Not another 240sx build... well gents. iv been working on this 240sx i got as a payment for a drift car build i did for someone and iv finally gotten to the point where i can start posting up some progress. the car was pretty much dead bone stock right down to the air box intake. so we started off with stripping the car completely right down to the sheet metal. im shooting for 2200hp alot of you will laugh thats fine, i do this for a living though and 2200 really is nothing to me when you see 6000+hp cars pull into the shot every day. so anyways we began the stripping process.
the car on the left is the one being used in this project.
dont worry that body kit is long gone!
i was absolutely amazed when i saw there was almost no rust on this s13 chassis as they are highly known for that in my area with the harsh winters
basically you wont be seeing the motor until next season. my goals are as followed, build the chassis first (expected to be done by the beginning of 2012 season) then build the motor (expected to be done by the end of the 2012 season) then rip the entire thing apart and send it off to paint. (expected to be done for the first burnout of the 2013 season) unfortunately this is not a customer car so i cannot work on it whenever i need to. between working my full time day job and my nights and weekends out of my own shop ill need to find the time to stick a few late nights here and there to get this baby cooking the tires off sooner then later. honestly i can have the hole car done in about 4 weeks front start to finish but between bills time and beer thats just not possible. so sit back and enjoy this longer then normal term relaxed top sportsman build!
