not a huge project but thought id keep you up to date with my current 13.
after spending the last couple years constantly buying shit i cant afford, then running out of cash and having to break it, i thought id go back to the beggining and just make a basic spec s13 for pissing about in.
picked it up couple weeks ago, wasnt much to look at but had most of the important bits, all bushes done, hsd coilovers and a rebuilt ca18 by a reputable company, not just in a shed.
looked like this:

came from the sxoc, so was very well looked after but not quite to my taste.
so first things, fitted a preface splitter,got hold of some rota grids and spacers, bolted them on and stuck it on its arse:

however looking at it, the facelift bumper with preface splitter just sat too low, as i live in one bumpy ass area, and lets face it 99 percent of people just think your bellend if your scraping down the road. so swapped it for a preface front bumper and splitter:

still plenty low, but just that little bit of difference. as it goes doesnt catch on much at all now.
then fitted grids to the rear and dropped it down to height, with the help of the fatman we rolled the arches out with a bar to good standard:

also fitted my old bootlid with wangan and roof lip spoiler, some skirts and threw some lexus lights on after tinting them red and painting the centre panel black:

then fitted washer spacers, tein rods and ends and driftworks tension rods for a bit more lock, as you can see, a lot more lock for literaly pennies, why people are spending thousands for only a tiny bit more than this, i still dont get!:

then spent the evening trimming the standard interior panels in bride fabric:

fitted them, a bride drivers bucket, white steering wheel, gknob, trs harnesses, full set of greddy gauges, white clocks, aristo floor mats, snap off hub, touch screen headunit and even a sub in the boot! (maybe a bit chav, but i like my music, and the rest of the car is running full interior):
