THE STORY:
So my first experience with an s chassis was with my 180sx, which sadly died 3 months after i got it. the chassis was kinked hard so it wasnt worth saving

after that got crashed by a learner driver running a stop sign and me t-boning them, the search was on for a new shell.
while trawling the local parts page a guy messaged me saying he had a registered shell sitting there.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49590255/s13/FB_IMG_1436794838241.jpg
i was skeptical. wasnt sure if i wanted to pick up a car with absolutely horrific paint. but i went and checked it out, signed the papers and half an hour later this was in my driveway and 800 dollars in his pocket

the car came with the following that i knew about:
-a running sr20de
-nothing else
lol
anyway thus began the teardown of the car
