Picked up a non complete s14.5 that had been built beat and left out in the elements to Die.. Oh yeah someone genuis had installed a huge sunroof on it which leaked like a mojo and painted (rattle canned ) the top 50% of the car...

Cons when i first picked her up.

She was over revved with a Down Shift from hell
5th to 2nd and kaboom bye bye top end...
not to mention when all of this happened he was on the freeway and the hood flew up ( tommy boy style ) funking up the VIS S15 CF Hood
she had a bad boost leak and a T28 that had been starved of the proper oil it needed as they had a jimmy rigged banjo bolt ( of sorts ) out of the block feeding the turbo. Also had compressor surge from the leak being at the Greddy downpipe, sounded like a turkey LOL

First thing addressed was the fender and headlight bracket assembly. The front bumper was literally bracketed to the Head light assembly and drooping... Welding time

Next we addressed new brake pads all around. the fronts came with 6 piston rotoras very nice indeed !
