UPDATED PG 2, POST 39.



So i don't post much about my car here but i'm in knee deep w/ the car at the shop and figured i might as well copy and paste my build thread i posted on my local ny/nj/ct forum, Import FanatiX Car Club Home. As most east coast s13's, mine was another rust bucket. I'm sure many of you know how they leak from the brake line by the drivers side strut tower, well mine did bad enough to make a huge crack through the strut tower.So here's what was done about it:
After dropping the front cross member and stripping the engine bay, it was time to weld up the rad support because it was held on by 1, yes, 1 spot weld.(No pictures) Then we went to the fender aprons. We decided that there was too much work fixing them properly, so tub it instead.

Keep up the good work Joe, practice makes perfect:


Our late night break with the Ferrari was a blast until we rolled it...

Finishing up the welding tomorrow, then onto primer and paint after cleaning everything up.
