MS's 240sx/s13 rebuild. Updated!!! lot of pic!!

[superman29]

I just bought an s13 this winter to start a project. i like the style of this car, espacialy the s13, and its RWD! drift is coming:P

This is the car :so i got my 240 with many parts. It has a lot of work to do but its a good way to learn and the frame is in good shape, it's rare here in qc with the strong winter to find a 240sx in good shape.

give me your comment and suggestion

Your english isn't bad. The way you use adjectives is the main thing that caught my attention. I'm not complaining, though. I was definitely able to understand what you were typing, and you spell better than half of the high school kids that primarily speak english. After I typed the original message, I saw where you were from and figured French was it. Either way, we're glad to have you here, and I'm liking the project. I do recommend you get a spark plug cover for that engine. It would definitely make it look a lot better.
