so as the title states I have been building my s13 for about 5 years now started as a clean shell under 100k hadn't had an engine in it in the 7 years before I bought it
94187
94188
for some god forsaken reason I painted the engine bay green, still to this day I don't know why but it didn't look to bad
94191
I bought a wrecked car and stole the engine out of it and built it, just a dual cam ka but I worked at a machine shop at the time so I went through and rebuilt it, did a bunch of head work and a stock bottom end
94189
94190
94192
did a full engine and engine bay wiring tuck, removed a lot of unnecessary stuff and got her in the car
94193
94194
94195
fuse boxe was disassembled, everything was reran and wired into a custom fuse box upside down inside the glove box (blue wires are not left as all blue wires haha just temporary to test things before I ran the harnesses)
94199
interior went in and back together
94196
and after about 6 months of work she ran and drifted
94197
94198
94200
after that it was small upgrades and little things
interior work
94213
new cleaner bumpers and hatch, hood, and wheels, new suspension all around with upgraded arms and braces and whatnot, never got any pictures of that stuff though :(
94201
94202
but like all good things eventually it had to come to an end which in my case came as a spun bearing
94216
94217
so I decided it was time to move on and do a swap so engine came out, I bought an sr and have been building it and the chassis at the same time

94211
94212

94204
94205
94206
94208
94207
94214
94209
which brings us to now, sr20det swap, top mount turbo, wire tuck in the works, nx digital cluster, lots and lots of work with no end in sight

(this is only a cursory start the the thread I will be going back over what I posted and cleaning it up and adding things, just did this real quick since I had access to an actual computer to load the pictures)
