S14a Project Rebuild

[deanrobbo]

Powder coated my bonnet hinges matt black in work today just to see what theyd come out like. Joys of having access to the powder coating booth and oven in my factory! Think I'll use that more often....


So one of my mates managed to get their hands on a crane a little earlier today. So we said we'd make a burst into it and take out his 180sx engine and mine. Not too much hassle at all taking it out.



Stripped my interior whilst waiting on him to arrive with the crane, found the sound denting had already been removed in the back....




Showed no signs of rust at all, but did finally reveal the factory colour we had suspicions that it was....



Sorted most of the crazy wiring underneath...



Began whipping out his engine...



Took out my turbo and manifold....



Found out I actually have an s15 turbo...



Compared the turbo in the 180 to mine....



And finally got out mine!



And thats a wrap for tonight, two sr's out and two naked s chassis' ready for engine bay prep work. Cant wait to get cracking on it. Still very undecided about a colour. Go crazy or keep it simple...? Hmmmm....

Paint the engine bay a pearl or mettalic grey! Its simple and classy looking in any well maintained engine bay or interior!
