This thing just moved me so much I had to share it with you guys.
It’s not too often that a group can really help out one of it’s own when they are really in a rough spot in their life. Our car club, Sumospeed, recently had a chance to help our one of our members and friends, Steve. Steve is an avid car enthusiast and has built multiple cars in the past including a Subaru WRX STI and a Scion XB. He recently purchased a 1991 Nissan 240sx from another club member and friend, Danny, with plans of building a dedicated track car for drift events. Danny had previously used the Nissan coupe as his track car but it had since been stripped of its engine, headlights, body panels, amongst other things and was sitting outside of his house next to his garage.
Early this year it was discovered that Steve had a cancerous brain tumor. He needed to have surgery and chemotherapy to get everything removed. This process was going to take a lot of time as well as a lot out of him both physically and mentally. He had begun building the 240sx and had purchased a stock 240sx engine (KA24DE), Amistad Dish wheels in 18×11 -13 and 18×13 -3, purchased a body kit including a wide body, coilovers, and had already mounted the rear over fenders on the car when he had to leave for treatment.
