hpipro4 s13 ka-t build

well i've been on here for a while but never really made a build thread so here it goes...i do have an s13 wire tuck thread.

my 1st car.... my 1st build. all works done by me with my own bare hands and lotza sweat & hardwork! started back in 2008 and my build has been ongoing.....

car is a 92 s13 salvaged title lol bought off a chick that drifted it. cost me 2600 which i now realized i overpaid for it! needed new tires and a/c compressor was hanging. brown interiors with welded diff lol

1st day i got the car.....

Looks amazing dude, love seeing your progress

Saw this build thread over on ka-t, love it! I remember seeing your wire tuck thread, I'm extremely jelly of the cleanliness of this build. I'm currently working on a ka-t build right now. Question though, you said you built your own coolant overflow tank; where did you buy that little side sight? The one on my circuit sports broke.
