My cars story
Well Im pretty bored and I dont think anyone here knows much about me, so I decided to share my cars story from start to present.
It all started with a call from a friend that said he had a car for me. And knowing me, he knew I was broke like always. A black s13 hatch shell with body damage. $50. When I heard the numbers I was all over it.
So here I was with a booty looking hatch with no motor/tranny/anything. What do I do next? I didnt have a job at the time, but every penny I earned went into that car. It started off with the little things: sunroof, headlights, side panels. And before I knew it, it was almost done. I found a motor from a guy for $150. (Ka powah) Went to the junkyard and found a s14. got the tranny, clutch master, and all the lines for like $75 on half off day.
Long story short it got done in about 1/2 year which I think is not bad for someone who has no job. Heres what the horrible quarter panel used to look like..
And after getting the tails to fit, I called it quits and this is what it looks like now. Still not beautiful, but driveable and legal.
When I first got it:
Now (I know sort of depressing)
More to come. Once I get wheels and coils.
