Looks super!

I finally finished stripping out the old rear interior and coating it in The under coating. And some more cool oem parts came in too. here are some pics guys.

The Interior coated



Cig lighter/Power Outlet That will most likely never be used.



New Ashtray That will never see any ashes




And some new wipers arms because i lost mine lol and the old ones were faded anyways



More new interior parts should be here throughout the week and i will be making a stop in Clermont, Florida to see my friends at enjukuracing.com to pick up all of my rear suspension stuff to build my rear subframe up and get her 1 step closer to getting my motor in the car and then send this bad boy to get that perfect paint. and finish her up hopefully

GOD!!!! so clean. This is the route I've taken with my s13 as well. I just need a daily to finish paint. Coating the bottom and wheel wells are such a PITA but so worth it. Any plan to coat the rears?

I work at local dealer here in Orlando, FL i actually order all the parts myself and do a lot of research sometimes to find certain parts at different dealerships across the states. Alot of it comes out of a big overstock Warehouse Nissan uses out in the Midwest and most of these parts have been on shelves for years in there boxes collecting dust

[Keenan Galley]

This thread is insane lol...looks great dude!

[ZenkiDeven19]

Dude thank you for blessing us woth this amazing build! How much was the rb25 btw?

[ferrariowner123]

Im digging that you are sticking to OEM parts, i would love to redo my Pathfinder like this.

Keep it up man, what else do you have planned to be replaced.

[Konster]

Car looks awesome man. Btw do you still have the oem Chuki lip by any chance?

Didn't van know the cig lighter is still available. Going to order one tonight......

[killer240]

Wow very jealous having all that new new

Keep it coming. Very interested to see about refinishing the oem interior

[supersayianjim]

do you have the part number for the left hand rubber mounding in the door??

[10psitx]

This is one of the best build threads happening right now!! i am truly impressed that you are going to such lenghts to acquire these parts. I would love to do the same to my hatch. Do you just order the parts or do you have to find them where they are located and then order them?

I ask as i have a Friend that is a Tech at nissan and i would like to have him order some stuff.

[Mikester]

Awesome work man!

If you need a set of 180SX rear windows to finish out- LMK... Pretty sure I'm gonna be parting out soon; and I still have the set I brought back from Japan still sitting in the box I packed them in from 2008. I will also have an immaculate Type-X rear seat and some other fairly rare 180SX bits you may be interested in.

Love what you're doing- balancing OEM longevity/style, aesthetics, reliability & performance. Very cool to see another enthusiast with this much attention to quality.

I do a lot of locating and waiting on back ordered parts and calling different
dealerships that might have these parts in stock.
