***Please move to builds section, sorry for the inconvenience***
Well it has been a while since ive first purchased my 1997 240sx and I figured id post a semi proper build thread since my first post has made much more progress.
Well i picked this bad boy up in January of 2012 from a guy in Delaware for 4200 bucks. Stock SE, auto, non abs, 13X,XXX miles 2 owners ... pretty good condition... no rust. And the guy was planning to swap an s14 sr in it so that came home with me too. However upon inspection the SR head was missing all kinds of shit, and honestly wasnt wanting an SR anyway. So I ended up parting that out to help get my 5 speed swap and some coilovers and what i had left to start building a spare KA i had bought locally (ended up being total junk
). So with that said over many long nights, spending money left and right, and countless drunken stoopers heres where its at...
