Reviving a junky s13
Hey everyone.
Picked up my first Nissan the other day. It's a 1992 240sx hatch.
I paid $1300 for the car in running condition. However it blew 2 coolant hoses on the way home
And here is the 240.
God, it is ugly. However, it has a perfectly straight body, and it's white like I wanted.
It has been moleste...I mean modded a bit.
KYB shocks
Vogtland springs
No name exhaust
All red tails
JWT popcharger
Check out the mexi wheel.
Pulling the intake manifold to replace all coolant hoses. More of a bitch than I thought it would be!
So far, I have replaced or am replacing:
-Valve cover gasket
-Coolant hoses
-Fuel lines
-Replaced gutted trunk with nice carpet
I have only done two "mods" since I am concentrating on making it run nice first.
TRM shift knob:
And this cool rear strut bar. I didn't even need thing damn thing, but it was cheap and I was hungry for some Varsity .
My plans are:
Clean Origin Kit
Aggressive fitment 18" wheels
New white paint
Restore interior to near new condition
Make the current KA reliable while I can build another KA independently.
I'm not even getting insurance on the car until I am happy with how it looks and runs. I don't want to be another one of those 240's running around with 5 exterior colors and quarter panel damage with pink wheels
No offense
I will update regularly, so see you next post
