Hello all, just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to everyone and give a quick run down of my car and the plans for it.

This is car number 10 that I've owned in the past five years, and undoubtedly the one that's needed the most work, however it's probably one I've been dying to have for awhile now. It's a 1990 Nissan 240SX SE Hatchback, silver (mostly). It's a KA24E 5spd car, however the engine was torn apart when I bought it and have no idea if it runs or not, so instead of putting it back together and seeing if it runs, I'm most likely going to be selling it to a friend and doing a CA swap instead. I found a pretty good deal on a CA with a 5spd and ECU, so as of right now that's what I'm aiming for. However, the car's been sitting for quite awhile so it needs a good cleaning. I plan on stripping the entire interior and cleaning every inch of it up that I can reach, and try to renew the plastics that came with the car. I actually traded a gaming PC with no graphics card for it, so I'd probably say it was about an $800 deal. Here's the only picture I have of it in my backyard right now.

So I'm very excited to start my childhood dream project, and I'll go into more detail in a build thread when I get ready to start the project. Nice to meet everyone!
