Still have been unable to find myself a 240sx to put in my garage and was wondering if anyone on NICO would care to throw out an opinion on this one

I live close enough for a cheap tow and I contacted the seller about the title and he informed me the title is clear. Thanks!

I'd say if you're looking for a project car, go for it. As long as it doesn't have any rust.

I would keep looking if i were you, i mean it's very low-priced but it is priced that low for a reason. The engine is going out, eats a lot of gas, has rust on multiple parts of car, kits look horrible (condition, fitment, and style-wise), needs tires, and theres not even any interior shots. This looks like it will be a LOT of work, but if you want a money-sucking time-consuming project i guess it would do...?

I left out that I visited the car in person and that the only serious rust was on the rear quarter panel, where the individual kind of painted over it, and in the trunk where the spoiler holes had been. The frame rails and strut towers were virtually rust free. Interior was in great shape. Un-cracked dash, seats unstained, nothing noticeably bad out of place except there was no radio. Also, this would be a long, long term project, most people here could do a RHD conversion and RB swap before I manged an oil change. Thanks again.

go for it, good learning experience and you have the 240 bible that is nico to help you out. if you can get it on the cheap side, you can always bail out and break even by parting out or selling as-is to someone else.
