    Default New Sil80 Project !!!

    Well lads
    was looking for a project for the summer as ive loads of time on my hands.I love the look of my sil80 drift car but has no paperwork so cant hit the road legally so decided to build a road going sil80.
    Cash is tight with other cars taking my funds so decided to get a 180sx shell thats regd and build it up as i have few parts to build it up.
    Decided to buy gems 180sx off him as a rolling shell as a base, drove up and looked at it i was happy with the car needed small work but very solid shell i bought a few parts of him too left happy with a good deal!!! (Thanks Gem)!!
    Any ways heres the plans in my head for the car.

    50mm rear over fenders,
    Widened front ps13 wings,
    5 stud conversion with extra lock hubs,
    Duck tail spoiler,
    C-west skirts,
    front and back body kit,
    Full exhaust with twin rear cans,
    Deepdish rims,
    s14 engine,intercooler etc
    Respray in blue,

    Heres the Work so far!!!!
    Pics of car in gems place taking without spoiler,rear lights,coilovers, etc








    Car down the shed got home at 4.30am fairly wrecked.








    Car moved into the bay where the project will begin.











    Tried the skirts with some wheels to get a image into my head
