(my project is starting to come along and i thought id post some pics of the progress up to where i am so far. i bought the car last may from a dealship in west va. the car is a 95 base model with a 5 lug swap. it also came with kyb agx's and tein springs (i will be getting some tein flex's after its painted). i got into an accident about a month after i had the car (a girl cut in front of me and i hit her and bounced into a tree) this is why i am painting it. onto the pics!

this is when i first bought the car.



accident the car would of been totaled but we didnt go through insurence.



did all the body work myself. i am getting the car sprayed at my friends bodyshop for free. im just doing all the prep work at my house.




all the rust was patched. i cut pieces of quaters off of some junk cars at my dads junk yard and used them for patches. and on the rocker i cut the rot out of the them and cut the rockers off of my s14 front clip and welded them in. so as much of a bondo bucket as it looks like it really isnt that bad.





i also set the sr in to test fit the front bumper cover with the intercooler on and so i could punch the whole out for the piping with a hydrolic hole punch i borrrowed from work.




sr back out and now its time to do the engine bay.


ew



i also cut out the battery trey and welded a piece of sheet metal i cut for it. welded and fiberglassed in


mmmmm fresh paint.










enjoy!!

 

wow..that engine bay looks AMAZING

keeping the stock color huh? NICEEE

 

Looks good, keep the updates coming, you know we're all pic ******.

 

Amen to that, looking sharp
...wtf still uses 56K, Rofflez

 

56k = 90s lol

now back to the pics?

 

56k = when I was like in the 6th grade when i was 12.....Im 21 now

good pix, nice work so far

 

its come along way, i remember that post you made a while ago when you first got it wanting to know if it was an se model, lol that was a long time ago. my car would of been totaled but we didnt go through insurance either, called a tow truck and had it towed strait to the house after the wreck.

 

^ Thats since ur from Bossier, LA and you got magic powers and what not

 

indeed, bossier clan members have magical powers, we will soon take over.

 

sick. props on fixing it yourself man, looks real good. that engine bay is definately clean. shoulda took the oppurtunity for a color change IMO.

 

thanks for all the responses guys. ya the car has gone a long way. and about changing the color. i really liked the stock color and i wanted a car that looked pretty much stock. i run almost no body mods with the exception of a jdm front bumper and lip. my fenders are neither rolled or flared.

 

DUDE IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!

 

I am in awe of your painting skills.

 

got a lot of misc work done in the past week. not much that really shows but. i got all the wheel wells and the rockers seam sealed, fixed a small hole in the front wheel well, ran all new brake and clutch lines instead of having them go up on the top of the firewall to the mc's i ran new ones from the tranny tunnel and pass side brakes down along the crossmember and back up the frame rail up the the mc's for the stealthy line tuck lol. i also got my valve cover back from the powder coating shop its reflective crome powder. i got my mr mani put on, im only using that temperarly until i go with my 2871r setup at the end of summer. i put it on with some s15 dual layer metal gaskets and a z32 turbo to mani gasket. and i also painted up the front of the motor. shes goin in tomorow for the final time. ill post pics of the lines in and then of the motor sittin in her new home tomorow. enjoy theese for now though.

 

awesome bro, and again nice job on all the painting!
