NICOclub’s 240sx Convertible Project Car: “The Droptop From Hell”…   This project began like many others: Not a “project” at all. Shortly after taking over operations of NICOclub, and having spent countless hours with the members of 240sx.org, I began to hear the inevitable question:   “So, why doesn’t the owner of 240sx.org even OWN […]
