So last month kinda sucked. Searched for a ka for a while, but they were all over priced and/or in sketchy condition. Then I kinda came to the conclusion I'd just end up in the same place if I didn't build the bottom end, which is just fucking stupid when the ENTIRE PURPOSE of me buying the hatch was to have a fun car to drive while doing the k swap on the coupe. So far it has been the exact opposite, so I decided to partially part it out (keeping all the suspension and some other shit).

Last Saturday I started pulling the motor, swapped the suspension from the coupe to the hatch and the hatch to the coupe, pillaged whatever interior stuff I still wanted, and had the shell loaded up in the new owner's trailer by Thursday. Apologies for the shitty photos, I didn't bother to take a minute to snap any decent ones, not like it matters anyway...



And then I got to work on the coupe. The old sr is going back in for now, while I NA k swap my other coupe. I figure this will be the best route to take so I can fiddle around, take my time, and figure things out like the best PS setup and if AC is doable before diving into the turbo k build on the green car.

Still a lot of work to be done before it's ready to drive, but it's getting there quickly considering this thing was just a rolling shell a week ago lol
