I have 2 240's. 1st is a 93 hatch 5spd got 175k on it.I got one hell of a system in it just spent $800 on it the other day which should of been for new struts but now I can't hear my problem The other one is an 89 hatch that I have gutted out and it has a blown engine..however I have an engine with transmission that has a little over 100k on it sitting in storage. Before I go tthis car my mom was goign to give me her vert then she became a witch and we got into arguments. So I bought the 89. Now that she just earned 18,000 from selling my dad's property she is thinking of giving me the vert again. I know I can get for fact as a graduation project but it about to blow up. She ran this thing to death don't even know if it can make it to my house without dieing. My current plan as of now was to hold off on turbo buy a bike this fall rebuild my current 93 then go back to my project kat. So here is my options1. Get bike and turbo project car 2.Restore vert and transfer my sound sytem into it and do payments on a bike and turbo my 93 in 06' and keep 89 as a rally/drift vehicle 3.Spend 6k on my KAT live happily ever after cuz I won't die on a bike, but can't cruise the beaches with my top down Going to start college this spring, if I get the vert Car will be finished in less than a month I have the money now to fix it.

Tough scenerio... I am sure you will figure something out.

If it were me.... Keep the 'vert! Restore it... make it fast and fun.

I love my 'vert and I live in Wisconsin where we have summer for about 2 weeks. If I lived in Florida, I wouldn't dream of having a non-convertible car.

I think you should keep the 'vert, get a KA-T project built, or swap in an SR or RB... go 5 spd... restore the body... and become a regular here on the 'vert forum of NICO.

Part out or sell the other stuff, or keep it for winter... oh wait you don't have winter.

Cheers

Update..I get the vert next week.My project car I went and swapped engine just another sohc had like 100k on it. I can't get it to start think the timing is off. Working too much to have time to look at it.This weekend I plan to go rally with my 20 again and we'll have some pics of it then when I get my vert I'll take some pics.I got 5,500 right now.I could buy BD's engine and stage 2 kit and drop it in my project, then work on the vert from there....or maybe drop it in the vert

Go and pick it up and bring it back home on Saturday.Had to clean the garage to get it.Also got to take out her HU and install in her other vehicle.It's like taking candy from a baby.(unless it Stewie from Family Guy)
