my 180sx build

[twincam mad]

bought the car 3 months ago now and after 1 month driving it the manifold cracked and acuator wasnt working properly so went to get them sorted and after a quick chat with my mechanic we had the engine out and getting built :cool: engine bay is getting tiedied as under the battery had gone rusty, shes getting a full rebuild, bay being painted and tucked,turbo is being topmounted with custom manifold, underside is being shutzed, new intercooler and rad, mounted diferntly, he has the front panel cut away and making up his own, man is a genuis when it comes to jap yokes...

heres a few pics for now
