Hey there!
My name is Brandon. I am living in LA. I used to come on here a few years ago, had to make a new account. Welcome to my build thread. Street style/early 2000's drift cars are my favorite, but I will be doing all kinds of builds. I'm going to be doing some "quick" builds first, as to flip the cars and save up for better ones! Now I'll get you up to speed with where I'm at: I picked up this 240sx recently. I had to haggle to get it for V$2500  The car came with blown coilovers. Body was straight, but the paint had gone dull and clear coat had started to fog up from sitting outside in the so-cal sun. Interior is immaculate other than the seats, which are ripped and faded. It runs... but the KA does not run healthy. So I'll have to go into troubleshoot mode and figure out if it's worth it to fix or if I need to swap a new motor in. (Which won't be anything crazy, just going to clean this car up and sell it.) So I got started. Borrowed a friend's pignose lip to test fit...  It doesn't really look right and it doesn't fit well so I'll probably just try to find a full aftermarket kit. Might as well upgrade. (And with 240 prices around here the modified ones are worth more!) Also I'll show my daily, since I'm probably going to throw a few things at it and flip it as well. Probably won't be able to resist slamming it lol.    Stupid california cars and their faded a** paint. Oh well, better than rust! So anyways, I got some replica mirrors on eBay for V$100:  Kinda cheap but they will be painted and turn out nice. Started buffing the hood and roof:   And that's where I'm at for now. Here's a to-do list: -Get it running -Buff the paint -Order new coilovers/wheels -Aero -Final cleanup/painting of aero -Post it for sale! |
