always wanted friends always had cars to go slide. i joined the addiction.

so i found one on the forum for $300 needed a little attention to make it road worthy... rad support was crushed in a bit and needed cosemetic parts and a radiator. i bought another 240 for parts for $200. My friend needed some drivetrain parts and some misc s*** so we split it.



So here the other one after i stripped it of what i needed and what i though i needed i cut the rad support out. just incase i needed it which i didnt.



so got down and dirty on my car stripping it off its bumper, hood and headlights. I hook a strap to the rad support and the other to my truck. Well would you look at that it pulled that s*** almost like right back into place. I was so happy. theres a lil bit of a gap on the one headlight but i dont really mind its def not gonna be my last 240 . lol so heres a finally pictures. paint will come when it gets warm also and sr20 swap . welded diff is going in this weekend.



thought a little jdm styling was in order and since i do graphics and have some vinyl laying around japanese rising sun lol

Nice start but the rising sun looks wrong, like the sun rays are way wide. but it looks great if you don't care its not exactly a rising sun.

Glad to see more pignoses getting attention.

I'm assuming by events you mean clubloose?

Do you have any other plans?
