How to Replace a Quarter Panel pt1 - Project 240sx
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Although this wasn't my original intention, this video makes a great guide for any beginner wanting to fix their car and replace a quarter panel.
I have been looking for these Nissan 240sx S13 parts for what seems like months now, but it was well worth the wait! This abandoned Nissan 240sx was recently picked up in Ohio. After removing the project car from the woods and towed through a creek, it arrived at its final resting place. Unfortunately this crashed 240sx had too much body damage to consider saving it, but the parts will continue to live on in other chassis.

I spent the last 7 years building this 1990 Nissan 240sx from the ground up by myself. I swapped out the KA24e for a KA24de. Then once more for a RB25det out of a R34 Skyline and couldn't be happier. I have also converted the 240 to right hand drive, (which ended up saving my life!) After installing a few drift parts; such as a hydro E - Brake, and dual rear calipers, welded diff, solid suspension bushings and more, the car handled amazing. Surprisingly this S13 was able to drift and stay sideways perfectly despite the damage that was done to it.

See ya next time!
Just sad seeing one go but that's how it is
I'm always sad when the videos end they are too good!
the nitty gritty is always great to watch but never worry about giving your thought process behind why youre making decisions. its honestly more important overall than footage of drilling and cutting. people in the future willbe extragrateful youve given your thoughts with such detail!
I was thinking the same. I do also think that the thought process is very important when it comes to projects that may seem impossible on the first glance. But Mikey is making us understand that everything is possible if you dedicate yourself to it! 🤘🤘
15:02 Nah man this talking is just what we need. In this era of automotive youtube making projects seem like something easy and fast to do cutting most of the work and thought process out this talking and figuring out thing just brings more life into the video and shows how it is in real non edited world. I know you still do timelapses and cool cuts but you still show the entire proces so people can kinda get what it takes to do some things.
It really goes to show just how old the manufacturing process for these cars are; the mindset of how they went about putting it all together. If only you could take apart a new Nissan to see all the years of improvement by comparison.
Also z32's have that same rocker rust from the drain hose problem so be sure to examine that as well when you get a chance.
Overall glad you got everything and looking forward to the next one.
Honestly I was thinking the same thing! I really want to take apart a new car just to compare the inner construction methods used. Maybe I can do a random one in a Junkyard someday
Uh oh, I gotta check my z now haha
@@PrizzaMike why does this say 19 hours ago when the vidio was posted 1 hour ago so confused
@@Angrykid-lt2hi Pretty sure it's because channel members get early access to videos...
@@Angrykid-lt2hi sometimes we see the videos first before everyone else. Perks of a channel member 👍🏾
The newones are plastic
16:28 I'm glad you explain stuff like this because it helps anyone that wants to replace their quarters on their 240
you already know mike is the only guy whos gonna do it. every 240 owner just usually slaps bondo on their quarters.
so happy to see you changing the inner wheel well structure! you went this far on the build, might as well do it right! 12:59
Definitely agree
Yassss late night content .
You make me so motivated to work on my cars !
Man I love that you kept improving that wheel well. I was thinking the same thing about the split weld on the inside. So satisfying to see a job thoroughly well done
Imma just tell you how it is. I’m not here for you to do what we want I’m here for you to do what you want. I couldn’t care less if you was talking the whole 20mins. It’s nice to hear someone and watch someone teach others what they are doing rather than a 20minutes video full of no talking and sped up work. Keep doing you man it’s not about us who watch, it’s about what YOU want to do and what content you want to put out.
nah man. this is one of my current favorite channels and you explaining everything not only is entertaining, but it also sparks creativity when it comes to my car.
if there was a part 4 on the quarter it would be time to start praying for a solid panel keep up the good work mike mike
Your videos are always inspiring that it makes me want to finish my 91 integra. And it doesn’t even need much left. I made a lot of progress, I hope I can finish it in a couple more months. You really motivate me to finish my project ❤. I always look forward to watching your uploads every Saturday at work or at home.
When drilling out spot welds, I've always used the center punch. But after watching your video not anymore. Keep up the good work!
Hey Mike this is great to see you getting so close to having your 240 back together again I didn't think you would get it done and I can say for all of the car guy out there you have the Best-One of rebuilding a car these other guys are just part bombs and they're done. You literally replaced almost every panel on your car and rebuilt it to New!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍 Keep up the great work. And keep producing the great videos!!!!
Nearly there now you have all the part you can visualise the build and it will take shape, can't wait to see it all done
This is going to sound a little cliché but earlier this year I binned my mustang into a deer. Watching your videos really inspired me to save the car after the incident. Not only did i get a nice insurance payout but I was also able to save a lot of money thanks to doing a bunch of the work myself (unfortunately I'm not good enough to save the hood and fender so those were done by professionals lol). I just want to say thank you, I'm buttoning up my car now and it'll be back on the road in no time :)

