now im wanting a 240 project car....I wished i had gotten a 240 instead of that damn altima, they were sitting side by side at the used dealership. altima had a fresh paint job and less miles though.

finally!
got 100% of the sound deadening out today and finally had time to drill out all the spot welds and remove the useless rear seat brackets.
also, rather than overwhelming myself and spending way to much money in one season, i decided to the leave the car gray for now and stick with stock fenders. Otherwise id be spending $2K+ on wheels. $1.5K on fenders another $1K at least on paint. Im going to finish up the interior how i want it right now, get some good fitting wheels for stock body, then buy aero and focus on my motor build.
also ordered my OMP Corsica wheel last night and will be ordering seatbelts from the JDM S13 next week prob. because im ditching all the automatic seatbelt crap, and dont feel like buying harnesses this season.

ive been meaning to update, just havent had much time. I picked up another job so im work 40-60 hours a week now.
ive been trying to pay off my CC's and other debt while also stacking some parts at the same time.
got a couple parts in already which ill take pics of soon.
and now im going start going through my chassis harness and de-pinning everything that i wont need.
also waiting for my buddy to get a new tank for his welder so that we can patch all the holes. (there was 1 rust hole on the firewall, and about 2 or 3 on the floor, and theres a bunch of small holes because i had to drill out all the spot welds to get the back seat brackets off.
then i can finally finish painting the interior, i dont want to buy to many parts for it yet because i dont have much room to keep them so i want to get them in the car as soon as they come. (which i obviously dont want to do until its all painted)

oh, and the rims i was looking at got sold the day before i was gonna go pick them up
so im looking at my options for rims too.
thinking about Wedsport SA-70's, i just need to see if the sizing i want is available.
i really want meisters but i dont wanna drop a ton of cash on them in stock body sizing because i will more than likely get overfenders in the future and then theyll fit like ____.
