HI everyone! I already did the intro part and now just wanted to share what I have been working on. I picked up this 89 coupe in apex NC about 9 hours from me, due to the all the snow/ rust issue's living here in the snow belt. I bought the car 2 years ago ,bone stock from a 1 owner doctor who was tired of the car and just wanted somthing new. and now for some pic's
BONE stock 89
I used the car during the summer months as my daily driver, it had 192k on it so things just wear out, the suspension sucked, tranny sucked and engine smoked alot , so when I was on a business trip in California I picked up a blacktop from R&D
The suspension on the car was so mushy that I had to do somthing with it and bought a set of jic-fla1 for it, car never see's winter time here just pulled it out to take pic's of it after the install. (yes i know i need ruca's)
Winter came and gone, and I still was undecided what I was going to use the car for, its not my daily driver, So i was open to anything and started to tear her down.
Ater pulling the motor the battery tray was rusted due to years of letting shit leak, so I had to cut it all out sandblast and primer.
I work part time at a local tuning / paint shop and kept hating my stock color more and more, and deecided to paint the car before the sr went in.
Since the car was going to be used as only a weekend/nice weather car, I took out all the sound crap from inside.
Finally I decided what color that I was going with and had the local dupont store mix it for me. Went with 2007 350z carbon silver, keep it in the nissan family aleast.
Hours of sanding and preping the engine bay in the hot sun paind off.
Went to the local junk yard and found some decent int, was tired of that brown stuff.
This is where I left off at as of early july due to working crazy hours, will keep this updated. Thanks zilvia for the space
