Hey, all this is kind of a pickle. I drive a 8th gen si(Shakes bag of rice) and I wanted a good project/drift car so premature and I bought an 91 s13 hatch that had everything in it just didn't start. Got it to start and such. I am in some trouble here. The car's ext. is pretty bad for the most part, would need some bondo love and a paint job imo all one color though. The int. is pretty nice only thing wrong was driver seat on the door side the metal part showing n stabbing people, from what I have research seems like that is normal. Also has the normal spoiler rust shit. My problem is I have a rust hole thru the floor(driver side) and the same spot starting to show on the other side. To make matters even worse I have a rb25det ready to go.

My question is...Should I get a clean shell and do that or put it into this and fix all the problems? I was leaning for clean shell (fresh start). I'm looking for ppl's 0.02. I live in IL if anyone has a not so bad shell. :)

Well, seaching is one thing. But I was looking for more input, such as if anyone has fix ALOT of body work on their s13 kinda want there 0.02.

IMO I was thinking of just getting a different shell, because this super hicas thing. I wanna drift and it would be easier to getting a shell with an open dif also I could simple fix alot of my problems with the s13 I have now.

Pics are on the way to help judge.

bro if you got the super hicas shell now take out the front sterring rack keep that its better than stock get the vlsd out of the rear sub frame of the super hicas you can rob the bigger front lower control arms too
if you want, clean it up a bit and try to get a few dollars for the shell then go get another one.
im not a body expert and have done lil body work but i know you dont want to play with rust in your floor boards exsecially after you drop in that new engine.
do it right do it once
