yea its a 10x20 in size but im moving to a 10x30 garage unit with a lot more space to put my motor in and have more space to store 240sx parts that i hoard

akamal92 · 02-09-2014, 05:14 PM

So a couple weeks ago i made an order for new hatch carpet trimming and stuff like that along with some other parts that are cool to have that are oem. Also today i got my car ready for its new wheels by throwing on my new rear rebuilt calipers and rotors along with bleeding the brake system with new DOT 5 Silicone brake fluid for better stopping power. It does not absorb water like regular fluid and it has a boiling point of 550 degrees. Its also purple in color which i thought was pretty cool too.

So here is some of the new interior hatch trims pieces i got

Left side

Right side

Rear Tail lamp cover

New sunroof seal

New sunvisors and clips (no more flopping)

]

New door hinge pins, hinge bushings, and striker no more sagging doors.

I also will be going to pick up something nice from my friend Brett tomorrow of his pretty teal thing cant wait lol so stay tuned for more pictures of what it will be. here is a picture of his pretty cars just for the hell of it

it is one of the hardest things to do when putting together one of these cars

ferrariowner123 · 02-11-2014, 11:22 PM

You're attention to detail is impeccable! Replacing parts that no one would most likely ever see!

Also, i had a question about the dying process, could you go a little more in depth about the process and how its done or who i should contact to have something similar done?

Thanks, love the build man, cant wait to see what OEM order you have planned next...

Slippin'eight-nine · 02-11-2014, 11:39 PM

I was just gonna say this build reminded me of that Teal car with all the hard to find Oem seals and what not..and BOOM! It appears! Hahaha
He is probably a good resource for all the random rare item numbers.
I also really like the BMW reds! They seem to have some of the most clean and pure red colors. Meaning no orangeish tints!

Konster · 02-19-2014, 10:18 PM

Like that you are buying oem interior pieces. I actually was looking to buy 240sx interior door handles and covers. Unfortunately they were sold out, then I remembered 300ZX handles and covers are indelicate so I spend a little over a bill on those. Really makes a difference.

I was wondering if you can get your hands on a new hazard switch?

supersayianjim · 03-02-2014, 01:17 PM

so i have an 1989 240sx right. i had the automatic seatbelts that i swapped in place with some s14 seatbelts from the junkyard.i would like a new pair. can you get the part numbers for the front right and left seatbelt(themselfs) assembly in black?? thank you.

DILLONDILLONDILLON! · 03-27-2014, 08:32 AM

I can tell you are learning a lot from Brett,
one of the most meticulous, detail sensitive individuals I know.
Definitely a good group of cars to model yours after.
Loving the process and the attention to detail you are putting into your build.
Just don't go crazy like he did!

Alan240sx · 09-03-2014, 08:07 PM

Your build has truly amazed me.

S13MATT · 09-04-2014, 10:27 AM

Awesome build bro, keep it up! I'm loving all those new OEM pieces.
