"On a budget" s13 Build
Whats going on guys.. I finally decided to post some pics of my s13 as i build it. I did not put **Do Not Post** just for the reason that i dont mind if people post on here and share their thoughts. I am open to advices and constructive critisism..
The story behind the car...  I originally bought this car 2 years ago from an old lady. The car was flawless, 99k original miles, ice cold a/c and everything working. It was originally auto but i made it 5 speed the 2nd day i had it. It was suppossed to be a track carso i gudded the whole interior and swapped out my old welded diff. I took it out to an old go kart track to practice and the motor blew in an hour.. wooo hoooo... I decided to sell the shell and just concentrate on my RHD. so, i sell the shell to some kid locally. After he swapped in an sr, cage, coils, wheels. ect.. he decided that he wanted to stick woth hondas. He sold it to my friend and he drove it for a few months. Then, he got a hold of a 180sx shell so he bought that and swapped everything over. I eventually bough the shell back and i am currently working on it to finish what i started. lol... Here are some pics.. The first day i got it.. 2 years ago... After the 5 speed swap.. Only pic that i could find. lol This is after i bought the shell back.. I dont have any pics of it when my friend had it. This is the start.. Preping for paint. i have never done any body work at all, so this was going to be a learning experience for me. Spraying for the first time!!! Woot Woot... I had to put it on hold for a few months because i just moved with my roomates and i had to pay off pocket for the fall semester but this is how its sitting now.. Just waiting for the swap and suspension.. The interior is done for now. just need some harnesses and a cage in the future. The back was rattle caned just to match for now. I will keep updating the thread as i go. My BIG spec list. lol Sparco Speed seat Tein tie Rods Welded diff MOMO wheel As far as motor goes, i am going back and forth from an s14 sr and an 25.. comments are welcome... |

Not bad for a first timer! The primer? Came out looking good but you should invest in a mask they're like 30$ because that red towel won't do anything for you, those chemicals are extremely bad for your body.
