Hello all, been registered for qite a while now but never posted due to estate issues popping up, thought was going to loose the car, so didn't bother to post, but now that is done and my mom's 1985 200SX Turbo, 5-speed, maroon, post photos later, but its been sitting since 2000 when the original motor was damaged, and had to locate a replacement less then 10 yrs ago. Money issues prevented it, but I am going to start working on it soon, I need todo couple other things to another car first. I hope to find help with restoring it here. Thanks!

Here's a few photos of my mom's car.


Current. REALLY needs cleaned up... been sitting for 3-4 years. Thinking of repainting it a dark candy red, something that looks really nice. Canning it project Unicorn since mom liked Unicorns.


Older photo obviously, not covered in stuff. As you can see light damage on driver's fender/door. Both side molding under the doors missing.... I guess will need to DIY a set probly, shouldn't really be too hard I'd think.


The 4 cyl Turbo. Not the original engine, but same kind from another car. Other was warped head, from being red lined in 3rd gear, or that's what I was told.


5-Speed and digital dash, no idea what other options was avail, so that's just what this has.

As I said before, I didn't make post before, due to starting the Probate process, and all of a sudden, here's the medical ins, with their hands out... jokes on them, estate worth next to nada, so took about 2 years to get the process done, still need to transfer it to my name.

I don't know if anyone has a resto site for parts available, but I know I could use some replacement parts, like the driver or pass, can't remember, rear red side marker lens, broken and a white plastic ball on the base of the shifter that goes into the trans, is also broken... Only idea I have is to make one with whats left using my 3d printer, but not sure how well that'd work, unless I mold n make one from liquid plastic from some place..

Will post more photos later, need to clean out garage and get the car all the way inside.
