2011 rebuild

[DeaneMsport_180sx]

after i had a little off in the last round of prodrift in fermoy i decided i would be better off to just do a full rebuild and do all the things that needed to be done.
thi is what the car looked like after the slap:





so i started stripping pretty much straight away:
subframe out


subframe stripped:


started stripping the engine bay:


a bit more:


engine out:



crossmember out:


engine bay completly empty of everything:


look at the amount of fuckin wiring that came out


inside pretty much stripped:


when i had it stripped to a complete shell i realised that it was a bit rusty to do all the work i wanted to do on it so when i saw steven shines shell for sale i decided it would be a great base to work on so i bought that off him and sold my old shell.
im planning on doing a good bit of work on this over the winter break so keep an eye on this space
any imput and ideas would be greatly appreciated

FINIALLY AN UPDATE!!!haha
havnt really been that busy over christmas but stil got a nice bit done
have the engine back in and pretty much everything back onto it too




a nice sturdy intercooler bracket!!


also some pics of the rear subframe bolted to the car


the plates we welded in made a decent difference!!
the subframe has been pushed up about 13mm and it didnt hit the body anywhere so that was an added pluss



got some of my kit too
wings and bonnet were copied so just need to tidy up the rough edges and then they will be perfect
bumper was on a car before but is basically brand new just needs a clean




thats all for now but im off collage for this month so will be flat out at it
