first car

[Dr.feelgood]

I just got a 89 Nissan 240sx hb for $600 from a guy off Craiglist the paint is fading got teardrop rims the timing is off by a little runs but because of timing it has no power i plan on it being my dd and track car once i get a job and can start putting money into it. The body has some dents no rust except for some surface rust where the spare tire would be first day i got i started to gut it and it had a massive ant infestion due to the car sitting for a year or so. has no power steering because the previous owner took it out and also no ac. i will post pics when i get home

good luck with it. just remember when gutting it to try and put it back together right nothing sucks more than a gutted car that you have to drive around with for a while.

My first was an '85 Thunderbird (Also V6, being a 302). Wasn't in any wrecks, but had a bad engine that leaked oil due to the rings being bad. I would stop at a redlight or stopsign and there would be smoke going everywhere from the engine..plenty of times I've seen people roll up their windows in the deadheat of summer just cause of my car's smoking lol. At least it was white with fat tires.

Then my second car was, and still is, my baby: A hatchback 1990 240. I also have a 1995 240, and I hate that thing..hoping I can sell it soon and get some work done on my 1990. Pretty much need a new engine on it as one of the heads is bad.

hahahaha yeah i hate those cars with a passion.. after a year i got a 95 for ranger.. nothing special just clean inside, low miles n a/c.. and the thunderbird met its dooom after that.. took it 2 a friends dirt bike track and built some ramps for it and brove the s*** out of it.. got ran over by a lifted truck.. then shot at with guns... days later set on fire hahahaha fuuuuun s***!

[Dr.feelgood]

sorry it took so long to get pics up but here they are


piggy!!!!!!!








i put tape cause the guy i bought it from took the wing off and didnt put anything to cover the holes cause they let water in




the guy before me also took the power steering off and sealed it



took the cluster out and the things that hold all of the buttons cant think of what its called but when i took it off these where not connected to anything does anyone know what there supposed to be plugged into or what plugs they are

[badbob2121]

take care of that rust asap

otherwise it doesnt look like anything that cant be fixed by yourself

[Dr.feelgood]

yeah i started sanding it a little today

[justin s]

still man.. 600 bucks for a s13

takin care of rust aint s*** maaaaaaan

[Dr.feelgood]

got some new rims today from a junkyard there koing for $150 with good tires





does anyone know what kind of koings these are

[justin s]

badass for 150!!!

[Dr.feelgood]

badass for 150!!!

hell yeah i found out that the rims are konig villians and go for 150 a rim so i got a super good deal

[sm0611]

if the only rust thats in the car is whats in the trunk that doesnt look bad at all. Looks like a bunch of surface rust. get that cleaned up man!

[justin s]

hey i know someone else that just picked up a s13..and it had a wrecked front end and het found a front end at a junk yard n its the same as yours... he was telling me that, that pig nose front end is rare.. and more exspensive than the normal front end..

idk if he was feeding me a line of bs or what! BUT i noticed u had the same pig nose front end and i thought id just throw that out there
