Yes, this is GENCHAT material right here, it's not 240sx related at all.

This is how I got the car from a member of my local forum, and since then, I've done a little bit to make it Maverick Approved haha.

ON WITH THE PICS!



After driving all the way home from Quantico, VA, I took it straight to the garage.I had to make it all one color just temporarily, and fix all the body panels that were pretty beat in.



Here's the semi-finished product from the Sunday when I bought the car. This picture was taken Monday afternoon, as you can see, I ran out of paint. I drove around like this for a week. And couldn't do it anymore.



The friday after I bought the car, I decided not to roll around stock anymore.

Saturday, we began pulling the motor for something smaller(displacement-wise)



Just after this picture, I began prepping the engine bay because it was absolutely hideous.



Here's what we ended up with, my phone didn't upload all the pictures for some reason, so that's why there is so few pictures, yes, there was overspray all over the car, but I got every little speck of overspray off of it.



Money shot of the finished car with the RB20.

It's the motor out of your coupe. It took a s*** on me today. Whoever wired up your motor is a complete dumbass, and f***ed everything up, they wired the MAF and SAFC so incorrectly, that's why it was NEVER running right.
