TOPLESS FTW!

[r0nin]

sooooo joined on here a couple weeks ago after i got her, a 93 240sx vert. havent posted yet since it's not much to look at. So far this is the mod list that's on her

17" rims, staggered
smoked tails,
some crap sideviews(dont work that well)
wink 5 panel mirror
full no name catback exhaust
emusa(ebay) coilvers
had smoked turn signals but I'll get more detailed into that later
5lug swap all around
new top and back window

just purchased a headunit since it didnt come with one. If anyone knows the speaker sizes for the doors and rears off the top please feel free to let me know =)

the bad:
interior is torn. mainly driver seat, top of backseats, and paneling is all warped. (who decides to staple paneling from the inside -_-'' ....stupid nissan)
steering wheel is rough
had to replace the p/s pump
wont pass emissions.....
little surface cancer on the back and the windshield support in the middle. and there's a dent in the rear driver quarter.
little knob thing that holds the gascap cover is broken, and the pull for the trunk doesnt work,

AND had to replace pretty much the whole front end. dad backed into it so I had to swap out the bumper, passenger quarter, and the pass headlight assem.

NOW for pics. i warn you, it's not too pretty. but when i'm done it wont leave skidmarks, they'll be sexmarks >:D








after we pulled off the damaged parts. it wasnt too bad, just it hit right at the light, so that corner was all dented in. so for 150 I figured might as well swap all the parts out




and after I got the new peices on






and wink mirror yayz =D



apparently leather interior is rare in a vert?


PLANS:
get it to pass emissions, install sound, paint, then work on interior paneling. then this winter i'll swap out for a 5speed and do some needed maintenance and of course before i bring it out i'll have a few security features installed diy style

comments/concerns/insults/praises all welcome =D

I'll keep this updated as I do more to it.

Welcome aboard!

Leather was a dealer add-on, kinda rare.

Lol at the mirror

[r0nin]

so far the mirror is nice. especially with the top down. I just have to support the middle with the other side of the visor mounts to take out most of the vibration.


i'll take some better pics next time im down to work on it.

the mirror might look funny but I bet its functional

op. nice car, keep us posted on your progress.

[r0nin]

so when i bought it. the p.o. pulled out his radio/speakers already. or he never had any. so I picked up a new jvc headunit from work and I need to pick up some speakers. Then i'll have some music for the vert.

also looking at taking it to maaco to get a paintjob to get rid of my panda status. thinking of a dark gray. any thoughts?

I've always liked gray. I was going to do mine in gray but I got convinced by my friends to do blue

[sci2000tech]

I loved the way my car looked with the IS300 dark metallic gray. I think you'd be very happy with a dark gray. It seems to go well with just about anything.

Blue is awesome too, tho. So many choices....

Car's coming along nicely, Keep up the good work

[r0nin]

i was looking for something sorta like the vert in your pic. dark gray. sorta like a gray graphite pearl. satin probably. And i'm looking into white wheels with it. something a little diff.

with touches of blue here and there. I was thinking of blue wheels. but that'd prolly be a little too flashy.


hey sci. is that a brembo kit on the front? i have one on my civic and love it so i wanted to do the same on the 240. how much did it set you back?
