This car started off as a fairly stock S13 convertible. In fact, it was the first one I ever drove, before I bought my black one.

2 years later, I bought it from the guy, with the intentions of restoring it, with mild mods, with my son (for him to drive).

He never did get real excited about it, and the further we got into it, the less motivated we both got.

So, I parted it out, made my money back.

The shell sat around for a while, until Dave (the guy who does any paint / body I need) inquired about the "free shell"... He came and picked it up, and I thought, "LOL no one can rebuild THAT car, hahaha".

Well, here's the project:

Here it is after I gutted it:

Whole car is being built around the wheels and body kit - It's getting 18x10 -20 in the front, 18x13 -16 in the rear...

Wheel size is posted.

Tire size is freakin' huge, I dunno.

Rear of the car is going to be shortened 8", front to be shortened as well.

Don't forget a roll cage so you don't DIAF.

Although the size is a little large for my tastes, those are some sweet sweet wheels.

It'll have a ton of power... He's talking boosted LSx or VH45DETT.

Methinks he's talking about the silvia in the background of the 1st. pic (although that FD is insane).

The 'Vert has an FD hatch and C6 QP's.

Interesting build; im sure it'l come out very cool in a unique way.

Im wondering not about that pink car, but about the Caddy on the lift with the trunk popped.. loading bodies or drugs in there?
