can anybody say rust 101-- ashleys s14 build
 

Okay what can I say, I have owned my car now for almost 7 yrs. I love it! Heres started my bad luck my strut tower was coming completely off the body so I picked up a 1995 nissan 240sx, back in may its whole purpose was to be my fix while my other car was down. So I started to dissamble the first s14 to get the motor and trans in the other s14. I also got a 99 honda civic coupe around oct to drive in the winter. Well that lasted a month, I just put hard plates on her, and some drunk driver totalled it, and pushing the honda into the rear of my nissan buckling the qtr., and bending the frame a bit. I was able to salvage the nissan and pulled the frame and made it driveable. Now only thing wrong with this car was qtr was buckled so i planned on putting a wide body on and cover.My bad luck didnt like that idea and i hit black ice back in january and it a wall completely screwing the car. So guess now i have a complete parts car. I dnt really have much time being a mom of a child with spinia bifida w/my hospital visits and working at a hospital.I finally started to work on the car tearing it down, and needless to say i found more rust wholes :( but all is well, hopefully it becomes completely done by the end of this year, with the rb. Heres the pictures.....


day i got the car:

shes almost there waiting on my header and should be done :) yes i know the quarter looks bad, but its getting overfenders i just dressed it up so i can drive it. I am getting my rb at the beginning of the year so thats the next big step. The hood and deck lid is chalk board black :)

Good luck with the rust! I feel your pain there.... Looks to be a fun project, though.

Nice hack job work you got going on there.......

Hey, carpet covers all that up....

Except for awful body lines. :bash:
