been building a s13 for years finally decided to make a post

so as the title states I have been building my s13 for about 5 years now started as a clean shell under 100k hadn't had an engine in it in the 7 years before I bought it

for some god forsaken reason I painted the engine bay green, still to this day I don't know why but it didn't look to bad

I bought a wrecked car and stole the engine out of it and built it, just a dual cam ka but I worked at a machine shop at the time so I went through and rebuilt it, did a bunch of head work and a stock bottom end

did a full engine and engine bay wiring tuck, removed a lot of unnecessary stuff and got her in the car

fuse boxe was disassembled, everything was reran and wired into a custom fuse box upside down inside the glove box (blue wires are not left as all blue wires haha just temporary to test things before I ran the harnesses)

interior went in and back together

and after about 6 months of work she ran and drifted

after that it was small upgrades and little things
interior work
Attachment 94213
new cleaner bumpers and hatch, hood, and wheels, new suspension all around with upgraded arms and braces and whatnot, never got any pictures of that stuff though

but like all good things eventually it had to come to an end which in my case came as a spun bearing

so I decided it was time to move on and do a swap so engine came out, I bought an sr and have been building it and the chassis at the same time

which brings us to now, sr20det swap, top mount turbo, wire tuck in the works, nx digital cluster, lots and lots of work with no end in sight

(this is only a cursory start the the thread I will be going back over what I posted and cleaning it up and adding things, just did this real quick since I had access to an actual computer to load the pictures)
