Alex Datsun Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well after waiting patiently making calls here and there finally found a shell to replace mine. ( http://community.rat...-my-first-240z/)Tomorow i shall be making a trip to go pick this thing up tomorow. My plan is to get it back to driving form by tuesday or wedsnesday at the latest. No motor or trans comes with it just simple chassis for me to get started on.What finalized my decision to swap over instead of fixing my current one is a while back i hit a curb awhile agi after inspecting it after the incident there was a gap between the tension rod mount and the frame rail big enough for me to put my finger through the opening, well after the front collision accident that gap was erasedI coped some used tires from akumazedex for my spinwerks wheels but seems one has a sidewall puncture but they'll be my.drift spares. So pretty much everthing fom my car is going onto this one coilovers, engine, trans and drieshaft,blah,blah,blah all in a two day shouldnt be a problem. Still needa grab tires for my spinwerks because im getting tired of not rocking them.Next few days are gonna feel like forever @_@ Quote Link to comment

PurePontiacKid Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 why are you throwing this one together? does it have to be your daily or something? Now's the perfect chance to refresh the whole shell and do a bunch of shit to it while it's all apart. just wondering. Quote Link to comment

Now's the perfect chance to refresh the whole shell and do a bunch of shit to it while it's all apart. just wondering. Well its a matter of a few things starting with needing a daily, not having the space (thats my homies gerrrr aj), neighbor not too happy about the car activity and not having the cash flow to actually restore it they way i would like to.

Abe Froman Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 So let me get this straight, you had a car with some front damage ( fixable ). Then you went and bought a shell that has rear damage and a giant hole in the roof? I thought maybe you were going to use the new carl for parts to fix your accident damage, but I guess not. How is this an upgrade ?????????? Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 How is this an upgrade ?????????? The engine bay isn't purple :lol: I think it also had some damage to the suspension mounting points like where the tie rods mount up. 1 Quote Link to comment

How is this an upgrade ?????????? Dear smart ass, frame is bent, tension rod mount is off, and the strut towers are uneven so thats why im swapping shells genius. As for the roof and rear bumper Im going grab that stuff from the black one. Go bash jalens thread, thanks Dat510 for actually reading some of the shit before commenting. 1 Quote Link to comment
