A buddy of mine decided he wanted a 240sx so he bought two cars. One car had a good motor with a lot of rust and the other was a good body with no motor. you get where im going with this? So he brought the cars to my house so he could work on them and I could help him with them. not three days later he gives up and acts like he expects me to do it for him, but I wasn't going to do everything with no pay. The cars sat and sat in my yard until finally I decided I will do it but I'm going to get the title to the car that we will not be using and use it as the actual title for the car we will have running. My "friend" will not be back in town for a while and has been out of town for a while for the army. When he returns I doubt he will care at all about the cars since he has 500 total in them. on to the pictures.

well if he left they seem abandoned to me lol. get the rust free shell up and running. if he throws a fit give him the 500 he paid or have him pay for the work. most places leaving something over for a long time would make the item yours lol

This project will be spearheaded by Nissanguy16 and myself. We are both college students, and will be trying to get this done as much as possible on our spare time...so we are hoping to get most of this work done as quickly as possible!

My guess is he wont be back for another year. We've been trying to contact him with little luck. Last time he did this same thing i ended up with a nice coupe shell, which we put an SR in!

BTW this will become my race/drift car for me and my crew. the guy that wanted a 240 also was supposed to buy my old s13 coupe pictured below but he flaked on it also and my friend Justin who will chime in and who is helping me with this project bought it and put a sr20det in it.

Not sure, either grip or drift. we're leaning towards grip for the fact that we don't want to pay for tires all the time and we don't like hitting walls going 80mph

The evo is my daily. I sold the black coupe in december. never got it on the dyno. I wish i still had it

ill try to get some pictures of the evo up eventually. i love it. perrin 3" dowpipe, greddy 3" exhuast, greddy rs bov, and apexi intake. It needs a tune to really unleash the power now.

We got some progress done tonight, but with all that rust we ran into some issues. hoepfully tomorrow we will get the motor all the way out, and begin to drop the cross member ect...
