Thanks bro! I'm trying the "do it right the first time method" lol

Like I said before, interior will be left in tact. Picked up some zeta 3's even though I kind've wish I just went with some oem 180sx seats.

Obviously need a Nardi classic to continue that cookie cutter theme

And a cross bar for the extra scene points...But seriously hoping this adds some rigidity to the car since I'm not running some fancy cage

Since the car came with the Silvia front I had to pick up some pop up headlights. I got a set for cheap but of course they're old and seen better days so I sourced some new hardware. Kind've crazy you can still get new parts for this car, thanks to the boys at nissanparts.

New vs old

Came so close to giving up on this car and parting it out for something else but decided I should just stick with it. Luckily I've got some good friends that talked me out of it. Plan is to place the engine in there next so I can see how much room I need to make for the CD.

Also sourced the rest of the exterior bits for the car.

Had some time today to finally drop the engine in for a test fit. Now I can get a better idea on where I need to clear the trans tunnel. Overall super happy with how it sits in there. Dying to order more parts and get it going. Debating on selling the Subaru to fund this car. It would really help push it over the finish line.

Little end of the year update. Decided to list up the sti for sale a few weeks ago to free up some space/money for the 240. Luckily lined up a buyer in the first 24 hours it was listed and got my full asking price.

I started looking around for someone willing to tackle the paint and body work on the 240. I was kind've surprised a couple shops I talked to weren't interested in any restoration work. I guess it worked out because while waiting to hear back from a few different options I spotted a MK4 Supra for sale.

I've wanted one of these cars for roughly 6 years now. Right around the same time the price on them skyrocketed. I was getting married, having a couple kids so it just didn't work out for me then. Then I saw this one owner, all original car pop up and knew it was now or never. It's a usdm n/a auto car with only 51k miles. I still can't believe I was able to find one un molested and not missing anything. The car feels like an absolute time capsule.

It needs a little paintless dent removal and a good detail but overall for its age it's in excellent condition. For now I'm just going to enjoy it as is while I acquire the parts I want for it. Will be pretty basic, 97-98 headlights/taillights, front lip yada yada. And then eventually GTE/6 speed swap.

For now the 240 will go on the back burner unfortunately. But I still would like to keep it for my son or daughter. Hoping at least one of them will be a car nut like me.

Happy New Year guys!
