Well, I figured me and my picture whore self would start a build thread on my TR typical 240. I'm not done yet, actually I'm far from done. I'm still not sure if I'm going to do a legit paint job on it, or just rattle can. I think if I go through the bother of getting the core support straightened out, it might get real paint. I'm not sure just how much money will be spent.


The night I picked it up-


There's a bag on the window because the driver's side window regulator was busted. I already took care of that.


And day 1 of work began. I took out almost all of the interior to clean it out. It's easier to work on a clean car imo.




Primer on some spots to see what I have to work with

This pic shows all 4 colors it has. It was originally white, then spray painted black. The hood and driver fender came from a red car, and I'm using grey primer. Extra TR points!


The next day-

Zipties are more drift/TR points!

The interior came back together

Then I figured out I had a busted passenger side front hub. I'm still looking for one btw.

This is pretty much how it sits right now. I'm going to be putting in a new steering rack today. I might work on the paint also.

 

what the fuck happened to that hub?

 

One lug was missing for a long time, and I guess the extra stress on the opposite side made it crack a little. Then when I tried to remove it, it got really tough and then it made a loud snap. I guess that's where the the big chunk broke off.

 

ballin TR style!!

good work D, looks like it's coming together nicely so far, interior looks great!

 

lol Thanks. That interior cleaning is the work of 9-10 years of detailing experience. My dad started my young on that and it really sticks with me. Dirty interiors make me cringe.

 

what is this car going to be used as/for???

 

Well, my mom wants it for a DD because she always complains about gas for her truck. So once it's driveable, she'll probably do that. And it's mostly hers. I own about half of it. So once I turn 16 and get a job, I'll pay her what she has in it (a couple hundred), then I'll use it to lurn how to drift gud.

 

LOL at 10 years of detailing experience.

 

lol It's true. He started teaching me things when I was 5-6. I remember he made me use armor all wipes on an old Supra Celica he had. Memories <3

 

Armor all is a fail product.

I dont really consider that detailing but to each his own i guess.

Good luck with the project.
