i want meshies like i want punani right now. lol. Nah just a mild rings/headgasket rebuild kinda thing. The motor thats in it now is gonna be a bulletproof forged internals at 8.5:1 CR with a fat snail strapped to it. Possibly a gt32 or something... but my old motor will be put back in with rings, new front cover and timing chain, and a headgasket.

sounds like a good idea. i have the money to do things at the moment but I have no idea what I want to do. so far I'm either doing the RB or LSx engine. I have a ka-t manifold from ssac topmount (yea I know its ssac but you can reinforce the welds) and i'll sell it to you if you want? haha

lol, you ever seen the amount of money it takes to stuff that motor in there? the 10k for the motor...then all the fab work to actually get everything to work... rb20 or 25 is your friend. an rb20 is almost a direct swap, and is much cheaper than a sr20.. they both make the same hp stock, but the rb is like 700$ cheaper. and 8.5:1...... booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooost. do it. more pics too plz. you say you had some custom interior work done, so lets see it. also show pics of drivers side.... does this have the normal 240sx cancer? or did you fix the problem with the rust under the stock spoiler?

Im still tryin to get my camera from my buddy. He and his fiance had a kid a couple months back, and he has a wierd hereditary skin condition called ED. Im not sure what it stands for, cuz i cant pronounce it... but hes been usin my camera to document his crap. Anyways, I can show you some of the pics of the interior work i did. And as far as the cancer, the car is about 100% rust free. It originally had the hatch cancer, but i replaced it with a wingless hatch. Unfortunately i wont be able to get any good pics of the car because its on the trailer still. Anyways, heres some pics of its progression through life.

Then theres a big pause here while i prepped it to be painted and fix the body. Meanwhile i made custom tails //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I also smoked the turn signals

That side of the car has since been painted, and the fender amputated. lol.

So heres some of the custom interior stuff.

My tails are in the process of me smokin em. RX-7 style!!

So thats a short timeline of her life with me....
