[troyw]

picking this car up tommorow for only 750 bucks and that includes the seller towing to my house i know the rear quarter panel is messed up but can be fixed easly it is a 5spd and has uncracked dash and decent milage 180,000

[troyw]

ill be duing allot of work to it and will be posting pics just let me know what you guys think

[speedeast]

Well, for $750 you can't go too terribly wrong. Just make sure you do that quarter right and not fill it in with a gallon of filler, lol. Good luck!!!

[TJcars2]

Sweet find. I'm guessing since he's towing it that it doesn't run?

[troyw]

no way im actually going to get down there and do some good old sheet metal work and yah it doesnt run rats got to the wiring harness and chewed the a couple of wires and it need a battery and new tires but nothing drastick

[troyw]

and sorry about the spelling im tired as hell

[TJcars2]

'Tis cool. Good luck with the wiring though. I personally think wiring is a pita.

[troyw]

i sadly enough love doing wiring i dont know why but it is one of my favorite to do to a car its weird plus luckily enough i actually know what the hell im doing when it comes to it also unlike some cars ive seen

[troyw]

ill have some better pics in a couple of days

[240sxJoe91]

And here is after i used a scissor jack as a temp fix im also going to be doing body work lol its so fun Good luck post some bigger pics when you get the car

[troyw]

[troyw]

[troyw]

let me know what you guys think

[driftin_sr20det]

You got some work ahead of you! But looks like a good place to start... Keep us posted

[troyw]

finnally got it home after the truck and trailer decided to go into a ditch but it got here so here are some pics

[zacmil]

Just looking at that interior makes me feel a little sick. Oh well, I suppose you've got to start somewhere. What are your plans for it? Oh... and good luck with the build

[troyw]

yah the interior is a bit dirty but hey no cracks in the dash woohoo and clean it up fix the damn quarter panels for sure and im most likely going to be going ka-t but if not im going rb and im planing on doing the silvia front end swap or ill just get a pig nose

[troyw]

fixed the harness today were the rats chewed through some wires and will have more pics soon

[troyw]

hey does anyone know where to get a good swap from i was thinking of going with g-dimension or phase2motortrend does anyone know of any others

[troyw]

so a little bit of an update i i put a new coil in and a dizzy new plugs and wires and was getting spark but no fuel so i listend for the fuel pump it was working so i thought well hell its pretty much out of gas so i put some in and tried still no gas the to filter or injectors so i poped the cover off of the fuel pump to find that the people before me had undone the fuel outlet and return line so all of my gas was just shooting out into my driveway yay (i thought i smelt gas) aparently the people before me were f***ing idiots and forgot to mention that when i bought the car

[snowyred180]

Awe man, I love "cool" former owners. The previous owner, now know simply as "The cool guy" removed the gas tank and spare tire are of my hatch to put in a fuel cell. Good luck with yours. And I'm sure with a little elbow grease that interior will clean up nicely. Tip: Passenger side seats directly unbolt from the bottom half of the seat and fit on the driver's side to fix that rip... sincei t'sway easier to find an unripped pass. side!

[troyw]

thanks for the good coment and yah i planed on doing the switching the seat backs and yah i need to get in there and clean is up but its been like -5 degrees here lately so havnt realy got much done and im about to head to zautozone to get some new fuel lines

[gnvarnadore]

dude just trash the seats and get S14 seats, IMO its one of the best things I've done to my S13.

[troyw]

ahh im just not a fan of the s14 seats im probably just going to reapolster these ones in the future

[troyw]

nice coupe by the way and what size are your ears mine were an inch for the longest damn time

[gnvarnadore]

have them redone all the way with new padding and everything, it makes a world of difference to have nice firm foam in your seats. For me it was just easier to drop in S14 seats than to find someone to redo my S13 seats. i wish you all the luck in the world with your coupe. Im a big time coupe lover.

my ears are only 9/16's, i want to stretch them to 1 inch as my end goal but i just cant bring myself to buying new tapers and going all the way to 1" with my current job being a cabinet builder and having to deal with customers on a daily basis. my boss is cool with my piercings but i know the general pubic isnt cool with it. funny thing is my ears get more attention than my snake bites which i think is odd because its not everyday you see someone with a pierced lip.

yah dont worry ill do the seats right luckily my mom used to reapolster furniture all the time and i helped her allot so it wont be to bad and yah i know what you mean i used to have an 18 inch mohawk and and my ceptum is an 8 gauge and my libret is pierced i had my tounge at a 0 for a while but that b**** hurt

[yvang07]

What were they doing with that roll of paper towels? A good friend of mine had a 93 coupe also. It kicked a**.Restore her to her former glory

[gnvarnadore]

ive wanted my septum pierced for a long time but out of respect for my mom ive never got it done because she said if i ever got it pierced she would disown me. ive had my libret pierced a total of 3 times because i would always take it out and ive had my eyebrow pierced 4 times. you wouldn't know it but i hate getting pierced, its not the pain of having it done but the pain/soreness during healing that sucks to me. tattoos on the other hand are like heaven on earth, the smell of the green soap and the sound of the machine, i don't think there is anything in the world better than that. i will admit that it does suck to tattoo yourself but hey its the only way to get better at it when you don't have the time to do an apprenticeship.

[troyw]

yah i know what your talking about i used to work in a shop i love the damn smell of green soap too and thank god im going to get my ribs finished next week yay
