Here she sits as I bought it:

1 year and 2 months later:

Now I just have to replace the stupid muffler. Still have Tein S-Techs to install.

[cyrus240sx]

very nice... its always cool to see how ppl have taken a normal car and made it there own

[wickedpelf]

WOW, nice

[Graphfixz]

how much did you buy it for?

[slydin'240]

$500 with a bad transmission but the kid had bought a replacement out of the junkyard and it was in the trunk. Bolted it in and drove it down the street.

[Graphfixz]

WoW! $500???How much have you put into it? Looks like a new paint job?

[slydin'240]

Ya my buddy painted and did the body work for me for $500. I bought the paint and clear for $250. Other then that not too much. Alot of junkyard parts ie. taillights (notice the flames in pic) and afew parts from NICO ie. gauge cluster and trunk lid with factory spoiler. Clear turn signals from Enjuku Racing. Wheels I bought at work so they where way cheap. I'd say total I have about $1500 - $2000 invested in the car.

<hijacked thread> already done. but those pins on the nut were a PITA. I bent them to much for safety when i changed it.. hehe.</end of hijack>

[slydin'240]

Well atleast its done now. My brother-in-law smashed the s*** out of his thumb trying to get the nut off of his old rods(he has a '90 240 coupe). He couldn't get the pins all the way out so when the nut finally broke loose he smashed it inbetween the ratchet and strut. I was funny as heck but it sure looked like it hurt like hell. I've never seen a cuticle turn black and blue before. Then his whole nail was black and blue and swollen. It was bad.
