The "I was bored so I bought another vert" build thread.

[holemilk00]

Ok guys, I've built a few cars, never really followed up with a real build thread. Did one in the premie section for my other vert way back when. But I'm going to try it with this one.


Background on the car:
Bought the car locally and saved it from being a drift car. The guy had started taking some of it apart and lost interested and bought a bike. Its pretty straight, no accidents, clean title, and is a really good base to start with. I bought it because I want a nice daily driver that I can enjoy since I don't drive my black car other than the occasional weekend here and there. I had been looking for another two tone shell to swap all my stuff over to from my rusty one, but after three years of looking I decided to just do this car instead. Here are some pics of when it first came to the shop.

So the first order of business is the part that isn't so glorious. The tear down. Started with what was left with the front of the car. I plan to use the silvia front from my two tone so all this had to go.





And more tear down.












Also pulled the interior apart and got the vert doors off the car. I have regular doors for the car as well as mostly new condition interior.







Next up was getting the suspension straightened out so I could fit the wheels and roll the fenders before paint. So I had to install the suspension all around and then fit the front fenders.

Suspension is:

Stance GR+Pro's
Stance RUCA's
Stance Toe Arms
Stance Traction Arms
Stance Sub-Frame Solid Bushings
Suspension Tech Anti-swap bars

Also did an OEM five lug swap. (Just using the white wheels for mock up) But the rear ride height is where I want it.
