I admire your dedication. I'd like to think I wouldn't quit halfway through and just sell off all the parts, but I probably would. Serious kudos for sticking with it and doing all that hard work by yourself. I can't wait to see how everything comes together. Quote, originally posted by tenkawa_akito » chainsaw > rooftop

Nice job so far I too admire your dedication. I hope to restore mine in future as well. I think Nissan still sells those front frame rails. I've seen someone post them up here on NICO. It might be easier/better to just get new ones (if they still sell them), cut the old ones out, and weld in the new.

Holy shiznit! Awesome work! I admire your dedication and the shell looks awesome so far. Be careful with that RB25...make sure you take the time to sort it through thoroughly before you drop it in. It will save you a sh*tload of headaches down the road. What mounts are you going to use? Might want to think about banging in the firewall where the starter will sit before you finish painting the ...

Quote, originally posted by gregfarz78 » yes it should be possible you live in texas its hot and dry there, if you lived where I do we pay a premium for a rust free 240 everything over 10 years old around here starts turning into a rust bucket unless its garage kept A lot of texas isn't really that dry. Arizona is probably one of the best states to find rust free shells sitting in it.

you know what man. you really inspire me. I just picked up a shell 2 days ago and got into an accident yesterday (good timing bad situation). I need to rebuild my entire front end (rad support, etc.). Its still driving thank God but just needs a cosmetic fix, not to mention my hood and the latch dont line up, not safe. When i get the money i'm goin to fix it right just as you are. thanks for being a great inspiration.
