    I scooped up a long abandoned 240SX with an SR20DET swap from an old buddy for a cool grand! The goal is to get this thing fired up for the first time since the Iphone 1 came out! Watch as we dig through layers and layers of trash, animal waste and a ton of nature's metal candy:RUST!

    a 240 with an intact front bumper? it should be in a museum.

      Funny you say that, i bought a 92 red 240sx absolute mint condition in 98 from a car lot for $5900 and within a year fell asleep at the wheel and ran into the back of a 80 ford f100 doing 80mph - totalled my car out nearly, all it did to the truck was scratch the back bumper alittle and bent it down slightly. In my ignorant youth i kept adding water and driving it leaking through the rad. Until it run dry and blowed the motor up.

    First - Tony is the man. Second, having watched a number of these "will it runs" and dealt with a few abandoned vehicles myself, when (WHEN???) will people learn that a leaf blower is your best friend? Leave that pig outside, mask up/goggle up and blow away. Then you can use a shop vac (if needed) or shop air. But 99% of what you need to do can be done outside with a leaf blower (inside the car, too), electric or gas, in less than 5 minutes, and the rest of the journey is far less miserable. Also, can we talk about the Pontiac on the lift? GXP?

I miss my old drifting buds and all my s-chassis; it's a bit sad to see what time and negligence can do to an S13 but glad this one's with you my guy. I'm 40 now and dont have a project car but I still got the itch. Hopefully I can go sideways again before I die.

    I snagged a 87k mile 93 convertible about a year ago that didn't run right for $3k. Zero rust, bone stock, excellent overall shape. The reason it didn't run right ended up being a disconnected ground for the fuel pump. Intermittent contact led to intermittent running. It's solved and runs like new now. Anyway, if you need a car that's basically all original (save for coilovers, wheels/tires, and an exhaust) as a reference, holler. I'm not too far from your Pottstown shop, I could bring it by on a Saturday or something.
