my project

Well here is my project
When I got it the front pass side was smashed
the plan is a full wide body kit front fenders are going on right now then I will make the rears I want to put a GP style front and rear bumper on or I will make them is im not too lazy I put a 240sx dash in the car and am now just working on making it fit right but have to do some wiring first as its getting the T2 wireing harness for the 6 port turbo that will hopefully be done by next summer I have sparco seats for it and Im planing on covering all the trim pieces in carbonfiber the list goes on and gets added to just as often as I get to check things off of the list lol

The Spyder - Very sweet. I'd love to do a 20B sometime.

LT8TurboII - The compliments are probably because yours is clean and well done.. too many of them are just hacked in there good enough to fit..

Oni-kyan - Very interesting.. why are you switching over to a 240 dash? Just for something different, or you had one laying around? be sure to throw some pictures up when you get further along.


Everyone has already seen my car.. There will be more interesting things to look at after this winter

Oh no worries, that motor was trashed. The one thats in the car now has been built with new housings and all...completely different motor. But I understand, people could get the wrong idea about plugging everything to make sure no grit gets into the motor.

When a swap is done as clean as yours... there is nothing to complain about! Looks AWESOME!! I have seen many v8 swaps, and had a v8 in a GXL a few years ago and still i dont think ive seen one done as nicely as yours. That T56 tranny has gotta be fun in that little car! I dreamed of having a T56, but couldnt afford it so I was an auto TH350. I was building a 383 stroker for the GXL that i have now, but I think im just going to sell the GXL and work on getting my TII running. I cant afford both projects.

Your car is sweet, and deserves the compliments. Even on a rotary forum like this one.

I think I'm the only person going backwards. I just haven't started the rebuilding process yet.
The first two are the day I bought it (out of a junkyard). The last two are approx. what it looks like now.
