Car: 1990 240sx Coupe

Post

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...

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.
