Project s13

Well,
there a few weeks ago bite the bullet and bought my first rwd. Didnt want to buy something perfect or mint as i wanted a bit of a project so i bought a s13 which ye might reconise.

It was a track car all striped out but my plan is to put it back together and back on the road. improve the spec and make it as mean as possible.

It has a good nct till january so hopefully it will be back by then on the road..

its a very straight clean shell. engine is working perfect and not a bad spec.

heres some pics of it when i got it and how it stands after three weeks work. its not going to a fast build as money isnt plentyful at the minute.

after christmas if it fails nct ill take it off the road and drop a sr20 or something along them lines in.

any comments welcome good or bad..


thanks,
joey:)

back on road for january??ur tearing into it fair play!

very nice why did you go the 200sx front ?? and what you doing with the 180sx front ??

its a 200sx so i said id stay with that front if i get the bumper on right, intercooler is preventing it from going on right, spent a day cutting it to fit without making a shit of it but no luck.... very close thow, might get it on with a little bit more cutting...

was that car belonging to member on here "eileen".. hav u a red 200 for spares by the looks of it

nope it wasnt (well not the prevous owner so maybe before that????) nope i dont but im going looking at one for spares tomorrow...:)

It used to be Eileen's yes.

Good stuff, enjoy!

aboy joey, about time!!!

cheers mate, love the facelift bumper, thats the plan, get coils and drop it about 3inchs more and a little camber to finish it off:)

Ya theres been a bit of work happening here and there....

Got a rolling shell to take the interior out of and then over time get it ready for the track after the blue one is finished.

Heres the list of things done so far:

-Sunroof all fixed up and sprayed
-Interior carpet out to get cleaned along with seats and boot carpet
-All lights working
-All boot trim got and cleaned
-Car totally striped, cleaned and sprayed a good few bits before carpet goes back in
-All door cards inc back got
-Back speakers re wired and working
-and a few other small bits cleaned and sprayed to give them a fresh look..

Then get the bumper fitted right and off to the sprayer:)
