Project s13

[galway joey]

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.
