Badbob's New Project Build ~ SR20det GT2871 ~ More Updates

[badbob2121]

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

[brandonDavid]

[slidestyle69]

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

[laxands13]

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

[badbob2121]

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

[SketchyRollin564]

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?

[badbob2121]

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

[Andy4106]

hey where can i get that front end conversion?

[Aoshi1]

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

[badbob2121]

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

[zach-Ka]

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

[badbob2121]

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

[badbob2121]

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

[svairman]

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

[JStrateger]

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.
