I don't need to see a picture to tell you that your car rocks as long as your driving it. A female in the drivers seat of a 240sx always adds points to the "profile" of the car!

Spoke too soon. Now I see photos. Your car looks just fine as a starting point to an awesome machine. You have to start somewhere and your car looks to be in great shape on the exterior. Add some parts and mods and you've got yourself an original. Enjoy it! I need to update my photos as my Zenki looks totally different now.

Someone appears to have put a ridiculous body kit on it to make it look like an S14, how tragic.

They're not the best looking rims, nor are they an eye sore, imho. Don't rice your 240. Save and save, g/l w/ the build.

I actually like the wheels. OEM Mustang right? They're probably better wheels than a lot of the aftermarket pieces.

yeah OEM Mustang, they came with the car I pulled the engine out of so I guess they are better than stock. I was looking at some black 18" axis wheels with the chrome lip. What do you guys think??

Car looks really clean, I'm not a big fan of those axis though. Look into some MB Battles (if you can find them) or some MB weapons, best wheels for the price IMO.

Very nice, cept the wheels. Have any interior shots? Is it auto or 5spd? The world needs more female 240 drivers haha i need to meet one. Good Luck with the build you've got a very clean looking base to build up from, keep us posted.

Is that your lift/can you use that whenever you want? Thats pretty bi***in, and you've got enough tires to last you awhile too =). Is this going to be your daily driveror you going to build it up and drive something else in the meantime?

its a nice strait body, a good starting point for any project. just remember to take every comment with a grain of salt once you start modding the car because you will be building into your dream car and it doesnt matter what others think if its what you want and like. everyone gives me crap because i want to paint my car purple but its what i want. good luck with the build of the car.
