im new at the forum, please be paitent. OK, a brief history on the car. A few months ago, I bought a 95 240. there were a few things wrong, the engine was "blown" supposedly, but in fact the timing chain follower was in the oil pan… lol. So the motor has been completely rebuilt from the crank up. The engine internals looked good, but changed the pistons anyway. Cleaned the engine up, Put it back together with a “complete” rebuild kit. Dropped the motor in on Saturday, and she fired right up. So soon comes intake/exhaust and some others, eventually wanna go KA-T, but that’s gonna be awhile. My next focus will be the body. The guy I got the car from attempted to try the S15 front end conversion and failed. It’s a total abortion. The hood/bumper/lights all seem like they would fit right if they weren’t held up by zip ties, but the fenders. Ahhh the fenders are hideous. I don’t even know if they are the right ones. If there is anyone in the Modesto area or central valley with this conversion that wouldnt mind me looking at theirs as an example, or answer a few questions, it would be greatly appreciated. Anything will help. Thanks…..
