Project: SR-71 (Datsun 240Z/S13)

[boost_dependent]

I tried posting this 3 days ago, but it doesn't seem to have ever posted.


I have been building this for almost 2 years now in my spare time on a very limited budget in a 1 car garage. I have fabbed in an S13 rear subframe and complete IRS setup. Also, I fabbed in the S13 crossmember to utilize all of the S13 suspension compenets and rack etc. I'm using the SR engine from my wrecked S13 that I almost died in. In order to make all this work, I ended up making my own strut towers and extending the wheelbase forward 7.5" This also made the wheelbase just about equal to the S13. The Datsun now has a wheelbase of 98.2" This is far from finished as I still have tons to do before it's finished. I try to do a little every weekend if I can.

Warning there are hundreds of pics because I try to document as much as I can. It's sad that I'm a photographer and end up taking the photos of this build with my cell phone lol But, I find it difficult to do all the work and be the photographer. I'll break out my D-SLR and take some photos later down the road.
