s14 project reshell

[Ronan-doc]

so i bought a 94 navan s14 that ended up on its roof and was left in a shed for some time, i had full intentions of reshelling the car before even looking at it, car was starting and driving just had some suspension and alot of body damage,

spec when i bought
sr20det
s15 turbo
braided lines
front mount
jap chipped ecu
alloy rad
oil filter relocation kit
greddy 60mm gauges
s15 seats
original navan kit
rest is pretty much standard

so i picked up a jap shell with quaters that were attacked already for bigger wheels but was good and clean underneath

got the shell rolling and stripped the bay for a new coat of paint

the next job then was to put in the engine and box

the car wouldnt start after just kept turning over and over was getting no spark tried everyting but still wouldnt fire up so i ended up taking out the dash loom and fusebox and switching it with crashed s14 loom and it started no problem after this.

i wouldnt be a big fan of moulding on the quaters or vent so i used phillip self drive screws make it alot easiar if anytings get damaged
