couple of weeks ago i started prepping the car for the shop

[Surge]

a closer inspection of the car i found some disturbing news i have large rust holes along the chassy rails


this is the biggest one i can fit my whole hand thou it


this one on the inside of the car


and of coarse no 240sx is complete with out ghettoizing something
this is a huge peace of metal rusting away with some kind of epoxy

[Surge]

@ the shop
he is stiffing up the car by spot welding the car at ever few points or more flex areas

[Surge]

since there wasn't anything to do i decided its time to do all the little thing i wanted to do. like clean up and re-paint all my accessories

here are some i did last night i forgot my cam so i don't have any before and after pics but trust me they were rusty as hell

now there nice clean


here kinda the process what i did
i went to vatozone to pick up some of that 500 degrees motor paint eer whatever ive tried this stuff before and its ok but sticks better with primer thats is designed for this time of usage

this is the high temp primer looks like when its sprayed on


i let is sit for about an hour till it dryed and sprayed the actual high temp paint added about three cotes looks much better in person and feels so smooth


i also did my intake manifold


here my dirty ass tranny and i had cleaned it before so i went round 2 on its ass


now its clean... sort of :/


i did the same thing as before
primed it up


new paint added
and now looks like this


im very happy the way all of this turned out

[Surge]

more spot welding you cant see much cuz of all the shavings here is more spot welding
this is the inside of the behind the driver seat


here is the finished product of the strut tower area


under the dash back side of the fire wall


chasi rails
this was a hard pic to take but both sides are spot welded


tranny tunnel

[Surge]

roll bar should be here in a week (not in stock)

i orderd some WORK Equips
18x9 + 5
18x10 +13



thats it for now

what do ya think?

[Clarkbar]

Holy fuck!!! I can't wait to see that beast on the road A++ on build man!

[eh me leo]

[killakingquan]

guess ima have to convice brandon to show me laredo lol

[Surge]

well there isnt much to do here but if you ever come down we'll have some beers

thanks again everyone

[killakingquan]

well there isnt much to do here but if you ever come down we'll have some beers

thanks again everyone


oh he said there places yall used to drift but not the one place where the guy was shooting at him not sure if u was there or not

[Camo]

laredo sucks minus what surge is doing in his garage. thats about it unless you know somebody...

[Cattman]

hah ballin ass wheels. haulin ass with class

[Surge]

well there isnt much to do here but if you ever come down we'll have some beers

thanks again everyone


oh he said there places yall used to drift but not the one place where the guy was shooting at him not sure if u was there or not


yeah i was there someone slammed into a 18wheeler... the guy came out and stated shooting and we all bailed scary shit

as for the spot it sucked 2nd gear only real small place

all tho there is awesome spots if we can get permission but there isn’t anyone anymore with 240's to even attend much less pay the guy off

we also have abanded airport but I wouldn’t even know where to start

that would be a sick skid pad

there is also a massive secret BMW track where they test drive all the new cars but its guarded

[adrianz31]
