Hey guys!! I'm not going to be selling my SVX after all. I found a buyer for my 240sx (after buying this little number. an '00 M Coupe)
And now I'll be able to afford to keep the svx as my big, comfy daily driver. You all know how I put over 1500 into the engine getting it back to my 'spec.
And another 1500 into the seatbelt, getting it fixed.
I still need to get the tranny's wierd problem fixed, but aside from that, she's still clean as ever, and after buying new tires, we found out the old wheels are so corroded, they can't seal properly!
So, some new rims it is!
180 dollars for all 4, brand new, with lugs.
I may powdercoat them gunmetal. but that's in the future.
for now, here's a pic of the car itself (sans the new wheels. those go on in a few days)
Sadly, they're only 16x7, which isn't as wide as I'd like. But such is a small price to pay. I'm probably going to get some better wheels later, but at the moment, I needed some cheap beaters.
I love the car, and hated the idea of selling it (nearly as much as I hate the idea of selling my 240) but now I can keep her, and am very happy. Next real "mods" will be a 5 or 6 speed tranny swap, and some bigger brakes.
It's got a thoroughly clean interior (aside from the driver's seat being in crummy shape on the bolster) and exterior, minus two spots of fading on the clearcoat on the side that are hard to spot. the engine is spotless, pulls hard, and the entire thing is just a treat, it's so quiet and comfortable.
