hey guys just posting progress of a build that I am doing. I got this car in really bad shape, but the price was right so I couldn't complain. doing a full right hand drive s13 conversion. cage, sr20det, blah blah blah. Im sure Ill get ripped on by the elitists out there, but I do it all myself and in my garage. So im proud of it.
Anyway, let me know what ya think....

Ill probably get ripped on for this. it was like 3am and I ran out of gas for my mig. so i switched the spool and put in flux core. I went over it again once I got the gas. didn't trust the fluxcore.
