My new s13 shell

Well, most yall know about the death of my red s13 (if not, search). I brought home my new shell a few days ago, but just got around to taking pics (I'm moving and all). Here they are, along with my wheels.

sorry for the dark pics. I don't have much time to do stuff during the day with work and all. I'll post lighter pics when me and my brother start doing the motor swap. It looks really high because it has no motor in it btw.






OH NO'S! The infamous se cancer causing spoiler attacks. Good thing I have an extra car huh?!


My wheels. 16x7 +15 monoblocs (like knockoff racing harts)




Most of the offset is in the rear, rather than on the face (< like a 'deep dish'), so instead of looking deep, they are a deeper offset, without a deep lip, the lugs are just sunken deeper down more to the middle of the wheel (I was hoping for a deep lip though ) They shouldn't have any trouble clearing z32 calipers though.


I know it's rough, but It'll be nice someday. My brother and I are going to try an paint it when the wheather gets better around here, but neither of us have painted a car before, hopefully we do decently, lol. (we're going to practice on the trunk lid and bumper first)

No, I made my own. Cut out the yellow with a dremel and and put in plastic from a light fixture cover. Thanks though. If oyu have a oem front lip though, I'd take that. I want to put it on my chuki bumper

Here's some new pics, a little lighter. The car looks really tall cause it has no motor in the engine bay (Already pulled it)



Uh... I think something's missing...


I got crap all over the place from under the hood. The extra center piece with a shift boot lets my intentions show. 5 speed biatch .


Rusty trunk lid with duct tape to keep the rain out :P . Wanna buy an oem spoiler? lol.

No, The guy I bought it from had the hood off to pull the motor, but never got around to it. When I went pick it up, it was pretty late. So I just stuck the hood on there, and latched it all up without connecting it, just for the towe home.

Burninator, do you know a kid named Keaton Zimmerman. I htink his dad was a pirinciple or something down in Oklahoma near the city you live in. Maybe not though, but hey, it's a small world.
