Hey just wanted to whore off my new project. it came with a hell of a start, a s13 sr20det, 2.5"FMIC, Greddy rs bov, 3" topfuel downpipe back, and stage 2 kevlar comp clutch. the wheels are hideous, the car is primer, the interior is my first task already in the works.... here some pics i took this morning...





After i bought it i realized the struts and tension rods were shot...put some tein ss coils and some adjustable tension rods

well thats all i have for now, i just gutted out the whole interior and and got my hands on a lil dye to get rid of the ugly tan carpet/headliner and some new seats... ill keep you all posted. tell me what ya think

what's with all the extra image tags guy? Nice car

i like it. another brown interior for the win.

Nice car dude, keep that SR healthy and progress with the upgrades..lookin good

niicee.. make sure you keep it clean so you can pull that off on a hatch

so i went and picked up my new seats today, awesome deal on them...



should have the interior back together in a few days... will post pics when its all done

assuming the car runs healthy and is mechanically sound, you got a great start

like you said, the rims gotta go lolI hope your converting the interior to black. Any color in particular you plan on painting the car once everythings settled?

ya im converting it to black... technically brown/black for now..lol... but no solid decisions on paint yet, budget is a lil tight... im a us marine and have a wife and new born son that come first... and uncle sam doesnt pay that well...lol

You should do tan. A fresh white exterior with clean tan interior would be sex on wheels. Most people don't like the tan interior because most of the time its beat to s*** but yours was clean.

mine was never clean, the brown dash is in great condition, and thats about it. i have before pictures of the tan carpet.... it was horrible... and the brown and black is turning out really clean as i piece it all back together...its something you dont see very often

hey where can i get that front end conversion?

Looks nice so far...what kind of seats were those that you picked up?

well honestly i had a local shop make them for me, kinda weak...i know...but they turned out awesome.. so im satisfied as they are more of a temporary seats

I have never seen a brown dash in that good of condition... Kudos!

well i finished the interior, and it looks great, the black and brown look sick. its something u dont see on every s13 tell me what ya think... ill do before pics...then how it sits now

*Before*

*And After!!*















and this is the temporary door panel setup i have... untill get the time to re-wrap them



well tell me what ya think..thanks for looking guys

so i made a few additions

and the previous owner i guess was too lazy to primer the roof, and pretty much did a terrible job primering the rest of the car, so i started with the roof and will eventually re-do the rest of it, to get a even primer... so the roof still had the factory champagne color paint...and i decided to do all the sanding by hand... not really the best choice

the begginingafter about 5 hours...ughalmost....almost finishedand the final product...turned out great

i kinda like the two toned interior, it the door panel insert were done to match the seats I'd stick with the brown dash

Looks really nice, not a big fan of sil80's but I'm watching.

Did you use nylon rattle can dye on your carpet? If so, you should of bath dyed it.
