Well I got another 240 and thought I'd post some pics. I bought it for $200 and drove it home. The guy said it needed a headgasket, so I tried to have AAA tow it but after the tow truck guy came and said I needed proof of registration, so I just drove it 30minutes home and it barely smoked.

Well here are some pics:







Its a hatch that doesn't have a wing or rear wiper, no sunroof and manual windows and mirrors the car also has the FULL interior. Only problem is that it has SOOOOOOOOOO much rust that it isn't really salvageable, so I think i'm gonna part it out but i'm not sure though. I already have someone that wants the motor trans, hatch, uncracked dash, gas tank, and tailight for $380 lol also for my dd I need the windshield, heater core and tons of miscalaneous stuff that i'd normally have to go to the junkyard for.

Not bad for 200 though right?

lol yep I think thats what i'm gonna do because I have 200 in it, oh and it had a quarter tank of gas so I didn't even have to spend a dime getting it home, I can part it for $500 plus and scrap it for atleast 100. So i'm thinking a net profit of atleast $400 plus all the parts i'll get out of it for my car is worth my time. I just hate seeing another s-chassis going to the junkyard. Atleat this one isn't my fault because the rust is almost completely impossible to fix safely.

damn only if you lived closer i could use the motor and transmission. For $200 that isnt a bad buy at all. I mean a windshield is about $300-$500

Umh hit me up at [email protected] and I can get you what you need, cuz I know how you feel my old car had the pigtail get all messed up.

About everyone that wants pics of my white s13, well its actually in rebuild phase, I'll post up some pics when I get it done for drifting the end of the month.

I don't have any pics of the interior yet, also I took out the dash and heater core, but other than the driver side seat having a tear like always, its really clean
