Alex's 1993 Nissan 240SX

Oct 20

Alex Pintado from Boca Raton, FL is the proud owner of this 1993 Nissan 240sx.

Pintado has had this car for 4 years, only making the significant changes this year. He drives his inspiration from years of watching YouTube Japanese street drifting. This is only the beginning for Pintado, though; the build has just begun.

Reflecting back on his biggest milestone, Pintado never thought he’d see a fresh coat of paint on this car. He spent 4 years driving a flat, spray-painted 240sx and had almost given up on ever seeing her with a bit of color. His heart nearly dropped when he got to see the newly painted car for the first time. Next stop? Pintado has his heart ready to drop once more for an SR20 engine swap.

While we have all been there, done that, Pintado deals with the all too familiar struggle to stretch his dollar to perfect his 21 year-old car. He says, “Paint might be nice, but it still leaks when it rains!”

Special Thanks/Shout Outs: “Would like to thank my wonderful fiancé, for her support and helping me when my car was down, and whatever else i put her through. I couldn’t have done it without her. I’d also like to thank my friends for pushing me to things I never thought I’d do.”
