[240sxJoe91]

Yea i found it in washington dc the guy wanted 1300 i offered 900 but he didnt take and i was like im not gonna walk away from this so offered 200 more and he took...

it seems some people have it all >_<.. hah jk.. i would kill for a garage right now hahah

Ha i dont lol, 17 years old and bought it myself, And i had to clean the stupid garage lol oh well thanks for the support guys.

Is there a way to subscribe to a thread? With me being a year younger than you (16) I want to see a build thread from the start from someone my age too. This thread has potential because all the pics so keep it that way haha.

Not sure if you can or not but just go to your watched topics and itll be there...Thanks for the support

Sounds like all the f**kin a**holes around here. "V8's have alot of horsepower from the factory," and I'm like, "Yea? Can you put alot of performance parts on that 'V8' and still get around 28+ MPG? No? Then STFU and get out of my face.'' F**kin redneck hill billys, and inbred bastards.

Psst 2010 Camaro SS 16/25MPG EPA 2009 Corvette Base 16/262010 Z06 Meh 15/24 2010 Mustang GT 16/242009 Challenger 5.7 16/252009 Challenger SRT8 13/221998 240sx 19/26

So yeah still burn gas, but the 300-500hp V8's have made huge improvements.

By the way OP, clean car don't worry about the dents, its a first car.

[240sxJoe91]

Hey thanks...Yea i know about the dents but I'd like to clean it up abit because i want to paint it. Probably going to either stay with the Grey, go black, primer black or white....Don't really want white but it looks good.. More or less looking into the stock Grey and black/primer black..But thanks for your op

[MyNISMO314]

I am not trying to rain on you parady op but I got my 240 with no body damage a clean interior with 134,xxx on the drivetrain, and it the SE same as yours for $650 in Califonia. so yes you did get a good deal I just hope you dont have rust ir not than sweet cause you paint is a bit better than mine and you have a wingless hatch mine has the wing hatch with no wing lol any way nice car and before you bondo that body do some hammering on it first get the body with in like 1/8th of an inch for best bondo results because down the road you dont want the dreaded bondo cracks in your nice paint job. good luck with the car.

STFU man you're always trying to rain on somebodies s*** around here...so the f*** what you got your 240 for $650 i got mine for $200 cuz it had a f***ed up rear bumper...OP nice car and if i were you i would pull out the dent more the best i could and just sand it down buy some rust fighting primer and buy rear overlays because i know in the future you will want some and bondo ehh not your good friend but thats just my opinion and for $1100 not a bad deal at all post some interior pics

Haha finally a little update...My photo bucket isn't working so i had to figure out how to use flickr..but enough of that..So Yesterday i removed the rear interior of my car and checked for rust... [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] At this point i was freaking out lol didn't know if it was rust but i wiped it down and look at it now..Its got a little rust but its a easy fix [IMG][/IMG] I also stuck the camera back in to where the qp dent is [IMG][/IMG] In this hole... Ok well its not a pretty site but i think i can get into the wheel well and hammer that out [IMG][/IMG] Closer pic [IMG][/IMG] Yea i know there's some rust back in there but im going to take care of that when i do the body work. I also got on the ground and took some pics of the frame. [IMG][/IMG] Ha you can see my leg in this one [IMG][/IMG] Well that's pretty much the update as of now...Thanks guys more to come soon.

[bersh240]

y not just get overfenders?thats what i would do.and nice lamp.

[240sxJoe91]

Not sure haven't really looked into them yet..And my brother bought that lamp its so ugly, that's why its in the garage, i broke my drop light

[S13k]

i remember when i had a qp dent, i stuck a flat football in there and pumped it up, worked pretty good

[hbpignosePA]

those rails look solid as hell

[CrC SIL80]

clean car just that dent my car has a dent too its annoying bro i know how u feel

[usdm_anon]

u know u could just make both sides symmetrical, just kick a dent in on the otherside

j/k i would never do that to a 240

[240sxJoe91]

Lol thanks guys...yea my car may have some cosmetics that need to be done..But she runs pretty good and the rails are amazing when i saw the rails when i went to look at buying it that helped a lot brought back the doubts i had because of the dent but i was like that's fixable but yea the rails are in great shape

[s13_pinoy]

Wow $1,100 dollars... that's a hell of a deal. That car has a lot of potential, and at least it was gray not a 90's maroon color like mine. I agree that overfenders would probably be the easiest way out of that one. And they're probably a lot cheaper.

[240sxJoe91]

Thanks, i have some pretty big plans for it once i get a better job...

[NicUzumaki]

I've done my share of bondo and sanding and all the junka trick that really helps is have some one gently but with some firmnesstap around the area of the dent with a rubber mallet for a few minutes, or do it yourself then work quick but this actually starts heating the metalthrough friction, long story short tapping the dented area with a rubber mallet makes it easier to remove your dents

best of luck

[Noxy]

Hmm. This thread is exactly what im going through with my 93 coupe, but i don't have a garage and it's gettin cold...

[93240hatch]

This looks like its coming along really well. I just picked one up today that is the same color and has a big dent on the rear qp where someone backed into it. But I'm not trying to fix mine, im parting it out.

[240sxJoe91]

Oh how big is the dent?....Lol sell me your front fender extender..Just kidding thanks man

[93240hatch]

there is a picture of it on the thread i created. and if you want it its yours, i just need the passenger one for my car.

[240sxJoe91]

Sweet....it would have to be shipped though..Lol your in il and im in maryland how would we do that? And yea i posted the same thing on your thread : }

[93240hatch]

the flat rate boxes from the USPS would work.

[240sxJoe91]

Ok how much would you charge me for it?

[93240hatch]

not entirely sure. throw me an offer.
