Hey guys... Many of you probably saw my post that was all of two weeks old about me getting a nice 1994 240sx Convertible...

Well... Cruising my way back from Woodstock, some dumbasses decided to ruin my day. Earlier in the day there was road construction on a bridge, and the workers POORLY poured still warm asphalt/tar mixture (believe its called fiber mix) over the potholes they dug... Well three cars in a line with me last were traveling up to the bridge. The first driver for NO REASON, locks his brakes when he saw the tar, which in turn cause number two driver to lock up, which in turn made me lock up my brakes to avoid a collision. Sadly by the time i was hitting my brakes, my tires were plastered SMACK on the this fiber mix, causing me to lock up and slide on top of this tar/gravel mix... Damage ensues...







Heart broken, my car is towed in the opposite direction from where i live for no odd reason... Yesterday as soon as im awake, me and my father go to pick up car and see if we can get it home. Slapped with a 530 dollar towing bill for towing,storage and handling. My day is **** to begin with. Much work ensues in the sun for almost two hours before the car is jerry rigged into place and driven home. Amazingly the accident did NOTHING the engine or suspension. Today, car home and safe, we decide to pick it apart and see what we are dealing with.

no real damage besides the radiator support and side..



^ Worst by far...

^ thats how much it was pushing in on this side...

All in all i think it can be done... Luckily, kind people on the forum like "wowitsaboy" are donating me a bumper and hood so i can try to get this back on the road... Locally there is a 90 fastback shell so im gonna see if i can get some fenders, bumper support, and radiator support of his. IF anyone has any local shells or even any local expertise on this kind of project it would be greatly appreciated and you will be acknowledged for your help. Please help me with this everyone... And i will keep you up to date on the project as it goes... WITH camera in hand
