oh and sand it with like 1000 sandpaper to give it a smooth finish and a bit of gloss..LOL..

that shit looks sick man i want the silvia nose soon

SERIOUSLY SPELL CHECK AND PUNCTUATION!!!!

Your gonna paint it without fixing any of the body damage?!

[BustedS13]

advice.

go to the junkyard and get both fenders and a door. this would cost like fifty bucks around here, your mileage may vary. this will be less bodywork later. replacing a panel is easier than bondoing it. pick up some seven spokes while you're there.
while you're at it, might as well get a chuki bumper since they look waaaaay better (OOOH TAKE THAT PIGNOSE). don't forget the extensions.

when you get filler from autozone, don't get Bondo, spend a few bucks more and get Dynalite. it's a much better product, in my opinion.

that rust looks nightmarish, at least on passenger rocker. if the rails are similar, i'd honestly just try to sell the car for what i paid. if the rails are solid, i'd go ahead and cut out the rust with a cutting wheel and get somebody to weld in some sheet. then i'd paint over the mess with rustoleum and cover it with some canadian side skirts. the rest of the rust doesn't look truly awful... you could probably get away with fiberglass bondo and mesh.



don't get a quart, just go ahead and get the gallon.

i'm about to start redoing bodywork on my 240.. ugh. TAKE YOUR TIME and do it right the first time. DO NOT rush your work, or the results will suck as bad as what you already have. i did all the work on my car when i was 18, and it really, really shows.

Orly? Pics or Fail.

Fuck it, let's just cut to the chase.

Why do people buy beat ass cars for cheap, when it would be cheaper just to pay a little more for a cleaner car. "I only paid 400 bucks", just wait till you start to try and fix everything, this thing will be a money pit.

[clark]

uhh does that thing even run????

jesus what a piece of shit

lavender is ok...but goddamn. loosen the purse strings a little.

and fucking learn to write. at least I won't feel bad about another crashed 240 when you "drift" into your friends. you remind me of this kid i knew in high school with a sohc that kept challenging me and my 88 M3 to "races" until he smashed his control arms into a curb.

poor car already has cancer and aids, now with you it's gonna get polio.

[ESmorz]

Rattlecanning and especially flat black just screams I don't care enough about my car to give it a real paint job. I mean seriously for $300 you can have a decent paint job.

It's pathetic that you care about getting laughed at.

It's more pathetic that people will actually be laughing at you, not your car.

QFT. i got my s13 2 years ago when i was 17. Bought it for 1300. Spent about 2 grand on it and its still pretty much stock.

To the OP 400$ is cool and everything, but when the car collapses on jack stands because of the rusty underbody or throws a rod, etc. Youll be thinking in the back of your head saying WTF? Why did I buy this shit again?

[ESmorz]

Yo dawgy homie.

Wanna race?

What's the retail on one of those?

[G35ttbaconboy]

When its done all u people will eat your words so far i only spent 490 im adding it up. when im done i will post pics along the way and give a total. U all shall see i put that on my grave unless i die which i know most of u hope happens to me but.

[S14Bahu]

If he even considers that telling him to spell check and use proper grammar is completely in vain.

[G35ttbaconboy]

Can someone recommend a good clutch to buy for about 100 bucks do not want any thing crazy hard but firm. my bro is telling me to buy a factory clutch but i never drove one that was new is it very firm cause since i drove my dads mx-6 turbo wit a raceing clutch i fell in love with it

[shift_240_s13]

keep that shit

[ericcastro]

The car as is will be worth double what you will get for a dented up and rusty flat black car.

Rattle canning your car will not do shit for its looks, or make you a street racer.
It will make you a ricer.

If you leave the lavender frost, like you should, it will get respect at meets and throughout the 240 community as a whole. Its an original Lavender frost S13 with a trunk rack. I would keep it that way or sell/trade for a piece of shit you can rattle can and drift into a parked car.

doing a SOHC swap to DOHC is a waste of time and money. Its about 10 HP but lower compression. My SOHC is actually faster than the DOHC's on the track.

First thing you should do is return the paint, and buy a new oil filter and oil right away.
Oil change
flush the brake fluid
replace master cylinder for clutch
clean entire engine and watch for leaks over the next week
replace spark plugs
check brake lines for cracks
check fuel lines for cracks
look for worn bushings
flush radiator


thats where your money should go.
Once that stuff is done, the car will be with you long enough for you to start having bodywork done.

Silvia front
bodywork done
repaint lavenderfrost (leave door jams and under the hood the original lavender frost)
coil overs
18"/17" stagered Vienna Dish rims

think about it
VIP rims on a dumped, original lavenderfrost S13 coupe.
Can anyone say Team Burst???


But hey, fuck the maintenece and paint it flat black then.

This kid is amazing! Also if this is what your "actual" car looks like, I would HATE to see what kind of condition your parts car is in. I almost would find it hard to believe it could be in any worse shape...
