Hi everyone I was just wanting to start a thread and get some responses on the work I have started doing to my s14. To start I bought a 95 240sx base, 5 speed with 160k miles. I have had the car for 1 month now and when I bought it, it needed alot of work, AND STILL DOES. lol. But here is a few pics of the work I am doing.
Stock, the day I bought it.

As you can see the front is smashed up pretty good and the interior is no better. The front shocks were blown and it needed a tune asap.
So to start I got some over-sized wires and iridium plugs.

Next was to do away with the blown shocks.

With these bad boys I got from a zilvia member for an awesome price. They are stance GR+.

And now for the new "Stance" lol

Next thing I got was the SE gauges and new Panasonic radio with dot matrix display.

The next part was to get the a hole fixed. Can you guess what this is?
http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/12/29/t_kevs039m_9eca478.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/12/29/f_kevs039m_9eca478.jpg&srv=img33)
As the resin was drying. On my homemade carbon fiber door panels. I didn't really feel like spending $700+ on already made door panels. So I spent around $100 and made them myself.

In this one I have everything mounted with the master window switch hole shaved. I am gonna move a couple toggle switches to the center console since the switch always go out on these things.

Some of the matching interior paint work I did.

And thats it for now. I have a steering wheel, quick release and a couple more parts in the mail now and in a week or so I will have the front end replaced with a s15 front and some 18 in wheels either chrome or gold with polished lips.
This is a pic of my s13, the day before the fire took her from me. It's my reasoning for the s15 front.
