Daily Driver style S13 build

[WangonwWarrior]

I bought it from my friend back in august of '07 for $200. Its a 1991 S13 coupe converted to 5speed. It was rough after sitting for about 2 years. First thing i did was clean all the junk out. I should have taken more pics during the build but this is it. All of this was done driveway style (lots of grease stains now :rawk: )
Then i pulled whats left of the engine

[WagDatto]

Don't ever say 'Do Work' again. Wetsand that thing! Lookin' clean, good job on the engine bay.

[an_orange_s2k]

that thing is hella clean

[WangonwWarrior]

Thanks guys, this paint job barley cost anything for me to do in the driveway, doing it the rattlecan way probably cost more lol. I recommend for anyone considering spraypainting their cars, look into single stage painting first. This was my first time ;)

More pics:
S14 seats and i ditched the electric seatbelts for s14 belts (they bolt right in). HUD swapped for standard gauges and crown royal shift boot fabbed up by yours truly. Its still dusty from all that sanding

that boot rocks man. hahhaa.

[khmer1]

yea i do everything on my driveway parents got pissed because of all the oil stain and what not on light grey cement


damn ima rock that boot too just gave me an idea nice one

[shade]

Not bad. How old are you? Ditch the emblem.

What was wrong with the motor? What did you do to it?

[firelizard]

Word! That's a nice quick and simple DD build, I dig it. Obviously paint isn't 'like woah', but fuck, it's driveway single stage, it looks great for what it is.

[DJButton]

I rike, I rike, vair nice! :bow: Gotta love the driveway build-ups!

[96Turbo]

props son. looks good. I'm lovin the shift boot. My drink of choice: Coke & crown. For when i feel like spoiling myself after drinking keystone all week

[SW20Racer]

good looking so far man! take some up close of the paint when its buffed and shit.

[niSm095]

looks good, what all did you do to paint it? I'm looking to flat black my car here shortly.

Im 18 years old and im still debating on the emblem. The motor was missing a lot of parts cause someone tried to put on a new HG and quit halfway through. I tore into it and found a worped head and blown headgasket so i sent off the cylinder head get decked and cleaned after that me and some friends threw it back together

[rowdogg03]

+1 for you

Looks a lot better than it did, but the engine bay looks like it was rush when painted.
