92 S13 Coupe Beginnings

[riprodder]

I just recently picked up this 92 coupe for $1000 and thought I'd post a few pics. It's nothing special yet but it's got a lot of potential.
Low mileage chassis: 110K
Real 5-speed car
No major accidents, straight car for the most part
Has a Silvia front clip (still needs some work to be nice)
Faded carbon hood (+1 for lightweight)

So far I've got the front bumper fitting pretty good. I spent about a week and a half reworking the front fenders, wiring up the Silvia lights, and repairing the broken tabs on the headlights. Then I grafted in an 89-90 bumper support. The last owner had the bumper cover held on by zip ties. I've fixed both doors (drivers wouldn't open and pass. hit the fender when opening) and removed about 10lbs of useless ghetto stereo wiring. Now I'm about to rewire the radio and get that working again on the factory wiring.

It still has a ways to go before it's ready for the street, but I'm hoping to have it going next month if budget permits.

I have a new corner marker on the way.
