Quebec s13 build

[andy20det]

Hi guys ! My name is Andy and im from Montreal quebec. I'm now building or ''rebuilding'' my S13 for Street/track use. The car is striped down to bare chassi for the past 4 months and sandblasted to eliminate rust ! Up here in montreal, winter is the enemi for all cars. To secure roads in winter they put salt to melt snow and ice. So all that calcium help rust to eat sheet metal:zombie:.

So there it is

OH and has you read the thread you can tell that english is not my first language.
Sorry for that but ... sharing the build help me practicing it.

and if you have comments feal free .

[mytwofourtee]

that sucks that you guys have to deal with snow over there. how many months of the year are you guys allowed to use the tracks? how drastically are you rebuilding? i like these garage builds the best. anyone can take their car to a shop and get it built but how can you race something you didnt have a hand in the building? looked good before you tore her apart. sand blasting is smart idea. any plans to keep the rust off? undercoating? good luck with the build. subscribed.

Haha Quebec rust is the best, eh! Good luck with your build!

[andy20det]

Alright so i send of the body to sandblast. Did a very nice job ! So every rust surface was gone and small rust holes became bigger one.... but nothing to big. The project is going on the right way.

[EnjoiNISMO]

NICE!
Get at that rust!
Good luck with build, seems to be coming along great.

[andy20det]

Alright guys. Been a while whitout posting ! Im patching rust again ! I started boxing up the rear subframe for more rigidity. And im buying body parts. Since i got the car ( about 4 years ) I was only buying the sr20det and engine/suspension/brake upgrades. Now its time for some style :P . I already got the kouki tailights and the pignose lip so i think my kit is complete. I bought chuki sides and the kouki rear valence kit.

All oem stuff

Are those wheels KS-05r's?

[andy20det]

Yes they are! I have painted them.

[Walperstyle]

All of a sudden I fee a lot better about spending $5k in Alberta for a 90,000km babied automatic coupe. I'm glad I don't have to go through that much chassis work as you.

At least you are taking the time to do it right. This is going to be a nice car.

[VOoDOoGTX]

what are your going to undercoat it with? i just stripped down my car compleatly and now im wondering what the undercoating is going to be made of.

[andy20det]

Updates. ITs been a long time since i didnt post pics of the progress.
I've stared up boxin FLCA , Cradle and more...after get them sandblasted and paint.
