alero -> 240sx please look over
Thinkin about sellin the alero while it still running and buying a 240sx and then just building the 240.. any input?
01 alero with about a 3grand stereo, fiberglassed headliner and rear deck, 18inch rims, was gona make a custom body kit and fiberglass the rest of the car ( dash and doors ), eventually wanted to boost it
92 240sx, stage 2 clutch, short throw, posi rear end, front back strut bars ARE included, needs front right fender and a paint job so thats no problem ( he wants 2grand )
im tired of having to fix my alero, it needs something everytime i turn around... just fixed the waterpump, head, and 2 valves, and now im going to half to relplace the pistons and rods, and the rest of the valves are going to need replaced...im fixing it more than driving it anymore, pretty much everything is new now
granite i love my car but im sceptical about what to do...i really just dont know anymore
heres a link for the 240

 please tell me thats not the 240 your considering for the replacement?
If you want a 240 mang lemme know, i've got friends selling their built ones and shells. Gimme a budget and I'll help ya find a good one. Thats CL ad is a POS with a blown head gasket and he still has the balls to ask 2k for it.
