My 240sx HB Making progress.....again - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

S.Milone · 05-17-2007, 07:33 PM

Ok so this is my project. I plan on going crazy with this and I am into rediculas parts. So follow if you like on my journey to hell.

Lucky for my I started off with a rust free chassis from Arizona. So here we go.

I'll find some pre photos for here.

Lets start at the begining....
Gutting everything

Dry ice time.

Got the welder out and tacking everything.

For some reason, I find that statement hilarious.

S.Milone · 05-18-2007, 04:43 PM

I will try to find some old pics of it as well and will continue to add to this at the end of the day.

S.Milone · 05-18-2007, 07:38 PM

Cut out some perfectly stretched fenders.

Inner fender stretched to fill the gap and ready to weld back together.

S.Milone · 05-18-2007, 08:08 PM

Part of the cage has gone in.

Got the front suspension back in to fit up the wheels and see what has to be cut out. They are 18x10-30 with a 235/40 18

Had tires mounted on my rear wheels. Most of the suspension is in just have to get the 5 lug on. 18x12 -20 265/35 18

jh95zenki · 05-18-2007, 10:55 PM

wow, that's incredible.
what's the car going to be used for? I'm guessing drifting from seeing the stretched tires?

You sir, are a madman.

Energy drinks always a plus, coffee wtf is coffee anyways. Maniyaks do drink expresso though. Sure it may look gay drinking from such a tiny cup, but a true Maniyak doesn’t care what people think.

Holy crap.

Keep this updated.

Or I might just have to keep making bi-weekly trips to Lansdale to keep MYSELF updated!!

mtwn · 05-21-2007, 10:30 AM

Chaz glad you like my rant on what Man-i-yaks drink.

This car will be used mostly as a comp car for drifting, although it will see many hill climb days as well. I will be doing what I can to the car and keep it posted. I am going to be held up being Tim is going away for 6 mother ****ing weeks. He was welding my cage and the other metal work that is getting done. So without a welder all I can do is cut the the sections of metal out for the tubbing and have the new pieces all ready to go in. I'll get my motor all together and take pictures of that for you.

Intercooled T · 05-21-2007, 12:32 PM

Being held up by me? And it's only 5 weeks and a few days now anyway. Just get the rest of the parts you need and we can have the car doing stuff by the middle of july.
