Well a little intro is in order. Im Mario 19 years old and im new here....... thats about it Bought my 240sx this tuesday and i loves it The odometer says it has 83000 but i think thats payed $2,000. Im planning on doing as much work as i can myself but im gonna have to pass some of the other work like engine work because i has no skillz. and i dont have the necessary tools. i plan on building it up little by little to be a reliable daily driver first then start building a drift machine. First of i have a few things i gotta fix some basic stuff like getting a headliner and some dampers for the hatch coolant overflow and some other things. Then ill start adding air filter muffler suspension, but works been nonexistent lately. Im gonna need your help with this car so ill be sure to ask my questions here. Let me know what u think :D Well here are some pics of it my pride and joy

has the car been in a accident? I see some damage on the fire wall on the driver side. 2g is kind of steep. But then again I bought my s14 "SE version" for 2g's with upper front end damage.

yea its a salvage title, prolly why the coolant overflow is broken. looks like the funnel for the windshield fluid was hit into it

Check out my s14. Got her back on the road. For the year I had her, I couldn't fix her right away. Started buying parts one by one on a job that paid 8 dollars an hour at the time. I was a entry level certified Toyota technician doing mostly oil changes that didn't pay s***. My side jobs helped fund the project a little but after I got a good paying job at a factory. I was able to afford to have the car professionaly painted and body kit fitted. Not having a girlfriend and living at home was the key to have her look the way she does now and all paid off. Good luck.

Everyone's car starts somewhere.The pop out sun roof looks needs the TLC.

your hatch doesn't close completely. it's sagging on the left side. that sucks!.2k for a salvage car is a lot.
