my project car so far.....opinions?

[kraf]

just wonderin what you guys think of my 240 so far. i bought it stock for $400. i need a new dizzy cap and rotor to make it run but havnt got it yet. it also needs a new water pump. cheap fixes. also has some dents i havnt worked on yet.

homemade diamond lok lip that i thought turned out pretty good, havnt finished the lip to make it touch the wheel well yet. the tube coming out the front comes up under my filter so itll feed more air to the filter. i have done the sleepy eyes mod but they eyes arent sleepy in this pic.

blacked out the center tail light. no name ebay cat back.

injen air intake with injen filter, option racing bbp headers, RS type high flow cat, painted engine parts myself, breather filter on valve cover, new NGK plugs and new spark plug wires.

this pics a little bit older but it shows my bride wheel, drifting ebrake mod, i modded the coin holder to hold 2 switches the one on the right is for my sleepy eyes, the one on the left is my future fog lights. and you can also see a couple painted pieces. i have pioneer speakers in the front and back but you ofcourse cant see them.

bottom right hand coner switch is an on/off switch for my fuel pump, my cover for the AC, cdplayer and shifter is missing, i know, its painted yellow and im waiting to get a new DIN bracket before i re install that piece, my caution light switch and my defroster switch are both missing because im in the middle of painting them, the caution one white the defroster yellow. you can see my painted guager cluster, ingition key cover, coinholder switch mount, and door handle. and if you look in the reflection of the glass you can see a white defroster vent i painted.

heres another shot of my painted gauge cluster. and a bit of my bride wheel.

i changed my gauge cluster bulbs to a dark blue to add some uniqueness and this is my new blue gauge cluster.

for the future my plans are to install the spoiler i have for it, paint it flat black, fix the dents, get some rims and tires, get foglights, projection headlights, replace my drivers seat with one thats in good condition and matches my interior, kenwood cd player, get tein coilovers, get a short shifter, new flycheel and clutch, and last but not least go turbo. i think thats about it as of now.

thoughts?

i never knew these came with a coin holder. my SE has the superhicas light and the rear wiper controls there..

[hbpignosePA]

sooo

oooo

gross

[Steady_One_S13]

Get rid of the yellow. Other than that, your 240 looks good. Any planswith the engine.? KA-T or Sr20 swap?

[dj56x]

I like it... kind of got the same thing going just baught a 92 240sx for $400... let me know what turbo plans you have.

[xX RB Xx]

wayy to much yellow for me.... but to each his own.

i would worry about getting the thing running and not adding parts to it.. but that is just me

[rob912]

you need some yellow in the exterior if your going to make it look decent

[tEknoS13]

i never knew these came with a coin holder. my SE has the superhicas light and the rear wiper controls there..

I think all s13's came with coin holders. I guess you just dont realize thats what its for. On your right hand next to the steering wheel. There is a little square with grooves. Coin holder try it lol

[Taylor008]

Painting interior pieces cannot contain more fail, but to each his own.

[iiCiHiAiiViiPii]

the dashboard is pretty rough. but hey its over 10 years old. very tough keep the cracks out! other than that not bad

[S13Joe]

Hmmmm.... Looks horrible IMO.

[hbpignosePA]

not all of them have that holder....

[Future_gohan]

I'm sorry. its gay... -_-

[White Comet]

so lemme get this right, the car doesnt run, you know what you need to get it running, but you busted out the yellow paint

you're at what mrgreeneyes and i would call stage 1

[mrgreeneyes]

awesometown

[i240sx]

so how well does that bbp header fit?

[livinglegend2100]

really? ive honestly never seen that before in a 240. my SE just has the rear window wipers and the dummy light for the superhicas. and the basemodel i have just has a blank spot and i dummy light for something else. brakes or something like that.

is it something they did away with when they changed from pignose to chuki?

[night240]

eww...I hate yellow color panel change it soon. lol

[Razi]

Yellow cheese.

[sebazztard]

yellow is the ultimate fail in your car. other than that, i like it.

[thematz]

Get it running then paint those peices back to stock.

[White Comet]

not all of them have that holder....

true, most had a delete panel there or irrc cc controls. my 1st had the change holder, and i have a few in my pile of parts that i picked up

[OutToWinPAHC]

Umm you better call the Maytag man, the dryer vent came off the house and got into your grill. I thought it may have been a homemade intake at first, but where is it going to?

I agree loose the yellow and paint matte black. I would also get rid of that fake ebay steering wheel.

[Ghast]

Maintenance.

Restore.

Upgrade.

Enjoy.

[heartofaskyline]

it looks like someone peed all over your interior

[destroyyourmind]

yellow makes me angry

[Quality_Salvage]

Forget what the haters say. Paint that dash lime-green so your interior matches your air freshener. Church.

[Jadesr20det]

Yellow is ewwwwwwww.....and bride doesnt make steering wheels its an ebay wheel w/a bride decal......Get the car running first before modding the "looks"of it..... no point in trying to make it "look" fast if the car doesnt even move

[kraf]

jeeze i def didnt expect this kind of hate mail. i think almost everyone took every oppurtunity they had to bash my car and act like jerks. jesus christ, excuse me for trying to restore a car i like. and excuse me if i dont have the time to go get the parts i need. i get them when i can. im married and have a 10 month old daughter. so sorry i cant just run and pick up what i need at any time. i do little things that i can to it while i wait for a day when i get time to do some real work. i thought ive done a pretty good job so far.

[OutToWinPAHC]

But wait what is this? I see it below but then not in this pic? Where is the dryer vent going to?
