1989 Nissan 240sx Hatch Back My drift car/ Daily Driver
My car was probably destined for the junk yard. heres a quik list of things wrong.
Blown rear strut
non functioning right auto seat belt
mirror control broken
dented up front end
worn tires
drivers window wouldnt roll down
ebrake dont really work
A/C didnt work
radio was broken
lighter didnt work
heater didnt work or even blow air
And found a melted up fuse box
Engine blew after 3 months

So I fixed all the smaller things with JY parts.
and started my cars build. On a budget

$2000.00 threw a rod, had to rebuild the SOHC so I could get to work (new cranks and some other stuff)
$800 Body kit mounted, painted and minor dents fixed.
$370 body kit from Fat Boy Garage
$300 I bought used KYB adjustable struts with RSR springs
$300 bought a Ebay VLSD
$200ish BREMBO slotted rotors up front with HAWK raceing pads
$20 Drift knob
$80 set of junk yard rims
$80 strut tower bars
$80 ASPEC muffer
$100 exhaust line
$0 Welded diff
$0 removed the AC
REDLINE MT90 in the tranny
new oxegen sensor, used EGR from junk yard, all new fluids after every 2 drift/auto cross events, alignments,system flush,new stock radiator came with rebuild

the car also started out silver. Then I went to white. Then I went all black. And finally settled on Blue (07 FJ cruiser, Voodoo Blue)
