S13 Hatch Restoration/Build-DD

[PercieBlaze]

Alright so i got this 1991 240sx hatchback SE, when i traded an old bobber bike i had straight up, with no cash added.
Heres the bike.


the car was sitting in his driving way forever, he told me it wouldnt start unless you jumped it, the power windows didnt work,head lights didnt go down and a bunch of other stuff he was telling me, but i didnt care i just wanted another 40, since i had to sell my last one. Well i took a brand new battery with me, some fuses,multimeter and other random tools to try to fix it and bring it home.

Turned out all it needed was the new battery and a alternator fuse, and it started right up and i drove it home.

Couple days later i found a guy with a pig nose front bumper with lip and stock fenders, so i went and scooped those.
Out with the old..

In with the new.

[PercieBlaze]

Got her cleaned up and took some more photos, car is sitting on Eibach sportlines with stock struts, and adjustable front control arms.

[PercieBlaze]

My plan for the car pretty much is a daily driven car i can have fun with,240s are my favorite car by far, so i wanna keep it tell i get old and grey and just build it as i grow

Well definitely keep the thread updated, I like seeing how cars progress over the years

[PercieBlaze]

Soon i got sick of the whole mis match color thing and painted my bumper and fenders with rattle cans, owell. doesnt look so bad.

[PercieBlaze]

snatched up a steering wheel with hub, short shifter, and lowercontrol arms. because the adjustable ones were shot.

[PercieBlaze]

ended up getting rid my springs for some emusa coilovers

[PercieBlaze]

This is my old hatch i had to sell.

[PercieBlaze]

anyways.. i decided on the wheels im gonna get 9.75 in the rear. so me and my boy rolled the fenders

[whatsderftings13]

[PercieBlaze]

My wheels i decided on.

[PercieBlaze]

Oh and on a side note helped my buddy replace a gas tank.

[PercieBlaze]

Ive had mine for a bit over a month and there awesome for the price.

[PercieBlaze]

^ my emusa coils are fine. just wish i could go a little lower. i would have rather got racelands if i had known of them sooner.

[PercieBlaze]

so havent updated in a while, due to me tryin to figure out why it wont stop overheating.. brand new radiator,water pump,thermostat, bled the air out a bunch of times. and still after a while it never fails to overheat. starting to think it has a crack in the head and is leaking out the exhaust... not sure tho.

[Jake The Snake]

Looks awesome! I'm glad you put that pig nose on there. The bike was cool too.

Hope you can fix the overheating problem. Do you have to add coolant much?

[PercieBlaze]

Thanks bro PigNose is the best front end for s13 IMO. i was checkin out your SR s14 earlier s*** is ill. as for my car and the coolant problem, i bled the system again today, and installed a new thermostat. drove it around the block seems to be fine. but my hatch is very moody so ill see how long that last..
