drift4life's pignose coupe restoration. (ka24de-R coming soon)
well i guess now that i've got some money i can really get started on my car.
CAR:
1990
240sx coupe
sohc
5spd
193k miles
MODS:
dohc swap. (unsure i might just rebuild my sohc)
agx adjustable struts (will replace later with coilovers)
well this doesn't seem like much but its gonna be a low $ project.
PICS:

^ that was my faught
i bought the car for $2500. the pictures dont do the body or interior justice. they both are very clean. and those are the only reason i paid that much for it. clean 240's seem hard to come by.
i will try to keep this updated but due to lack of money flow i might not be able to keep the project moving as planned.

Looks good, man! Looks like my car, but mine is a hatch. I got mine with the front lip, too!
When are you planning to do the DOHC swap?
I am on a low budget build, too. I am not plannin much for it, I just want to do what I can the right way the first time. Hope you can do the same.
Update this thread when you can.

the reason i was thinking of doing a dohc swap is because my engine is far from reliable. with 194,000ml on it. and im gonna weld a spare diff for drifting but keep my open for autox
