Hey guys my name is joe, I'm 18 and I've worked and saved all winter to buy my 2nd 240. My first 240 which was a 90 hatch was in a hit and run accedent. I finaly have some pics of my new s13!!!. I purchased the car in P.A. for 2k. it has 150k miles, no rust with the only spot that I have seen and am aware of is in the rear where the mud flap on the passenger side is, which im sure is an easy fix. I dont want to fix any rust with bondo so rewelding it shall be. It also has s14 driver and passenger seats which are prittey clean. The car is currently sitting on what I am told to be a set of 16x7 0 offset sport maxx 002 model rims wrapped around bfg kdw tires. I said "what I am told to be" becaue I dont know what any of those things are honestly. I dont know much about mechanics of cars as some of you who have helped me in some of my posts already know, but I do plan on learning thru here, you guys really know your stuff. Learning the mechanics means a lot to me because I want to be able to work on my car and understand it more. I also wanna become a pro driver just like others out there, I can drive well on a track fror my age and have won 2 out of 3 events i attended in florida, but ill leave that convo for another day. I was sent a pic of the under and it was pritty clean aswell I have yet to see it in the air in person though. The car has no A/C which I need to buy all the parts for and I also need to have my strut towers re welded. I currently have no pics of but will get detailed pics soon. The car also has a dent on each quarter pannel thats not so bad but will be taken care of. Im planning on making this car into my track event/ daily driver. Let me know what you guys think about my most prized possession. *there crappy pics of the interior and undercarriage were taken by and sent to me from the sellers phone.*

Heres some pics of the under pritty clean for a northern kept car I think:











The car befor i Purchased it. The owner was riding on cut springs but it does look good.





The car when i came for pick up. The owner put back the oem suspension.









Interior:







Engine bay.

You can see a little of my strut tower problem in the pic:

Well those are the most current pics of my new car. I'm hyped about fixing it up and taking it out on the track, all in time I guess. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks againJoe.
