Picked up pignose for $750 *pics inside*

[MMC.Revenge]

Yeah, so I took this s13 off my friends hand for a decent price. he owned it for less than a week before selling it to me, he didn't even get the title put in his name. Of course being so cheap, it does have its fair share if issues...1 - HORRIBLE paint jobLooks like someone sanded, sprayed it pink, sanded, sprayed flat black, then decided to do a two tone job with white on the bottom...problem is, they didn't do a good job AT ALL!

2 - Brake lights stay on, so i have to disconnect the battery when i park.

3 - transmission grinds in 2nd gear, unless in doing less than 15mph, and shift AT 2k rpm

4 - Passenger side front fender is smashed in, and there are various dents and dings

5 - BIG gas leak. i went through 1/4 tank in about 1 day...didnt seem right...sure enough one of the lines from the rear was badly torn...as a quick fix, i cut the line, threw a 300zx fuel filter on there, and ran new hose from the filter to the hard line.

now on to the pics! (brace yourself, it aint no looker!)

Nice two tone!

But it least it has an uncracked dash, right?

[MMC.Revenge]

No, i should have taken better pics. dash has two fairly long cracks in it.

[ZOMG.SR20]

thats one expensive parts car

[anti_flag_army]

Thats what i was thinking. That body is pretty rough for that price...

[BackIntoAnS13]

Mine looked just as bad same dent on the fender also lol only yours is running, mine wasnt but thats how i wanted it. I paid 900 for mine, most ppl wouldnt but now a days you cant find a 240 for a decent price, every one thinks there made out of gold

[s14derrick]

is it rustless and running?

[S13Teddy]

Ewwwwwwwww.

[MMC.Revenge]

yup, rustless and runs great.has about 170k miles on the odo

[MMC.Revenge]

Ewwwwwwwww.

i agree, but it gets me to and from work, and thats about the only reason i bought it.

[s14derrick]

a running car for 750 is a pretty good deal. a little body work and shewill be nice and clean

well, more than a little...but yeah...i have plans to bring up its appearance but only after i get the transmission rebuilt, thats really the only thing that worries me right now

[Jadesr20det]

purchased for 150 sryy had to do it

Brake light issue is probably the grommet that pushes the switch in.

Put a bolt and nut in place of grommet and it'll close the circuit like it's suppose to.

Hard to get to but it's doable...push the brake pedal down and feel towards the top...

yeah, thats what i planned on doing, i know its an easy temp fix, work has gotten in the way of getting it sorted.

150? NICE!really nice body, man!does it run? r

[Jadesr20det]

not a runner right now but im gonna swap over the sr from my red car into this one and put my rb in the red car......any rust on yours? As posted these things are getting harder to find for a decent price so all things considered you just need to give it some tlc and then post her in the before and after thread ...... good luck buddy

[MMC.Revenge]

Ah i see, well i hope the swaps go smoothly for you!no rust on mine. just really beat, it does need a lot of TLC, lol

[Mangid]

Look on the bright side... it's rustless, has a black interior, and it's manual. Can't ask for a better starting platform

[kyhunter89]

atleast its a 240....

[240sxka-t]

750 for a running, hopefully legal car. s***. i'll take one. who cares what it looks like. sleeper

body work after everything else

[S13Joe]

Looks like barney got his hand caught in the door.

[chaosli]

dude i had those rim u have in ur trunk when i brought my car loli found out recently they r some old school enkies i have pic to prove

before i got it

after i got it

[dahveed]

i am not gonna lie, it looks pretty bad haha. but 750 isnt tooo much. i did buy my running fastback for 400 though =P

[Fibre guy]

Sleeper build FTW

[sniper810]

I picked my 89 coupe up Friday night.. paid $700 cash plus an iPhone 2g 16gig.... runs and drives great, leaks some oil under the hood, but has very minimal rust and body damage Ill be posting pics up soon

[OdsGeorge]

I am sorry but 700 is kinda too much for this

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Well good thing he paid $750 then.

[ectomorph]

hint hint: lose that 240 and keep the one in your garage, or turn it into a parts car.

[hbpignosePA]

Well good thing he paid $750 then.

lulz

you gotta wonder a car that looks like that was probably beat to hell..

good luck with all the maintenance crap your gonna need
