Officer Mikeys clean S13 Rb build!

So first off I want to start out by thanking Douglas Smith and Erik RittttttchhhhheeRR of U.P. Garage cause with out their help and knowledge I would still be building pieces of shit like the rest of you. . So I've built a few pieces of shit over the years and ended up with a lot of parts. Decided to find an S13 shell to build my final car that blows everything else out of the water. Oh and I've built some complete fail and wasted a ton of money in very dumb places.

I'm gonna post a few pictures as I go but heres a link to the whole album

So I got an S13 from oregon that was a shell. I overlooked a minor detail upon purchase and that was the fact that the car had frame damage.





I decided to buck up and fix it due to it being a full power car with a clean title. Ripped apart the frame, body, and firewall to replace it with good straight parts the correct way.



New panels and frame rail welded in here. Much grinding to be done




Once the damage was fixed I made the decision to weld up everything and round out everything. And yes the frame is reinforced behind the welds. It is stronger then it was before.