Mike i really hope you read this;
I‘ve binchwatched your complete Channel 2 weeks ago.
Your Story, your Character, your car‘s story and all you are doing is just amazing.
Me on the other hand was in a little bit of a struggle.
Your content gave me the vibes back i honestly didn‘t notice when i lost them.
So long story short i bought a 1975 280 Z wich is a dreamcar to me.
I never felt the same after and now i just catch me in between of the hours im working on it, staring at the bodylines and just wondering why this took me so long to happen.
Still cant believe it.
When i watch your videos im getting reminded how awesome life can be when you just have the right mindest.
Anyhow im looking forward to the next episodes.
Btw: have you known about the channel „offbeat garage“ ?
Hes got a sick s13 thought idk wether he still is „in the game“. Never uploaded in 3 years.
Keep the brilliant work seeing her back on the road in her full glory is going to be amazing
I do enjoy your videos for almost a year now, you are doing an amazing job on restoring and your skill is overwhelming.
So thank you for sharing, I never thought this would be possible to fix
This 240 is the ultimate character builder!
I can't wait for the car to be ready! Awesome video as usual!
You and me both! Thanks man 🙏
18 hrs ago??? How
@@srisiddharthannair1954 exzactly how
@@srisiddharthannair1954 I am a member so i see the videos earlier than normal subs
your content is so chill and fun to watch, keep up the good work bro. cant wait to see your 240 back on the road fully completed:D
I have been looking at that splice in the wheel well for months and was wondering what the plan was for it. Glad to see it all coming together!
You're one of my inspiration to work on my cars. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Always look forward for Fridays just to see the progress on your ride. The dedication on these videos are too damn high! Lol
Bro ur like litrelly my wall paper. The photo of u pulling the fingers when u crashed it have watched every video of urs love u bro can’t wait to see the end result.
Awesome work! I know it's not easy! 95% people would've quit!
My friend owns a repair shop. He said multiple women have brought their cars in where the backing plates on the brake pads were worn through as well. Lol!!!
I was recently in an accident where I hydroplaned my 03 350z into the Jersey wall on the freeway, my front frame rails are smoked, but this guy inspires me to fix my car! I'm gonna be pulling the engine and transmission and tubing up the front end💪 If you're passionate enough about cars you can almost fix anything
dude, this is just great😍
looking forward to the next video! big greetings from Russia, you are the best, thousands of people from Russia are watching🥺 you're just the best dude 🔥❤
I was halfway asleep when I heard the notification glad I checked but Lets go more 240 content 💪🏻🤘🏼
Thanks for giving me an idea of how to do this on my 330ci! I can't wait until I get enough money and time to do it. I may try on some junkyard cars before I go cutting into my own car.
Hell yea man, I’m glad you finally found one and can finish the car!!!!(mostly haha)
Same man! I think I've been looking for a couple months now! Feels like forever haha
I've been watching car stuff on RUclips for almost a decade now and in this video I saw stuff I've never seen before
Very informative and high quality
Can't wait to see where this goes
I’m glad you’re taking that entire solid wheel house structure. Pi have spent so much time on this 240 I didn’t wanna see you piece that back together. It’s definitely gonna be worth the extra work. Also weird I was randomly unsubbed too. Resubbed!!
Dam just goes to show all good things come to those who wait. ! Finally got that quarter panel 🙌 and more 🤘🏻
Definitely gotta say you’ve become quite an inspiration. I’m building a ford ranger prerunner and your videos get me stoked to work on my build. Another kick ass video as always🤘
Didn’t k ow you follow this too hahah
@@portergiessing6930 been following him for some time! Super easy going and always has a positive attitude. Definitely one of my favorite channels!
@@tylerhardy1849 dude same here been following ever since the wreck I love his motivation and ability to overcome Hes and inspiration to the whole car world showing that a crash never has to be the end🤘
Final piece! Can't wait to see it as a complete shell again!
Thank you for the video! It's such a good guide. And I loved the kinda time lapse editing when you were drilling out the welds!!
So happy for you Mike! Finally the missing links to the puzzle being added to the roster. Can’t wait to see part two! Much love man!
Spot weld edit was great love to see the growth
Man... If only you knew how bad I want to see the build to get to the finish line... Loving your videos! As always, keep on doing what you're doing and never give up, you will finish this 240SX in no time especially when you have all the parts necessary to actually finish it! 💪💪

