Hello!

I started this build 2.5 years ago, didn't exactly know where it would go, had not decided on what chassis I was going to use, but I had my first motor built at Canadian Cylinder Head (Graham) in Toronto. I had 3 S14's before deciding that I would use my 97 chassis to turn into a full racecar.

I'm sure there is much much more I am missing, but here are some pics - enjoy!

I started the tear down at home in the garage with minimal space and gathering tools as I went along -

Spot weld removal of the front end, and test fit some areo -

Got the car over to a friends house for some heavy fabrication work -

Started on the front end before getting into the cage or rear tube -

We decided to go with a fully removable front end for easy access at the track for any work needed - and for simple replacement in case of a crash -

Installed some areocatch pins since we had no more rad support -

Trimming the front fenders

Test fitment of corner lights

Lower rad support removable tabs

Started on fitting the lights and bumper

Light bar finished ready to be fully welded up

Started gathering material for the rest of the car

We got the main hoop finished, and decided to gusset it to the chassis -

We later decided the main hoop could be higher for head room clearance -

So we boxed it up and got it exactly where we wanted -

Removed the side gussets and now they weren't needed

Started working on front window gussets

Clean tig welds in between each gusset for added stiffness

Break time....

Looking clean and good head room now -

After cutting and fitting each and every bar we could with the material we had, we labeled everything to be finalized and welded the next day

Fitment is everything

Lots of bars added, and started on a rear firewall

Fast forward and we have got the rear end semi finished and making sure everything fits properly

Got the car back home for some more body work and paint

Got the car over to my buddies barn and started to strip the chassis down for paint

Test fitting over fenders for the last time before finalizing them

Put the clutch and transmission on with the one piece shaft and got the engine in quick.

Driver side complete

Fast forward again, gave the engine bay a quick cover and clear before mounting the engine -

Getting there

I will give updates as I progress over this winter!

Thanks, Chad Dugan
