Hey everyone, i'm new to the vert scene, and i'm trying to do my best with making it nice with the advice and guidance of the pros around here. 1994 240sx Convertible 5 Speed S14 Motor and transmission swap. Anyway, here's the damage. Bought it back in the beginning of May from this guy. Which I couldv'e died; cause the rear rims(steel) were cracked where the lug nut holes are, blown front shocks, with 2 donuts on the front......yea, I call AH on that one. But luckily I found a friend in my area with a vert(NiCO Profile: ROOFLESS). Bought some stock rims off of him, so now no more dangerous driving. But enough of me talking, heres the pics:


When I first got it.

With stock rims, the way it should be.
Image

Front view, crappy previous owner paint job
Image

No side damages
Image

Decent rear view, again no damages
Image

This completely makes me HATE rain
Image

Top pretty ratty, but at least nothing leaks through the cloth
Image

Inside, nothing special, except no speakers behind the panels, and hardly attached.
Speedometer doesn't work, and milage counter at a stand still
Image

Typical Cracked dash
Image

Typical bolted fabric on panles
Image

s14 motor and transmission, supposedly rebuilt
Image

Right side
Image

Left side

Thats about it, if anyone got any questions, just ask away, really open to hear about the good, the bad, the ugly on what you see, so i can make this thing great. Thanks

I seriously need that, is the back window tinted? Cause clear is better for me.....besides Roofless JUST helped me with getting a job, cause my job flopped on me. So funds are short. As soon as i get funds, you'll be first to know for sure.

Me and my girlfriend ripped off all the old duct tape of back window, and re-duct taped it, but also with a silicone glue that's water proof. It'll have to do until i get the money to get new top and window. At least it doesn't leak either. Rained in the same day we did it. So im happy with it lol
