WOW no 56k

[S13Joe]

Just picked up this piece of s***, 89 Coupe SE (no sunroof) with a working HUD and some other stuff. Cost me $360.









Some suspension mods too:

Checking out the damage tomorrow, and I will need parts. Any part outs on Long Island? Let me know, I'll even pull it myself.

The kid threw in a pignose and some huge ebay exhaust.

Picked it up in MA so you should expect the following:



So the plans are, fix her up, put her on the road, body work and then upgrades. No, there will be no build thread because I'm lucky if I can get a different upgrade every 2 months. I may just update this thread from time to time though, enjoy.

[S13Joe]

Hm, I guess photobucket is a little messed up.

[pj]

good find, i would drop 380 on a coupe in a sec. dude

[S13Joe]

Yeah the whole trip actually added up to around $600. But whatever... So any part outs on long island? Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed parts.

[sebazztard]

good price, i wish mine was a hard-top. im FULLY parting out a 90 hatch if you need any thing under neath the car or hood or interior. lmk, [email protected]. good luck with your project. hopefully its not too bad underneath. i like the suspension mods, vip.

DUDE! you got a partial DeLorean conversion going on I bet Dr. Emmett Brown can help ya with that.

[livinglegend2100]

shes a bit rough around the edges i must say. but its whats on the inside that counts right? lol

not bad for the price though

[S13Joe]

Eh, the under body is what I should expect for $360 and an 89. I took off that wheel today just before the sun went away so I didn't get a good look at what I need just yet. Are you on long island? I know I'm going to need various parts and possibly the whole e-brake assembly besides the handle itself. I will let you know though and thanks for the offer, your willing to ship if I can't come to you right?

[S13Joe]

Back seat:

I honestly can't complain about the interior at all. Its almost perfect with the exception of cleaning it and a nice long crack in the dashboard above the cluster.

But, I still can't figure out how its even sitting like this:

Ignore the rust too, I'm going to check out how bad it really is eventually and more than likely my friend is going to cut and weld the new in for free, of course I will throw him as much money as possible though.

The passenger side frame rail is not bad, I can see its been patched with some tar s*** before and that will also get cut out and replaced. The driver's side frame rail on the other hand is a little worse, I've seen much worse but its still on the bad side.

suspension is a pretty easy fix.Rust is uh oh.Is that a nardi steering wheeL?Overall good deal though.

Oh, P.S Give me the dash please haha

[sebazztard]

yea im abt 7 hrs north lol (right under canada). shipping all day w/e you need. im going to strip the car over the next week or so so i'll have everything in boxes ready to go, sry to threadjack but i figured if you could use the help, i can use the money lol.

[S13Joe]

Lol, its fine man, I need as much help as I can get anyways. I'm going to put together a parts list and I'll let you know what i need.

Well, took pictures of the damage today:









And I picked these up from a fellow nico member (FOR $10!!) today aswell:

So, anyone want to give me any pointers on my situation? I know the repairs will be easy provided I have the right parts and tools. I'm not sure if anyone can tell by the pictures but does anyone think I'm going to need a new hub?

Also, the rust gets pretty horrid down there also, not taking pictures though.

HELP

[S13Joe]

Blah

Not a Nardi wheel, I probably would have made a mess in my pants if it was though. The dash isnt perfect either, two nice long cracks above the cluster but other than that its nice.

[Ghast]

Save her.

You have your work cut out for you.

One Love,

Ghasty

[Dittoz7]

Damn, Crazy Positive Camber.



Nice Wheel Tho.

[SirSilvia]

dude I've never seen rust on a lower arm before, let alone, rusted in half O.o

[hbpignosePA]

i personally would part it out...

that looks beat to hell

[EnjoiNismo]

I had the same situation with the wheel. Everything was messed up besides the hub. I doubt the hub got messed up.

You just want the interior pieces! Haha I love those type of seats (fabric)!

Good luck with the rust man. Buy a lot of wire wheels and the paint that turns rust into primer.

Not rusted in half, broken in half then sat and rusted.

So I need one of these, Control Arm? Not sure of the name, I'm not good with names.http://www.autopartswarehouse....&text=

Who has one?

The rust isn't really bothering me. Hopefully I can take care of it while im attending UTI come September. All I need right now is a car that I can enjoy and drive daily, also, the odds of finding a rust free 240sx in the new england area are close to none.

This is my 3rd 240sx, I'm used to the rust by now, I'm also unemployed and too broke to fund a project.

For this car, the plans are:Make it drivable (fix that crazy sick jdm camber, full tune up, then put it on the road)Body work (Cut and weld as much as possible within my friends convenience, he will be doing the welding and I will supply the beer and materials.)Then upgrades (Coilovers, then wheels, a decent KADE that I will possibly boost, then who knows from there.)

Thanks man, I've been having a great time with her since this morning. Its been a while since I've worked on any car besides my mother's jeep and it feels great.

Well, just got done pulling out the axle, which went very smoothly. But I also came across a few more things that i don't know what to do. Pics:This ring fell out as i removed the axle:Could someone tell me whats it called? where it goes and where to get one?

This is the mess I'm stuck with now:And a close up:

[ashibah83]

Could someone tell me whats it called? where it goes and where to get one?

that looks like the clamp that holds on the CV boot, you dont need new one with new axles

[S13Joe]

Thanks for the info, any 2nd opinions anyone? I'm trying to get this done within the next two days unless I have to wait for parts.

[White Comet]

[S13Joe]
