180sx Road car build

[jonnyrb]

So a while ago I bought a 180sx rolling shell of stevo, and between living away, losing interest, regaining interest and gathering funds/parts I'm just starting into it now nearly 2 years later.
I plan on doing as much work on it as I can myself, but with only basic mechanical knowledge I will be needing help along the way.
Progress will be slow but I hope to get a few hours at it each week,

Anyways this is the car,


Plan for the car is to have a clean, well spec'd, reliable road car, I have most parts bought for it bar a few bits.

Anyways first off get the car into the shed,

The lift, handy enough


Cows go out, car comes in,


So over the last few evenings got at subframe with angle grinder and wire wheel, primed and sprayed it,


And in with poly bushings, I had intended to run an s14 subframe but couldn't find offset poly bushings so that plan got scrapped.

anyways that's all for now, next on the list it to tidy up the underside and get it shutzed before subframe goes back on.
