so as the title states I have been building my s13 for about 5 years now started as a clean shell under 100k hadn't had an engine in it in the 7 years before I bought it
Attachment 94187
Attachment 94188
for some god forsaken reason I painted the engine bay green, still to this day I don't know why but it didn't look to bad
Attachment 94191
I bought a wrecked car and stole the engine out of it and built it, just a dual cam ka but I worked at a machine shop at the time so I went through and rebuilt it, did a bunch of head work and a stock bottom end
Attachment 94189
Attachment 94190
Attachment 94192
did a full engine and engine bay wiring tuck, removed a lot of unnecessary stuff and got her in the car
Attachment 94193
Attachment 94194
Attachment 94195
fuse boxe was disassembled, everything was reran and wired into a custom fuse box upside down inside the glove box (blue wires are not left as all blue wires haha just temporary to test things before I ran the harnesses)
Attachment 94199
interior went in and back together
Attachment 94196
and after about 6 months of work she ran and drifted
Attachment 94197
Attachment 94198
Attachment 94200
after that it was small upgrades and little things
interior work
Attachment 94213
new cleaner bumpers and hatch, hood, and wheels, new suspension all around with upgraded arms and braces and whatnot, never got any pictures of that stuff though

Attachment 94201
Attachment 94202
but like all good things eventually it had to come to an end which in my case came as a spun bearing
Attachment 94216
Attachment 94217
so I decided it was time to move on and do a swap so engine came out, I bought an sr and have been building it and the chassis at the same time

Attachment 94210
Attachment 94211
Attachment 94212
Attachment 94215
Attachment 94203
Attachment 94204
Attachment 94205
Attachment 94206
Attachment 94208
Attachment 94207
Attachment 94214
Attachment 94209
which brings us to now, sr20det swap, top mount turbo, wire tuck in the works, nx digital cluster, lots and lots of work with no end in sight

(this is only a cursory start the the thread I will be going back over what I posted and cleaning it up and adding things, just did this real quick since I had access to an actual computer to load the pictures)
