New guy checkin in...

[MajorHadron]

Hey, my name is Neal, just to let you know.I stumbled across this car on craigslist, and it was such a great deal i couldnt pass it up, its a 1990 240 coupe. Deff. worth pickin it, bad thing is it needs the head and headgasket put on and possibly a new bottom end, possibly just new piston rings and a good cleaning..(i hope) Previous owners wife said it hadnt been driven for 3 years.......... ugh hahha. But i guess without further adieu here are some picts...

[MajorHadron]

haha indeed. i bought the car, then had it towed right over to a shop to have them do work. the guy wanted 1100 for the car, i got him down to 900 and the so the 200 i saved on the car and the other 200 i had are going to gettin it runnin so i can drive it hahaha

[1991ls13]

welcome, whats the plans

[MajorHadron]

Plans... umm when i get a job.. ugh are to lower it and get most of the suspension work out of the way, put some 17 inch wheels on it, then probably KA-T. needs to be a DD but I would love some track time with it.

[1991ls13]

nice! you`ll have yourself one hell of a ride when it comes around to it.pretty cheap to depending on what hp goals you have.you can get 250hp easy out of those on a cheap set up. t28 would be perfect.

[MajorHadron]

ohh yeah indeed. this is my first car so its going to be a learning experience for sure. Im gonna try to do as much work by myself or with friends just so i can learn the car and save some money haha

[Clawhammer]

Welcome, clean start!

[MajorHadron]

thank you. I really wanted a hatch.. but after looking at a couple, i loved them, then this came up, guy said it was a hatch, looked in person, it was a coupe, after seeing it i knew i wanted a coupe more then anything for some reason... hope i can get it running within the week so i can drive it and have some fun. haha

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Welcome fellow AZian! The body on that coupe looks hella straight. Nice find.

[MajorHadron]

woot to AZ..... hahayeah body is pretty clean, driver door doesnt close all the way cause its a little out of wack, but otherwise its pretty straight. small surface rust on one spot, but i think ima primer it up, then spray it black or something just for now, idk though haha

[MajorHadron]

haha yeah dude i will let you know. Have you ever heard of a shop called subversive? thats where im getting work done on her.

[Dunky Kong]

yeah i have but not much wha tyou getting done?

[MajorHadron]

yeah, the head was off cause it needed a new head gasket. So i took it in for them to put the head on. So they looked at it, and said it may need new piston rings and they are gonna clean the bottom end up to see if the cylinders have rusted any(hoping its not) but if it needs a new bottom end ima just find a dual cam and get that put in.

[Dunky Kong]

oh you should come out with the group one night you will have some fun!
