The Glitterbug PS13

[pole drift]

Hey Guys,

Well here we go again, I'm buildin another car. This car caught my eye a few months ago so I decided to strip my 180sx and reshell it into this.

The shell is fully seam welded, undersealed and was never crashed. It has nearly new solid rear subframe aluminum bushes, solid steering bush and the steering rack has new poly bushes. The rear arches have been cut and welded and sealed.

The plans are to use the engine and running gear out of the 180sx in this, 5 stud conversion all round, and then just get her runnin right before I start gettin adjustable arms and stuf.

I'll get a few pics up when I can but these are the only pics I hav at the moment.







Let the debate begin

I hope to get a good bit done to this over the next few weeks to get this looking like a car again. I'll be bringing it to a garage to do the work on it there. While it's there I'll be fitting the cage, fitting all new brake lines, fitting the engine and box, skyline rear hubs, making up brackets for the FMIC and fit the coilovers.

I'll be on the lookout for 5 stud front hubs, discs and brakes and also lookin for a nice set of wheels. As for lock I'll be fitting Tien extra lock tie rods and when the car is running I'll be on the lookout for adjustable arms for the rear (maybe driftworks, undecided what to go for)
