Here is my 1990 Nissan 240sx hatch with 216k miles on it. I bought this almost 2 years ago in poor condition, when I was 16. I thought i owned the coolest car ever. I soon learned that that was not in fact true and started dumping a lot of money and time into it as can be seen in my build thread: update-240lookis-1990-hatch-project-t388061.html

When I first got it:

WOW, what a junker, possibly the worst buy of my life.

Two years later, many imperfections still exist, but you know what, f*** it.

You've made some good progress, but I feel like I just watched a commercial advertising your build thread. :squint:

Then get some. They're dirt cheap and even without spacers, are perfectly sized for s13's...

Lookis, good job man! got any pics from before you installed the spacers and pulled the fenders?

Edit: Nevermind, just browsed your build thread and saw that the fenders were pulled before you even got these wheels. Oh well. Plenty of s13 w/ Hanabi pics floating around...

I see them on google shopping all the time for around $150. That's cheap to me. Unless they are listing them online, but are out of stock in actuality. In that case, yeah... not gonna be so cheap if you gotta hunt them down...

Where'd you get yours?

real paint is a waste of money. i will be constantly replacing/changing body panels and would like the ability to paint them myself.

and why do you care?

mkay, i understand... you should invest in a air compressor and a paint gun...would save you money in the long run and you could learn alot from it...and it could not look like crap :yesnod
