Fixing my new salvaged 240sx

[edwinS13]

ok so this is my second 240sx and i bought it salvaged due to the fact that it was rear ended....long story short the chassis is bent, so my solution is to attatch a chain from a tree to the car and pull the rear back into shape....hopefully, well i wanted opinions or just people that have done this sort ofthing...thanks here are some pics of the car

Just buy a shell thats in good shape and swap everything into it.

overfenders

[janda240sx]

Over fenders won't help everything. If its salvaged and he wants to drive it on the street then its got to be inspected before it can be insured, so the chasis damage has to be fixed.

nice find gl with it.....is your other 240 comming along nicely yet?

get a new shell or take a shop to get pulled right. Ull never get the frame straight with a tree. You'll make it even worse and nothing will align or fit right. Best to leave it as is. try and look around and see how much it will cost. Shouldnt be too much if u take everything off.

thats exactly what i was thinking at first but then my dad thought like the overfender guy, and he was kind of convincing me...well the DMV told me that the car just needed a light and brake inspection, i paid off all the registration stuff so its good to go...btw it runs better than my last one, but im not sure what to do because a shop is really pricey, so maybe i will go with a quick fix of pulling the body enough so it can look good, drop it, tint then re-sell it and make some profit

do it the way the "drift tax" is you can probably get pretty good amount for it

yes but i dont feel like keeping this one...i just bought it because it was a steal, im just gonna try the best for this thing to look good then re-sell to get good cash for my next 240

[MeanGreenS13]

thats crooked... im sorry.

that is going to be pretty hard to pull.

[edwinS13]

yes i know but i like challenges im going to get it looking pretty straight then ill slap on overfenders, paint those and DROP it or slam it

[edwinS13]

WELL update on the pulling the damage using a chain, tree, and a couple rpm's......DISASTER!!!!

na just kiddin' this is what i did today....very glad i did it....mexican style lol

i thought that maybe this wouldnt be so safe so i went with hooking the chain to the toe hook....you cant see it its under there..

so i gave it a pull but the tires would just skid on the grass....so my dad said "dale mijo dale!!!" which in english that is "rub it son rub it!!!" so i did....i hit reverse and then put in on 1st and gave it a hit....did this for a while and....

thats the toe hook, you can see it now!!!

compare and contrast...sweet....

[tramp_drift240]

still jacked, though

[edwinS13]

yea but compared to the way it was before, im gonna slap on the bumper tomorrow, but im waiting for my new bumper...then do some zip tie magic
