Car: 1994 240sx Convertible

Post

Hey world! This is my first post to NICO and I'm hoping I'm doing this forum game correctly. :yesnod

Anyways, about a month ago after saving all junior and most of senior year, I finally had enough to purchase my dream car, an s13. And here in Omaha Nebraska, finding a clean 240sx hatchback that wasn't beat to all heck was pretty hard. Then finally after searching and searching I came across a 1994 240sx Convertible, which I fell in love with. I purchased it and have been excited ever since. Anyways, just wanted to let you know since all of you seem knowledgeable and passionate about these you could help me with some tips, tricks and things of that nature.

I am pleased that it already had:
only 113k on the KA
Coil overs
5 speed swap
LSD
catback exhaust
Aftermarket stereo unit

The bad:
started having a teeeny tiny leak
Speakers are completely blown (dry rot)
the catback is a little too loud for my taste
rear bumper has fading paint
the fabric on both door panels is falling off (unglued and staples falling off a bit)
seats have loose fabric
has quite a few squeaks and rattles since owner before previous removed a lot of screws (weight loss attempt..?)
But mostly just cosmetic stuff!

I am in love and happy with the purchase! Haha, so if you have an questions or would like more pictures please ask!
:dblthumb:

I have quite a few plans but it will all take time since I'll be heading to college soon!
For the very near future:
-Speakers
-Bring that factory paint back to its shine
-Bride aftermarket seats (I've heard a bunch of Vert owners having trouble finding a size that fits with the seatbelt)
-XXR (datbudgetlife) 002s maybe?! I'd like to just use my current tires
And I'm at a complete loss when people start talking about tire and rim specs haha
But I'd like to hear some feedback on that!

Congrats and welcome.

In the harsh winter you will probably have to work hard to maintain a Vert.

Most things should be easily fixable it sounds like.
