The start of the project.
Ok, to start us off, I have some pics of the actual car as she is in my yard. I m most likely going to keep the "pig nose" front end with the lower lip. The plans for color are Midnight Purple for most of the body, then black stretching from the hood across the top to the hatch. I will be documenting the progress on this build on this site. It will be a detailed and documented with pics so stay tuned and check back from time to time.
It has some body damage from previous owners. I will of course get that sorted before paint. Here are some examples.
rust on the hatch...this hatch has been replaced...
The trim piece behind the passenger door is broken from worn out hinges. I will get some hinges for both doors and some new trim pieces made from carbon fiber.
The driver's seat is wasted and has ot be propped up to even maintain an upright appearance. I have a replacement seats from a JDM 180sx on the way.
It's got some miles on the odometer and the speedo is broken. This will be replaced.
Looks rough under here, but runs decent. I will be doing a KA24DE swap in the near future and it will be built to handle boost.
Overall a good deal for the $1200 I paid for it, it runs and drives and is ready for a complete refit...I will post more as it happens
Update.....have started gathering parts for the refit of this car, have rear 5 lug hubs, uprights and brakes from Z32 and also a replacement stock hatch...will post pics soon
To see the parts I have started getting together, see page 2 and to see the progress see page 3.
Here I am in the "G" ride in Iraq....talk about lead sled...but it's got boost....
Found this online....I love this
