Clean_S13

I've decided to make a build thread. So let's start it. The car was traded for my first s-chassis, an 89 240sx s13. Here's the 240 the first day I had it and the last day...

Upgraded coils
Stripped
Unmolested ka24e
And so on..
Now lets note this won't be a quick build, so its gonna be a while. I will be doing all the work by myself and a couple friends I am learning a shit ton along the way and hope you guys can give helpful input. I'm only 17 and still a junior in high school.

This is the first photo i got of Ruby(that's her name)

The kid I traded it for said the previous owner took it apart for a blown head gasket and he just never put it together.

More motor work, I have to leave it outside with no windshield and living in Nebraska where the weather changes every second

The kid said all I'd need to buy is the two turbos, gasket kit, and 60k timing kit... We'll turns out I need all that plus the exhaust manifold, downpipes, and the exhaust which sucks because after the turbos and the two kits, I'm all out of money... I work as a cook at a family restaurant but don't make enough.

I got the kits and the turbos.. Now to start the engine rebuild..

The kid relocated the battery to the back so I made a custom box so it wouldn't slide around while driving..
