1993 nissan 240sxDo-Luck body kit, Drag rims w/ fresh tires,Rebuild ka24de 3,000 miles Automatic. $2500System: All pioneer setup- 2x12inch boxed sub's,1200watt amp,pioneer head.First night.The prevous owner treated this car like a ash tray, it is disgusting, it smells like a ashtray, the carpet is dirty as s***, stinks bad, i found water in the trunk(didnt see it the first night). Second day i put the car in my garage and started working on it. Got the water out and simple quick clean. (it was just not water i called him and asked second day he said he had spilled something and there was fluid bottles there.. not just bottles but cig. buds, ash ,trash,change.. All thrown away.A better cleanThird day, sand papered, brake cleaner used to clean it up,used silicone to seal any leaks possible,one coat of prime, 3 coats of white & gloss.(Im planning on painting the fuel pump cover black)Before this process i have stripped out the interior except for the carpet and dash. (did more on the sides just didn't take a picture of ) All the seats are leather and torn up. I really hate when i strip a screw (was trying to get side skirts off)No curb damage, fresh wheels & tires.Plans so far are to completely strip out the interior and fix the rust and repaint white & add the black carpet, the seats back (have leather covers for the front) the rear i will need to find. After i get my interior finished i will get a 5 speed conversion & end up boosting her.The body i will repaint it , add tint , rewire before adding the carpet. If you got any parts for sale.. let me know im always interested.

Right now shes in the garage and theres parts all over the garage including behind the car & under & on top .& I am planning on keeping the do-luck body kit just not the rear clip ons.. Oh i did drain my battery by listening to the radio.. Heh. I also want to change the steering wheel the guy used to pick at it and just taped it with wire tap so it feels like s*** now. The odometer the original light is gone he added some blue led behind it and does not show good so either i look at it closer and try to make it show better or just try to find that old light wire i think i found it but not sure. Also half the screws and bolts are missing! I have bought allot of them to fill the missing ones in! Cant wait to have her street ready Oh yeah the interior carpet the second day, i lifted it a bit to see if it was wet under and it was.. so who knows how it looks under the carpet.. Tommo i'll have it completely stripped out except for the dash.. i just do not wanna mess with it now. I will take a picture of the trunk tommo morning when sun is up thats when my camera phone works best! Thanks for the positive feedback.
