Wow man this thing is gonna turn out so nice! Great build.

MikeisNissan · 03-05-2008, 11:53 PM

Gosh having more men that's as good as you in hand it a plus. I wish I had determined guy's to work with, my dad sometimes, but I don't like to bother him or make him work much.

jspec240 · 03-06-2008, 12:01 AM

Very nice thread. Great detail!!! +1

96Turbo · 03-06-2008, 12:05 AM

vair nice!!! That thing has come a long way!! I very much dig the engine bay color, valve cover color, and the fact that you painted the block. Everything looks hella clean. +1 for building something that most people wouldn't dare touch into something bad ass.

astrophixvox · 03-06-2008, 12:22 AM

Truly amazing!!!

PuffinPuffer · 03-06-2008, 01:20 AM

nice work so far man, keep it up!!

HyperTek · 03-06-2008, 03:27 AM

im i the only one that thinks building on this chassis is a piss poor idea?? cool progress but dam id jus wait for another car to come along.... surely you can find a virgin s13 somewhere.. theres always gonna be that doubt in your mind that "what if..".

i think this is the same car, shits been floating the net for a while

someone obiously smashed the shit out of the front and thought this would be a cool fix job

but i respect you got some major patients building that car and alot of devotion

tschad · 03-06-2008, 03:43 AM

Those pictures are the guy I bought the car from. And no the car wasnt in a wreck he just thought he was better fabricator then what he actually was. He cut a perfectly good car almost into 1/3 including the fenders and hood. I bought the car for a $100 bucks and it had no rust what so ever. I didnt mind putting the time into it, it honestly didnt take that long to put back to OEM spec. This thing is honestly stronger now then when Nissan built the car. Thanks everyone on the comments, more updates soon.

I have a very hard time believing someone sold you that whole car for $100.

I want proof

I believe it...

It had none of the fucking front shit.

That's a pain in the ass.

You can't just ziptie your front panels together and have your front suspension just chillin like that.

Well, you could but your car would probably suck more than a Cavalier.

*kingkilburn* · 03-07-2008, 04:17 AM

Can we get some high res pics of your paint? Red and black. I'm interested in your choice in black and very interested in the method used for the flake in the red(read it in the paint flake thread).

Nice build!

drift freaq · 03-07-2008, 11:52 AM

I have seen tubular front end builds like above on S chassis's before, for track cars. Done right it will work. Beyond looking at the pics that Hypertek posted its hard to say if the previous owner was doing it right.

I will give you major props for rebuilding the car like you did though. Thats fucking off the hook in the dedication and work department.

I would personally not even bother going there myself due to lots of S chassis's still intact floating around SoCal.

Though I can and will respect your efforts and say its looking pretty damn clean.

*S13Boosts* · 03-07-2008, 11:53 AM

i do gotta say that shit is the shit! +1 shits hot hahah!

240trainee · 03-07-2008, 12:04 PM

Yea, props for making that car solid again, those pics have been floating around forever, and the comments are always there goes a perfectly good car.

Kinda funny.

ThAzOLa · 03-07-2008, 01:19 PM

definetly sick project!

sfljdmej2 · 03-07-2008, 01:39 PM

CoasTek240 · 03-07-2008, 06:00 PM

im glad to see another s chasis has been saved.
Mad props on your Fab skills and dedication, as well as your supporting cast (wife, friend who help you build your car, etc.)

good luck man. Keep us updated.

ill_concepts · 03-07-2008, 06:15 PM

CLean build!! Updates!!!

HyperTek · 03-07-2008, 06:22 PM
