I'm new

[fairgentleman Z]

Hello everybody!!!

I will be taking delivery of my first S-13 very soon. She cost me $100 and has my father scratching his head....."Why?"

Since I'm a newbie I will need some of your help....
My biggest question is where can I find a Silvia front end conversion kit that will both have body panels in good shape and a good price. *Most front clips have no guarentee on quality of body panels.

Don't worry looks aren't my top priority (SR20DET), but obviously this car needs some attention.

Welcome to Zilvia! Looks like you have alot of work ahead of you. I'll suggest to you that before you begin asking alot of questions, make sure of our FAQ section, and search function. About 90-95% of the questions you probably have right now (including the ones you asked) have answers you can find on your own.

I'm with your dad...HOLY CRAP!!:eek: that car is a piece of junk...anyway, check this out Group buy for S13 front end conversion $885 (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23789)

People never seem to read threads all the way through. You're saying you wouldn't spend $100 on that car? It looks like a sweet *** deal considering that leaves you with a whole lot to spend and he's looking to do a front end swap anyway. I guess you could spend $100 a lot of better ways... I mean, you could buy a ****ty OBX shifter for that much... I certainly would rather have a shifter than a car.

see all that bad body is FIXED now haha
new paint job
sr
seam welded
stripped interior

damn it screams track car. sweet deal. 100 bucks...niiice.

I wish I could find a 240sx for 100 dollars, I'd jump on that really quick.

[SilviaDriver]

hell id jump on that **** too! for 100 bucks! i jumped on this s13 i got..it was FREE..and it was pretty much in the same situation as urs man!

well after looking again..its not was wrose..mine had front end driver damage and rear quater panel. and its salvage title..and might have frame damage...and a blown engine.

but if it does..u can always get it pulled. from what i hear..u can get it pulled straight again..of course it wont be the same..but its all gooood

sweet deal tho.

welcome to zilvia good find

[IchigoMae]

For a $100 you wouldnt really mind those tiny nicks and scuffs.

[misnomer]

But. . .

The question is, how does she run?

And is there rust anywhere aside the rear hatch?

Regardless, for a hundred bucks there's probably plenty of use in the car (even if she doesn't run). I would suggest checking out the car thoroughly for rust before sinking a bunch of money into it. What a way to ruin your day, spend thousands on a car only to have the floor fall out from under you.

[drift freaq]

ok for $100 its worth it . drive it till it falls apart and throw it away . hahahhahahhaha
man and I thought I could find the deals:o :( :D ;)

congrats on the score dude and welcome to ilvia hahahha

That sounds like a good deal, those rims are worth 200 at some junkyard and you could probably part it out for profit. or fix it and sell it.
