ok, well as many of you may know, my beautiful s13 coupe was involved in an accident in aug. it has been an ongoing battle whether of not to keep her and fix her or junk it.
well it's been back and forth,... i dropped it off at a shop and got all the dents pulled out for free, but didn'd bondo or prime. I'm finishing off the rest of the work myself. i plan to fill the holes with fiberglass resin and smooth it over. the dents look good as new, but the rocker panel still lokks ugly and a little crimped and so doesnt the inside of the door
jam. Originially i didnt want to but i think i will buy some side skirts nowto cover up the ugly rocker panel. i will not be painting the car. it will be primed baby blue.(dont kill me bc of the color... it's the trademark of a local shop that i;m getting it primed at)
The back seat of the car is out but the carpet is still in. i'm still not sure whetehr i'll keep the carpet in or not, but i'm installing 4 point rollcage. also the autoamtic seatbelts are disconnected, are racing harnesses legal?.. i need this car to pass inspection so i can maintain insurance, (my insurance is classified as a racecar...ocasional use on track mostly kept in garage.) well we'll see how this turns out. it's goign to take a while to finish this. hopefully in time for race season (FEB 22nd).... i'll keep ya posted a shoot up some pictures later
