Well last Friday I got my first car, I've been looking for a cheap 240sx little rust and running for cheap me and my brother found this for 1500$ and bought it :)

It has ac and everything works but front speakers. Runs good only bad is it's an automatic
Here's the pics

Ok paint update like I said 
1) if sanding use 220grit. If sanding epoxy cause your bumper had a crack use 100 or 150grit depending on how rough.
 You can bondo on metal but if on the plastic use as little as possible.

2) primer it using primer filler then sand with 220grit then primer sealer( the primer runs pretty easily be careful)
3) Now sand the primer sealer if it's smooth sand it with 400grit then clean with a clean rag DON'T TOUCH IT
4)spray it with the color that matches the car
5)400grit then clean then color of the car
6)clear coat do about three coats but look at it at an angle and if it looks thick don't spray anymore and wait about 3 minutes

Make sure your painting not to stop in the middle and and go back. Go in one motion

well i didnt pay for it my brother did but it was about 100$-150$, but that is also for the front bumper, and hopefully we will get to that this weekend!!!!!
because im only 15 and its hard to find a job, because they all hire at 16, he helped me pay for the car and im going to pay him back, but he was about to buy a 240 and him and this guy agreed ,shook hands and later that night left a message that he didnt want to sell it. my brother has a good job and bought an 06 rsx for dd, and should be getting a 240sx soon :)
also put this on my christmas list, i figured that i would want a shorter one for if i get a quick release

Keep it gold, gold is rad.

Aside from my Zenki S14, if I was going to build any other S-chassis, it would be a gold S13 coupe with an Odyvia or Kouki S14 front end, BN Blister, and Kranze Vishnu.
