240sx Face-lift

Here is my 1989 Nissan 240sx project car; I bought this car with the intent to over time rip it apart and revamp it while using it as a daily driver. I set my goal to first of all gut the interior followed by ditching all the noise dampening material. To where I am at right now, in the process of sanding the rear hatch area and prep it for paint. Eventually I will be replacing the front fenders, then start the big sand down of the entire exterior then prep it for paint then paint it. I shall take pictures of the process if I remember to.




12LB'S of useless dampening garble!

Blech

I hope you dont sink "too" much money into that thing corey, just incase you decide to go another direction

So far all I've spent on it is the $13 for sandpaper/spray paint. By far the funnest thing to drive.

First thing you should do is get a hold of some new fenders.

That is near future plans.

If you ever need some help, I can help you out, I got nothing to do currently until I get a new job.

corey like i told the guy you bought the car from. ill weld the fenders properly and hammer the weld flat for minumial cash. but you gotta take all that cheese fibergless off that he put the fenders together with. and fyi i have about enough parts to build that car twice over lol. but unfortunatly i dont have a front bumper re-bar for ya..... so don't hit anything with it haha. PM me if you need anything lol.... like paint.....

Hey, Yeah i took a magnet too the fender to see what was actually metal and what was bondo thats about the time i realized its all freaking fiberglass. So what your saying is you could get the fenders to line up perfect?

Tomorrow i hope to get the interior hatch area painted then after that the entire exterior is next on the list.

Browsing used regina and came across this Sparco seat decided to scoop it up, it has no tears and is mint fresh!

i love that seat
and i wore my shoes into that guys basement
and that black kid was scary

Awesome, how much did that cost you?

well im not sure about "prefect" but i can sure do a shit load better than fiberglessing 2 pieces together. he did a shit job of overlaping and everything he touched. im sure i could get it looking almost factory. ive done worse and had it come out looking a million times better..... just look at my car lol. rust bucket *cough* PM me if you wanna talk pricing and what not if ur interested. it would prolly take me a week or 2 if you peel fiberglass off for the most part. thatd be to weld grind smooth and bondo out best possible surface.... and god forbid the hammer and dolly *shudder* either way PM me if you want more info. i should be getting argon tank for my welder this week
