S13 Coupe & Hatch ( The project & The a donor )

[Pacio]

So here's the summary.
The hatch, (89) saved it from being junked at parts galore about 3 years ago, got it for $1000 pretty much complete stock except wheels. Had over 315k on it. And over a year ago or more, engine finally gave out a little after 335k, it's been sitting in the garage since then not sure what to do with it, has a lot of cancer sooo it wasn't really motivating to work on it.

Then came along the coupe (89) purchased it off of craigslist for $250, a beat up shell that came with only the windshields and tail lights. Everything else gutted, damaged all around the body, drilled holes, cut outs and badly banged up in the front end. A lot of work needed but hey no rust! Thus being said, the hatch would be perfect as a donor. For the most part.

Then afterwards spot welded the new front end, making sure with alignments.

Everything is fitting good.
