What’s up guys.

Just picked up a 1995 240 an thought i should get on here, When i first went to look at her about a month ago i really wasn’t to exited about it and walked away, but i guess as they say "the bug bit me" and i went back and got her. The owner of it had the car for 7 years and did a lot of bodywork (molded the kit in, 2 tone paint) and im not to big on the molded kit and hate the 2 tone. But hey that’s nothing that can’t be fixed. It was wrecked in the front-end pretty much killed the fender and corner light and pushed the bumper support into the battery, but all that is fixed now for the most part. The body has 215k and the ka has a little over 150k. Megan racing exhaust, obx headers, cold air, tein lowering springs. right now it has the stock wheels on it because one of the 17s has a bend in it so i am thinking about getting that fixed or getting a set of rota P45r's. also thinking about getting the stock front an rear bumper and taking the kit off because I plan to paint it somtime soon. For the price i got it i couldnt really turn in down.

i guess ill stop talking now and show some pics.

When I first got her yesterday.

It’s a start, needs a lot of work to get her were I want. All in time I guess.

hope u didnt pay that much for it; looks in real rough shape

with all the time you took to tape off the wheel etc, you prob could have just primered the fender off the car.

just my .02

Welcome to Nico man!, and trust me I know how you feel. Im still in the process of finishing up my 96 240 after I crashed it 4 months ago (because of budget). All it takes it time and hard work man just keep it going and it should turn out great in the future. Nice work so far though in such a short time tho :mike

Yeah the body really isn't in that bad of shape, just were the front fender is an the molded kit, the motor on the other hand.... well it has around 155k the piston rings are shot, valve stem seals are gone... all around not in good shape. i think i am going to pull the motor this weekend when i get back from Charlotte an work on building a ka-t for her, might go ahead an take the kit off an get the body ready for paint to.

All in time i guess.