You are totally killing it with these videos 👍 junkyard foragers and driveway mechanic king, absolutely my favourite channel on YT right now 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a lot man! 🙏🔥
That was ... Very ... Educational!
I'm excited to finally see this car come completely together.
Almost hitting that 100K sub. Exciting times! (Don't forget us little folks when you become famous😅)
Thr Drillinstructor is back.
Super nice Videos,Go on.
Best regards from Brandenburg, Germany.
The care you have for the work you do is inspirational.
Hey i work at a body shop and we dont drill out spot welds. We actually use a small small portable belt sander! Its a lot faster, not as hard on your shoulders and you dont have to drill pilot holes either!
here in brazil only the newest cars have this type of spot weld. the older cars are all soldered .. i look forward to seeing your project 100% completed 🔥🔥
See I like the talking cause it definitely inspires to stop being lazing and get my project done.
Because of this guys videos I’m in the process of doin my first transmission swap on my 04 civic coupe
every time this guy post i get happy, keep up the great work
Keep on rocking Dude. You definitely know what you are doing. Take care and thanks for sharing your video.
I always look forward to when a 240 video drops!
finally!! cant wait for the end result of this project. great job mike!!
Hell yeah! Here we go! Final stretch finishing up the body! 💪💪💪
let's GO. I'm glad to see some progress on the 240
Great to see the 240 coming back better than ever! Keep it going Mike!
Always a great day when you upload man. You make my day 🙌🏾
We need daily uploads tbh you're content is real interesting
I imagine today's seam sealers are better than they were 30+ years ago... at least I hope so.. Perhaps they don't soak up as much moisture as they used to. I mean if you used nothing, then water would just get in the seams directly which also seems bad, so it's kind of a catch 22. I resealed parts of my car awhile back and the product I used was more like silicone. The old stuff on the S13's becomes powder when you grind it off so probably totally different.
PS: Keep up the explanations.. I like hearing your thought process as you go... without it, it would just be some weird ASMR video that I probably wouldn't watch... 😅
Nearly at 100k!!! 🎉🎉 Can’t wait Mike!
Awesome stuff can’t wait to see you start on the final leg
I am an Automotive technician I really like your content I hope one day to meet you blessings Greetings from Peru ☺
Great work Mike. Nice to have undamaged parts. Regards from Ireland as always.
Here for the long talk sessions and the learning. I'm not even building a 240. I also enjoy your milestones, overall good content bro. Your doing good by my opinions.
The commercials are way to long before the start of your RUclips video. I get so excited to see you working on your 240
Followed you since 49.000 subcribers ,keep up the good word mike
So good🎉 can't wait to see this done. Love the dedication and the effort! Need to apply some of this energy to my S13!!!
so cool to see this thing come back together
Awesome video! I just bought my second toyota celica, one had a goof engine and a totally wrecked passenger side other one has a good body(with some rust) so the idea was just to pull stuff off the first one to make the second one run, but after seeing this a quarter panel replacement seems like a much better idea! Definitely simpler than a full engine AND interior swap. Great video thank you so much!
Honestly would love to have this done to my Subaru…good job on diy
Late night uploads on point!
Way to go dude! Loving the progress.
Wow i love your dedication to making your car better, salvaging ever part you can. We definitely need more people like you in the car community rather then people that just let good parts rot away, every episode im so exited to seeing your car back together. Btw keep explaining your thought process its one of the biggest reasons i watch the vids, were here for you just as much as were here for the car dont feel self conscious about talking too much. Keep it up man😁
Love you and your hard work. and your hard work that goes into making these videos
Thank you so much 😀

keep up. that project must roll and slide again . will charge your happiness and ours too
i love that u talk alot well explained and i can see your vision
Awww man, I got so insipired by your work and everything.. I wanted to do stuff like you In the future but it turns out that many aftermarket mods are illegal here in Sweden :(
"there is exactly 154 spot welds to drill out on this quarter panel. yes, i did just count that" 😂
I had to know 😂
I love the videos so much you are my favorite youtuber rightnow and im always happy to see your video in my recomended
by the end of this build, mike's gonna be able to name each and every spotweld on the 240/180
😂
I can't wait to buy some merch. I love the design and message on it, but I just ordered brake calipers, pads, fluid, rotors, and lines for my car, so Im a little broke rn
Take your time homie! Don't go broke over merch! It'll still be there when the time is right 🔥
babe wake up.. prizzamike posted!
Good to see you getting closer.
This is so amazing to see. The 240 is looking good!
Love your video's bro ✌ always interesting and entertaining. Thank you
Love your vids man. I’ve been waiting for this one. Much love bro ❤️
Mike if you remember when I said that you have a 180, you might make it a 155 and than go to 200😂, keep the content flowing, and good luck man
😂
Can’t wait for the next video !!
Always upload at a great time for me
LATE NIGHT UPLOAD LFGGGGG love the content man keep it up 🤝
