yea I gotta see

I am pissed today. Its been the first day in very long time were I have nothing to do after work and its raining. Can't finish painting the other wheel. Plus I wanted to get started on stripping he interior out to prep it for sound deadening removal, sanding, and primering the inside of the car white.

well at least my spl parts will be in anyday now. I am going to ask my uncle if I can rent out a spot in his garage for the winter its heated and he has a full shop in there so I can take my time and be super anal retentive about everything

ok heres a decent update found the pics for the other day...



this is what the car looked like before i got started.. now time for the deconstruction...

Image


here is the rear all stripped out. I did this awhile ago

Image



bye bye seats and center console

Image




bye bye hud steering wheel and etc...

Image



yea I managed to fuck this up in the process

Image


moar pics and stuff

Image



Image





bye bye dash!
Image



Wiring is actually really clean looks like its never been fucked with so I am going to leave it alone besides eliminating things like the shitty security system and rear speakers, wiper, and antenna wiring.

Image


Image



only problem I found is a common one when ppl wire up head units...

hack job..
Image


just gonna go through and put butt connectors in (aka the right way) i mean really is using butt connectors really that hard????



fucking sound deadener!

Right now I am not sure about what i am going to do with the carpet and dash. I would like an uncracked black dash. As for the cartpet I could either A. Dye it B. Buy a black carpet or C. no carpet and just rhino liner the foot wells. Right now I am leaning towards C. The back is staying bare. I am going to strip all of the sound deadener and then power sand it and primer it white. As well as cut out any un-needed metal like the rear speaker brackets. As well as weld up any holes and maybe weld in some boxes for support.

just wait till its done next spring

its gonna be sooo fucking clean! cut, sanded and primered! its gonna look like the inside of a race car.


And AGAIN! this is not my first 240sx or drift car build. I am just demonstrating how it should be done for newbies.

when this is finished I expect it to be stickied for all newbies to see and follow.

^um no, i dont think it should. because that just your style. if that were the case, then most builds should be stickied because there are many different styles. anyway, nice job, and good update. keep it up.
