    Ok....first off I know you put 20k into the car, but that doesn't make it worth 20k. Try selling it and see what you get....not that you would but I am just saying.

    I know bryant with the 2j kouki couldn't get near 2k for his car...sure yours has some more motor stuff done, but just think about it....

    A $3,000 paint job is hard to justify on really any car that's not a top of the line show car, a complete recolor of a newer car or what not. When I had my s13 I had a silvia front end on it and was looking forward to painting it midnight purple.

    Kind of like the Skyline purple. I think that would look hot on a sil-80 converted 240.

    But if you got the money, and you don't care about throwing it into a $1500 car then go ahead and paint that bitch with a $3000 paint job. --more power to ya.

    yeah I do drive a honda, no its not worth $1500 actually more like $4000 but im not trying to repaint my car. Dave actually fabbed the turbo setup on my car. I personally do not see the point in spending more money on your paintjob than the chassis of the car is worth. but if he were going to use a house of kolors paint, that stuff is expensive paint. I have painted a few cars myself.


    its like putting granite countertops, marble floors, 6" base boards and 5" crown moulding in a $100k house. its not worth it because you will never be able to get that money out when you sell it.


    i guess im just more concerned with getting a return on my investment which is why i like to keep my cars conservative.

    Seriously.

    It is a 240. Painting it won't make it look better. You should use the money to get new wheels.

    matt actually just needs some motivation to work on it. the motor is finished and ready to go in the car sitting on an engine stand in my garage. now all we need is either a new steering rack, or some of the hardlines on the rack that got damaged when we pulled them motor.

    dave i dont think you need to justify the 240. the 240 is good for what you want out of it... a FAST DD. is it the first car you would buy as far as appearance? probably not. But its lightweight and you can put a 2j in it. If you run that bitch into a tree... you buy another one for 1500$ and pile all your motor into it.. if you run a mkIV supra into a tree you are in the hole a good 30 grand. just my 2 cents. You're 240 is perfect for what you want out of it
