god!! looks like someone attacked it with spray paint, this is a nice car, put it on the right path it'll look even better

That rust is not bad at all though. Your rails are pretty much perfect. My drivers side rail was toast, was in 2 pieces. And i like how you refer to it as your paperweight

Nice 240! Nice white steelie, I was actually considering painting mine white just for some aesthetic value because I personally dislike black rims. They don't look so bad! Good luck with your paperweight

looks too promising to be a paperweight

hah good luck

It's almost been a year now with this 240sx. Progress made: not so much but I'm trying. Here's an itemized list of things I've done (no one reads huge paragraphs so I might as well bullet point it):

1) Removed the engine. It had a knock so it had to go!




2) Gutted the interior. I'm not sure what moron ever thought a brown interior would work. Plus it smelled. Now it has new carpet (not completely done until I get the wiring in), black interior (no black belts yet), leather seats, and red tach needles now. Sound deadner removal = biggest waste of my short life. Also, if you plan to install new carpet, get a premolded/cut one and save your old one, another rookie mistake. I tried to carpet the rear seats, just don't know what I think of it yet.

No before pictures because that stuff was out instantly.





3) Rust repairs. Annoying but needed. Sill grinding patching but only one spot left.

Things to do or stuff left to buy:

Tower Rust
Motor-Anything but an SR20DET. Great motor but they are so common now. Would really like to go KA-T or RB20DET.

I would also like to thank those who have contributed writeups to NICO as there is no way I would have even bought a 240sx without your help and the communities help in general.

Thanks
