8 lbs soft build bye bye vert 1uz inside

[Urnext]

So I sold the vert and got a coupe this is the build so far. Originally it was just going to be a simple sr but the motor I got was f*** sooooooo I went another route. Oh yea i picked the car up on June 8th and have really only worked on it for 2-3 days tops


had some of this going on on the frame rail with some shotty patch work


the floors got some ventilation


dry iced the floor to get rid of the sound deadening

its got some windshield frame rust
Roll cage pics






Did this last week




I havent touched this thing for about a week but I did some of this today.....

looking great so far! stoked to see how this turn out...

[Caveit77777]

I always see those rectangle plates attached to roll cages and the car's frame and I've been wondering, whats the purpose of having circle holes in them? Make them lighter?
I like the bay color btw

its called dimple dieing, it strengthens the plates

[laxands13]

Updates?? just thought of this and had to search for it.

Unfortunately no this car got put on the back burner as I am building a s14 for FD this season. Hopefully at some point I can get rolling on this chassis again but the motor out of this car is going in the 14
