I bought the seats from one of my buddys from a recently crashed s14, 2days after it got swapped with an s14blacktoptop my buddy is keeping every parts still good and putting the engine in his s14 I bought the seats but the driver's seat got torn from the impact so I took it appart and since no weld broke and its just bent from the weight of the driver I will repair it good side

[RedSVTFlareside]

nice work bringing back a rusted 240sx. Man I'm glad mine wasnt' that rusty. You picked a tough project. Its nice to see it comming together well. Good job and good luck.

[ca20det]

does it have any shaft play?just whenever you would sell it, im just piecing together a turbo kit for my ka. if it doesnt have shaft play or anything wrong with it i would offer $100-$150. just lmk

for 150 I'll be letting it go now let me know

[mchkc240]

You are RICH

[ca20det]

no i'm not the tools I buy will last my entire life so its a good investment

smallupdate, we're tacking the shock towers in place on friday

powerbrace getting together slowly



small holes to patch up



hinges hoods welded up

[babowc]

This is like Sockington Jr. project!!

[ca20det]

don't want to brag but it should be the other way around

[FUNGC]

agreed. this project is way more intense.

anyways what kinda welder are you using and what are the specs?

[ca20det]

http://www.millerwelds.commillermatic 175 with trimix gazits 175 amps infinite adjustments for power and wirespeed its a charm

[jjisguilty]

Thats a cool project man, I wish I had the skills and/or time to do something like that. Good luck with everything, its gonna be pretty sweet when its all done.

[ca20det]

unfortunatly we did not install the shock towers.......soI started to prepare the driver rail



too much rotten so if I grinded off the rust no more metal would be left so I took another piece fron the fron clip

driver floor taken out(by Steven)



rail prepared



test fit





its moving slower than I expected because I work 5 days a week but My frien Benny is coming back soon to install my shock towers so before the end of the month the front end should be all together and maybe primed!!!Meanwhile I occupy my time somewhere else. If Mchip (performance part store nearby) would hussle to get my bushings I could prep the rear subframe install the bushings paint the rusted parts install my 5 lug hubs and z32 brakes and the diff to be ready to lift it back in... its been a month and should've when it should've been two weeks... anyway

stay tuned!!

getting resprayed purple?

got any more info on that? 2 tone or single? ive never seen it before.

[240 Trainee]

Props to you man, I'm all about saving cars but damn, glad I don't live in the rust belt, hahahaha.

[le_ryan]

gotta admire your effort, its coming along nicely now, whats your inspiration/motivation ? thats a massive project.

[Onizuka]

Dude you are my hero, I see 240's in 15x better shape than that in the junk yard but you still go the distance to fix it up. Cant wait to see this finished.

[hpmachine]

Yo holmes, great project. I was just wondering where you picked up that thermoswitch-adapter thing for your oil cooler.

[1sikS13]

i envy you for saving another 240, its people like that give me inspiration to fix my my own car and know that it is not to far gone thank you! thumbs up for a job well in progress.

[churro]

That is some massive restoration. I admire your dedication.

[ca20det]

paid too much for the car in the first place, hate rust, so instead of paying my mistake ine cash I payed it in time and learned a lot in the process i.e. patience wich I did not know before as for the paint it should be 1 tone maybe grey/silver 350z or something like that... charcoal grey...

I forgot a picture too... subframe with energy suspension bushings installed!

[ca20det]

thanks a lot for all your good comments too I posted on Zilvia and got bashed so took off the thread... as for the oil cooler switch I got it on ebay I spotted one from pegasus but it required too much space and fitting so I went for this one I'll see if it does the job....

[ca18datsun510]

who cares about zilvia?

[ca20det]

long time since last update! pace by pace I say!!

hung up the frame on the BBQ a lot of work to do to the undercarriage

fcuking awesome man. this thing has certainly come a long way. can't wait to see it finished and cancer-free

btw, where did you get your jdm subframe from? mine is pretty rusty (not as bad as yours though) so i've been looking for a while with little luck.
