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.

back on road for january??ur tearing into it fair play!

[garyae86]

very nice why did you go the 200sx front ?? and what you doing with the 180sx front ??

[galway joey]

its a 200sx so i said id stay with that front if i get the bumper on right, intercooler is preventing it from going on right, spent a day cutting it to fit without making a shit of it but no luck.... very close thow, might get it on with a little bit more cutting...

[180sxbreaker]

[galway joey]
