hey guys heres the scoop.
About 2 years ago i decided to pick up this 89 s13 coupe shell thats was sitting in my friends driveway and build me a KA-T track car..
the build begins by:
EXTERIOR: by stripping the messed up paint job the car had.. originally red, repainted blue(which didnt go right).. so i spent a few weekends sanding to the first coat of primer.. rattle canned primerd it using 2 cans per section of the car and going through all the nessasary sanding.. and so forth, was plan on rattle canning the car purple, but then changed my mind and was going to use single stage paint. . and i sprayed the engine bay Black
-i replaced the door with manual doors and replaced the locks and ignition and all new keys
INTERIOR: i stipped the interior and removed the carpet and all sound deadening and undercoating the inside of the car.
-replaced the steering wheel with a cheap grant steering wheel.. nothing special.
-and i have a almost mint recaro seat going with the car.
now the car was originally a SOHC but came with no motor.. now this is everything i bought and did..
ENGINE:
-s14 Ka24de..with low miles.
- tore the motor down cleaned it and replaced all the timing components
- new rod and main bearings
- new cometic head gasket
- new thermal intake gasket
- didnt want to use OBD2 so i got a S13 Dohc Intake mani to convert over
- new JGS Poly Motor mounts
- removed egr ( installed block off)
- removed butterflies from manifold
- RevHard Mani
- AIResearch t3 turbo
- new Mr. Copper Exhaust gasket
- all new exhaust mani studs
- Tapped and welded Bung for oil drain

- dohc ecu $50
- dohc throttle cable $40
- dohc powersteering resivor $25

thats about all i can remember from that..

DRIVETRAIN:
- Good working tranny $120
- New ACT 6puck sprung hub clutch/ HD pressure plate $400
- Stock Flywheel, nerver got to buy a lightweight one $50

i never made any modification to the suspension for as that was going to be last.. but car is a clean title currently registered as non op..
i dont want to part it out.. i would like to sell it as an uncompleted car.. with everything mentioned if i can get a good price for it. or at least make my money back.. most of the big parts are new and unused..
