release the hounds smitherrrrssssss.

ROUGE180 · 12-17-2008, 02:14 PM

I feel your pain when I look at that dent in the 1/4 although mine is not that bad. Ouch. 400 bucks is awesome and a rare color is awesome but maybe you should use that as a parts car and find a better base to start off with? I don't know if you have a body work hook up. You could straighten it out as much as possible and go widebody to cover some of that up. GL w/the build.

G35ttbaconboy · 12-17-2008, 02:30 PM

Very Sorry about spelling typed it very fast when i was half awake will be fixed omg everyone is telling me that i don't know what I have and not to paint it come on like today i just came back from cleaning the trunk really nasty and the color looks so purple i will be laughed at if i go to race anyone come on I don't know at this point and i have a friends that do body work and will pull it out for free without drilling

G35ttbaconboy · 12-17-2008, 02:37 PM

Sleepy240 · 12-17-2008, 02:43 PM

G35ttbaconboy · 12-17-2008, 02:52 PM

Great mentality. You're the epitome of why I hate the common 240SX owner. Buy a total piece of shit that barely runs, probably has more blown bushings than a Lincoln Town Car, brakes that more than likely are seized, and your first concern is racing it. I hope you wreck it.

pssht · 12-17-2008, 03:14 PM

please learn how to use punctuation................

you make my brain hurt.........

but keep it lavender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You racing people FATF style?! Since when does your cars color matter in a "race", let alone on the track? Also I hope your friends do some SICK work with the body cause it needs it...

Also to give you the benefit of the doubt I KBB'd it it wont even let me give it POOR condition so I gave it FAIR... And it was worth $438 soooooo yeah. I don't really think it went up a whole lot there. And not to be a totally redundant but even if I WERE going to buy a car for 400$ I probably would have passed on this

i bought my first and current 240 in immaculate condition for 1500.
i then bought a black '90, complete with a dead sohc, for 200. it had one dented fender.
but this was a few years ago. at any rate, i wouldn't have paid money for a car with quarter panel damage. good luck on the repairs, it's probably not as bad as it looks.

240SX2high2aim · 12-17-2008, 03:36 PM

Nice man finally got a 240. I know how that feels...I have been on the forums for awhile and after I finally got one I was so happy. My first 240SX had an SR20 and a type X body kit it was clean and had no problems wats so ever and I loved it. After awhile of owning it I had to sell it becuz my parents saw me doing donuts in it...and they thought the car was unsafe. So then I didnt have a 240SX for awhile and then I got another 1 for 2500 after driving it for awhile I started to discover that the breaks were dying and there were problems occurring in it. So I partially gutted it and am in the process and I am going to take this project slow and easy and make it to a nice ass 240 that I am proud to drive and people can look up to. Welcome to Zilvia and hope you find these resources and build threads very helpful to you. I learn a lot from this site and nico heres a link 4 a few pointers and good luck.

Also that 240SX looks too messed up to work on it...in the long run it would have been cheaper to buy another 240SX in better condition and use this one for some parts or something. Also in this game if you sell your car and you modified it you will loose most of the money you have invested in your car and will not get nearly as much when selling just thought you should know and I am not trying to be rude...again>>>good luck and welcome

Are you related to the OP by chance?

bigOdom1 · 12-17-2008, 04:03 PM

i really like the lavendar, but that car is beat down like whitney houston when bobby cant get a fix. i would not even waste my time pushing it off a cliff. you are the epitome of a fanboy. close you mouth and read the forum for a couple months. get used to searching for things. and dont start a new thread, i guarantee it has been covered (probably three times by RDM). oh and if you decide to post a reply, an attempt at good grammar will go a long way towards having someone help you.

S13_Nightkid · 12-17-2008, 04:21 PM

from the look of the pics your it might have some mean ass rust on the frame rails. Be careful.

I got an 87 celica ST for $400 last july. Body had work done some time in its life, and the interior was pretty good for its age... 5 speed and leaked oil from the cam seal, but it ran like a top.

I would do like others said and use that as a parts car. I dunno about you, but I like frame rails. They keep me from getting smooshed in an impact.

Contrary to popular ricer belief, having your frame rails rot away does not count as weight reduction.

lflkajfj12123 · 12-17-2008, 04:50 PM

not gonna lie

you should probably get legally emancipated from your mother

for letting you buy / drive that piece of shit

and you should probably gut the interior to take a look

i'm 80% sure you have a hole rusted through your passenger floor board

After re-reading his post, if your mom drives a G35 why in HELL would she let you buy something in such bad shape? Obviously she has enough money that you don't need a 400$ shell...

Also to be constructive, I'm sure there is rust, I would definitely take a look under the car and make sure the frame rail is straight as others have pointed out. You may also want to look into the floor pan etc.

jdminspiredcd7 · 12-17-2008, 05:19 PM

well for your how many cans question,it takes 30 cans to do a full outside job, not including inside the doors,trunk gutter thing, or under the hood. get the dollar flat blck cans from walmart and you could have a $30.00 dollar paint job like this

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