I love the pile of wire left on the old welds. Quality.

I’ve seen a couple in the wild usually driven by someone’s grandfather or grandmother. They’re great looking cars. I had 2 89 hatch pignose models. First one had 220k when I bought it. Learned to drive stick in that car cross country from CA to NC. Only got rid of it because I found a cleaner one with an uncracked…

Oh my. The dust in this cubical. Those are NOT tears....

I’ve owned 2 240's. The rust is real! Loved those cars... Would love to own another but the drift tax is also real lol

This car reminds me of my first marriage. My heart wanted it, my brain said nah hold off but I did it anyway and as it went along I kept finding problems and spending money to fix them.  Until I finally offloaded that headache at a loss.  But damn I much happier now lol

The mental burden and slow decline that comes from letting a project sit for months or years. Harrowing stuff, glad this one made it.

Umoja has the patience of a saint or at least my wife!

Good for him! He went through hell for a car he loved.

Dude may be my new idol

So, after all that work on the most plainest vanilla Franken car ever made, he drives while texting and blames the car for the outcome? “Sadly, the nose of the car went under the rear of a Jeep Commander in March” Or was the car just out cruising by itself looking for trouble?   Trouble seems to find it ok without…

FWIW Now you have a gone over car that should last you many miles. My girlfriend drives an earlier 240sx that she’s had for some 15 years. It just turned 250k miles. She’s had remarkably few problems other than wear items. The body is well bent due to multiple small altercations, the interior is pretty much non…

Man, after talking with you (Umoja) about 240's multiple times it’s nice to see this and get a solid idea of what you have done to revive this thing. Admittedly, you have done considerably more than I would to save a car. The furthest I’ve gone is saving a 90 hatch with a seized KA. Swapped in my SR that I had and…

Oops, my disparaging comments were intended for the previous owner- not you.Sorry

My dad and his friend bought a fixer-upper boat from a dentist named Henry. After finding countless bad repairs the previous owner had done - including using dental material to patch holes - they named the boat Oh Henry! because they yelled it several times during the restoration. 

Tip car on the side gently -> Weld horizontally!

Damn son! You are a better man than I for not burning it to the ground but more importantly for not going back to his house with a bat, 2 shovels, a friend that can keep a secret and 100 lbs. Of quick lye. But I am from NJ so......

I understand the buyer beware thing but something like this is next level shady. Most used cars have small things that you find after the purchase like power window or door lock that does not work or a radio that only plays AM channels that the seller “forgot” to mention. But this... Selling a car that is unfit to…

Man, I loved those cars back in the day (but the convertibles weren’t my faves. Sorry). Didn’t know anything about them back then but they looked amazing to me. Glad to see someone put in the effort to keep one of them running.

Has anyone cross-checked his DNA against David Tracy’s? I wonder if they’re twins separated at birth (though the lack of soul-crushing rust makes me think distant cousin is perhaps a likelier scenario).
