Bought this hooptie in 2005 with the plans to swap an RB25DET into it. I purchased the motor first then bought the car and had a buddy drive it back from Miami florida. It is 100% rust free and bolts still come apart easily, despite the fact that it has seen lots of snow over the years. I don't have any before pictures, just imagine a stock 240sx with a dent in the rear quarter and a jacked up front fender.
Ill skip the rest of the progression and show current photos.
Exterior mods;
Shaved antenna
Front bumper has been cut to allow more intercooler airflow
Pulled rear quarter panels
Shaved the body seam under the door where the factory welds the rockers together
17x8 and 9 Stitch Riverside mesh JDM wheels, bought them trashed from jp and refinished them myself. Miserable work. 235 & 265 tires
New paint, custom color. Painted about 3 years ago by a friend, I did most of the body work. Its not perfect.
