So I bought another car back in February of this year. I do still have the 240, I bought this car for purely drifting and nothing more. I obviously still want it to look nice as that is my favorite part of any build. I am going to attach various photos from this year relatively in order and I will of course give everyone a run down on how it was when I picked it up and what I've done so far with it.
I bought the car without wheels, Front seats, Seat belts, Steering wheel, headlights, tail lights, no body panels besides front fenders, hood, and trunk, a ton of interior trim was missing, no a/c, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton. The car was also in an accident and the driver front pillar was smashed. That was fixed as pictured at the end of the photos. The goal for this car is to keep it mechanically stock, retaining a/c, and still make it an enjoyable/comfortable car to drive if I wanted to drive it across country. The only upgrades I plan on making will be actual needed upgrades mechanically. Cosmetically I'm near finished with the car, I still have to put on my trunk and roof wing though. The goal is to have this car painted shortly after Halloween! For the most part I still have quite a bit I can post on the car as I continue to purchase/install more parts. Enjoy!

S13 wrote after following the 240 for years, hope this one gets nice paint LMAO good luck, amazing car The 240 will be done with tax returns! That was the original plan this year, but I found the Lexus for a decent deal. The goal is to have the lexus painted by the 12th! |

just an update! Car's painted with a few more goodies added. Friday I'll be shooting it with a buddy and I'll have a few to post! This photo doesn't do the color justice at all.
