Well, I picked up another 240. I couldn't help it, I really wanted a car to drive while I tear my coupe apart to rebuild during off season.

I bought this car for $1400, from the original owner. It's an SE model, and everything works. Amazing.

The owner said he named it Lucy, so Lucy it is!













Factory luggage straps?? Wowza.



Are those what I think they are?



Yessir, factory tire chalks.

So I already have a lot planned for it, but nothing for the immediate future. I just need it to get me from A to B while I dump all of my cash into my other hunk of junk...

That is all.

No, you read correctly. Two hundred per month.

The only reason I got money for this car was because I sold off my other black hatch.

I'm guessing there's some sarcasm in that answer.

Nice hatch Teddy! Clean too. How many miles on Lucy? $1400 is a pretty good deal for a hatch in CA.

Btw, looks like your coupe needs a new hood. I got a fiberglass one if you're interested. Idk how it's gonna get there though.

Anyways nice buy.

No rust at all. Not even under the wing. At least, from what I can tell.

Hellz yeah it's gonna be another money pit!!! I can't wait to start!

I forsee full Kouki aero all the way around and some sexy negative offset wheels in the future. Mmm.

Lucy has 175xxx miles. And $1400 is a damn good deal for an unmolested SE hatch with every option from the factory.

As for the hood, I'm getting all of my parts from D-MAX. Thanks though.

So true. I still only have my first one but I definitely have plans to get more in the future. Eventually I want to get an S13 coupe and convert it to a Silvia front end and then get another S14 Zenki and have it all white and drop in an SR (in contrast to my current black one which also has a lot on the odometer and a KA). A Kouki S14 would be interesting somewhere down the line too. If I could find a cheap hatch I'd definitely consider picking it up as well. lol I sound like a kid in a candy shop.

I really wanted a Skyline a while back and while it still would be pretty sweet, 240s are definitely enough to keep me occupied. I imagine I'll go through a whole bunch of them over my lifetime. I just look at other cars, at least in the price range, and I'm not really interested. Gotta love 240s.
