims, coilovers, cage, racing seats, steering wheel, alm driveshaft, 2 way diff, add support everywhere, blah blah blah... plan to be done by spring. i know you guys are going to kill me. btw i have 4 coupes 2 at my house and two at my shop, and this is my first hatch.





look at this bushing

[Justin35ll]

Looks like you found yourself a nice buy. Good luck with it and your future plans.What are you doing with 4 coupes? lol give me one

[lunatyk]

Wow that is amazing clean. You should get a s14 next

[White Comet]

wow, the paint is great looking, i paid less for my 90 shell ($300) but yours has less miles( i have 91k miles) .

impressive underbody as well

[livinglegend2100]

nice find man. should be a clean, some-what hassle free project with a chassis like that.

ill trade you my hatch for one of your coupes

[moulton712]

Wow that is amazing clean. You should get a s14 next

well i have a ton of parts for the s13 that i can bolt right on. i would love an s14 but then i would have to start fresh with alot of expensive parts.

i got screwed out of spending $250 on this one, but i'm still perfectly happy with it. to be honest i would have spent up to $1500 for such a rust free shell.

naw, i love coupes. i just couldn't pass this car up.

it will be alot of work to get this car where i want it. i just ordered $200 in metal, but i'll probably need more.

[moulton712]

a little update.







dry ice



wires



pretty much taking everything off this car



motor coming out tues night



i started to take the seam sealer off. i'm planning to stitch/spot weld the whole car.

good stuff comming

[leesredgt]

can i haz the pignose bumper and fenders?

[zerodameaon]

Nice Deal. Which one was the rotter? the white one?

[Coeur de lion]

What the heck!?Where did you find that??1I live in NHI've been searching throughout New England for another hatch

[okinawa drift]

whats the dry ice for?

[RFcool]

whats the dry ice for?

yeah what he said....

[SirSilvia]

to remove that hard tacky tar crap from the body, it hardens it more so it's easier to chizle out

[S13Joe]

yeah looks like a nice find. and trade me one of your coupes for my hatch. NOW

[240sineachhand]

Dry ice is good for anything sticky and gooey like sound deadeners and the like. Throw a bit on and get a plastic scraper and go to town!

Good buy by the way!

[blkhatch97]

everyone finds these smoking deals but me. Have fun with your project.

[andy107]

wow nice 240! low miles, rust free, clean all for 500. I almost got a s13 convertible for 100 bucks but the dude sold it to the junk yard and now the yard wants and arm and a leg for it.

[hazer396]

i noticed that ppl always buy S13s..i think S14s are teh best FTW

butif i had a S14 already.. id prolly get a hatch

[White Comet]

well a lot of people get s13s cuz you can find them rust free with 85k miles for $500. trying finding an s14 for that

[moulton712]

so a little update. i've been busy building this car and i changed a lot of plans.

fully stripped every nut and bolt off the car. and rebuilt. still not done. some friends and i just put the motor in last night.



learned how to weld, and tack welded everything





built my own power brace and other braces









picked up an sr20



some friends and i put in 264-272 BC cams, BC valve springs, valve seals, 550 cc inj



heat wrapped the mani and cleaned everything



i learned how to shoot paint out of a gun



replaced a crap ton of bushings



still waiting on the other 2 rear sus components. even have braided brake lines in there.



black interior



my friend built me a seat bracket.





filled and welded nismo motor mounts



installed exedy stage 2 clutch, and some other goodies in. just dropped the motor in last night



valve cover and pulleys came in this morning from powdercoat.

[White Comet]

looks really good. you should produce a few of those bars and sell em in the fabricators market. i'd by the fender brace.

[xrproto07]

Dang it's coming out really nice bro

What are the plan's for the car??

[urcaptnspeaking]

valve cover "swirl job" is pretty original. I dig it.

[moulton712]

thanks guys. i plan to build it first, then see where it takes me.

[kainvamp]

wow looks like this project is going great! that valve cover is sick

[koukis4teen]

Looking at those welds it would appear you took good notes in shop class. awesome build dude looks great.

thanks, i actually didn't take a class, a buddy taught me. i watched him weld for about 30 min and then took the welder from him. then i welded the rest of the car. anything related to safety, such as the seat bracket and rails, i handed over.

i did get the other two rear suspension arms today!! my friend scott installed them, but i'm going new bolt hunting tomorrow cause the stock ones are not going to cut it.





also re-pulled the rear diff, my friend jeremy installed my high pressure power steering line. and i was focusing on wiring and other things.

i plan on running a welded diff for the initial build the the next thing i save for would be a 2 way.

i'm building the whole car's wire harness from scratch. i already have the back harness built and ran, just need to hook it up.

i do plan on fabbing a 4 pt roll cage with diagonals and seat harness bar.
