Hey everyone, kinda new to the forum. I recently bought a 240sx for 500$, there's not much wrong with her. Shes got a rusted out trunk hatch and couple rust on the rear mudflap sections.

Bought the car with transmission problems, it had an automatic that wouldnt up shift pass first gear. other than that she was a steal. interior was clean just needed shampoo caused it smelled pretty bad. engine bay needs a good degreassing and the car needds new paint case paints peeling off the car :(

Yikes... on the notion that rust is 25% of what you see and the rest is hidden. Please say you got under the car and looked at the frame rails, seams, and welds.

haven't done that yet. going to get car insured tmr and towed to my body guy to look at. im hoping rust under there isnt too bad. i already know tha something is loose down there cause when i drove the car home, loud rattling noises were coming from the rear of the car, was thinking that it was my cat or exhaust hangers loose. not sure

Well dont part it out yet if shes a rust queen. Take it apart and save it all, you might need some parts for the next one.
