S14 KA-T Build

[Jorge18]

So this car has been quite interesting to me.

Here's a little back story:

I bought this car back in 2008. I purchased it at a dealer auction where my parent's buy cars to fix and resell. I bought it for $500. My intention was to obviously fix it up and have a fun weekend car. We (my step father and I) started building the car and then life happened. Got married, bought a house, finished school (bachelors and masters), had a baby, etc. So the car has literally been sitting outside for about 7 years. Now that I am done with school, it's time to finish it! My original plans was to go mild (about 275-300hp) but now I'm shooting for 400+.

Enough with the story, onto the pictures.

These are when I first bought the car

After I got it home, it was time to buy parts...

And that's where the car stood for about 7 years.
