89 Hatch Build-$300 shell to clean daily

[Rustys14]

I also figured I would use this thread to keep track of my other builds and have everything in one place so here is a update on my other two 240 builds starting with the two-tone!

I had been using the two-tone as a daily for awhile so progress has been super slow but I figured I would give an update.

First up I got a awesome deal on a Silvia front that I couldn't pass up. It also was a great way to get rid of the giant hole in the stock piggy bumper from the previous owner rear-ending a trailer hitch.



I also scored a great deal on some Battle Version tension rods so those went on.



Ended up doing rear suspension and installing some Silk Road coils while I was at it. The Silk Roads are old but are still in fantastic shape and I love the way the ride, I don't think I'll ever get rid of them lol.


Got this awesome wheel from Pink Godzilla when they were having a sale. It was cheap but I love how it feels and I think it gives the interior a classy look.


I also ended up trading my go pro for a set of Super Advan Sa3r's that I think fit the car very well.


So at this point I was pretty happy with the car and getting ready to take it in for paint and have the 1/4 damage from the previous owner repaired when the Ka decided it wanted to let go on my way to a friends house.


So in need of a new motor I went to a few of the local importers and stumbled across this.


Also found a pic from back when both cars were actually running


I still have to do the 60K service on The CA18 and order a WSP harness but I should have it up and running in a couple weeks. I'm super excited since I've owned most of the other Nissan motors but this is my first CA so its something new. The motor is STUPID clean too.
