Sebs S13 180sx - Canada
Hey guys,
Quick introduction. I grew up in Ontario, 9 years ago I moved half way across the country to Saskatchewan. When I arrived I bought a church, turned it into a garage. Started filling it with barn finds and write-offs. Travelled alot for work and got married. Made it a priority over the past couple years to complete these projects. One of which is a 93 Nissan 180sx. My very first car was a 240sx, it was such a lemon. And it was rotten as well, it was a love, hate relationship. I always told myself I would build another one. I came across this car in 2012. It was a write-off, I bought it from a junkyard. My original intention was to find a clean chassis and swap everything over. Never found what I was looking for in my price range, and within reasonable distance. I decided to repair this chassis, and surprisingly the damage wasn't too bad. My goals for this car are to have a presentable, reliable, clean car with the potential to hit a track day here and there. My priority is to continue updating this thread, stay committed and to do so with any hosting source other than photobucket ! ![]() This is my church, it's been a long-term project. I originally bought it for 1500, but I have invested alot of my time to get it to this point. And there is still alot more to do. It serves primarily as a storage unit. Not related to the car, but it's unique and a good story. ![]() ![]() This was the beginning, put it up on the frame machine to make a couple pulls and verify everything was in spec. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I brought it home afterwords and chopped up and parted out this chassis to bring the 180sx back to life. ![]() The most consuming part was removing the brake lines to repair the frame, which ment removal of the subframe as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The chassis I used to rob parts from ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() New frame and rocker panel installed ![]() Swapping over all the door guts ![]() ![]() The pressure line had some damage from the crash ![]() Close call here, I have learned the hard way in the past ![]() Subframe back in ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My priority leading up to this point is to pass both a structural and mechanical safety. I have to play by the rules for the time being. Moving forward there is a long list of primarily performance related mods to come. I feel build threads are dieing, and although this will not live up the standard zilvia has produced over the years. This is my contribution and I hope you enjoy! ![]() - Seb Last edited by Donedreamin; 02-04-2020 at 09:17 AM.. |
