[chixwithtrix]

need to figure out the front light situation...right now it has the dead frog look. Probably will place the covers back on and put the lights in the bumper. Then it will look a lot better and finish it out

bought this shell for cheap before the turbo blew and just picked it up yesterday. Will be building up this shell while I drive and most likely beat up the current chassis. Plans are to finish it up and swap everything into this shell

[Naloos13]

Great thread! i have checked now and then but i finally read through the whole thing!

Where did you get those used body panels??? I am in dire need of some!

[chixwithtrix]

which set of used panels? The red and grey ones came with the shell and the cracked ones we fixed and are currently on the black car I was given/bought for cheap.

[Naloos13]

The M-sports kit and the charge speed rear overs? Are there any more available for sale?

[chixwithtrix]

I didn't buy them from a business; the charge speed over fenders were really damaged so I traded a radiator and cash on his end to a friend for 'em. The M-Sports kit was also bought from a friend of mine for cheap because it was damaged. We just fixed it all up to look good

[bored.40]

Amazing job!! Just amazing!

[eidk]

Anything new?

[7x13xRPS13]

awesome thread.

we need more girls with 240s that know what they're doing

[chixwithtrix]

Yes, finally another update!

wow, a lot has happened since my last update. My classes are tough this semester and work is crazy with the economy so things haven't been moving too quickly. Also started another business doing vinyl so doing designs have been sucking up my time too. Just recently some things have changed for the good...

First we chased the FedEx man down for a new turbo...

I've been looking for a new turbo after the 2835's seals went. Found a good deal on one NIB so I picked it up. My bf (Ian) and I were driving into the neighborhood last Friday and saw a FedEx truck about to leave, Ian pulled the little truck's ebrake and tried to swing it around (mostly failing lol, old Tacoma), and go chase the FedEx man down before he turned onto the highway. He did indeed have the package and we brought it home to open it up...

Garrett 3076r w/ .82 and 1.06 exhaust houstings. Hopefully soon the RB will be back in business with mopowah!

Next thing is that I picked up a shop with Ian and some other friends. As I've said in this thread the space at our house is bad, and that damn hill driveway sucks since I couldn't lower my car any more. We started looking a few months ago and found a place the end of last month. Hopefully good things will start happeneing with the addition of the shop...still a lot of work to be done.

Our garage after a little cleaning

The small storage facility that got overwhealmed too quick...

The shop at the beginning

Our stuff is just thrown in there for now, we will be building shelving to make more room

The shop as it was a few days ago, the G20 has now been moved outside. Once we get some time we will organize the shop better. Looking forward to Spring Break when we can finish moving in!

I should be taking my RB 240 over there soon as well as bringing up my caged shell in Houston. Spring break is next week and we'll probably be living at the shop for most of the week lol.

^ wow thats cool, did you guys just buy a warehouse or are you renting it out?

[addisonblck]

ballin outta conrtol lol

[StandardProspect]

wow, awesome shop. all those nissans in there! so cool. I would kill for that. nice turbo. keep up the good work.

[chixwithtrix]

^ wow thats cool, did you guys just buy a warehouse or are you renting it out?

we're renting on a 1 year lease right now

wow, awesome shop. all those nissans in there! so cool. I would kill for that.

the funny part is that my cars that are fully mine aren't even in there right now. My previous daily S13 I'm now selling is parked outside, my caged shell is still in Houston, and my RB 240 is here at my house yet. Once I get those gals over there there will be....

1 240Z1 280Z shell1 G201 S13 coupe5 S13 hatches

The G20 (my bf's which he is currently selling) is SR20det swapped, and you can see in one of the photos there is a RB25 sitting off to the side. It is also my bf's engine waiting to go into his 240Z project...and of course there is my RB25 240sx. The black S13 hatch facing out with the red toolbox in front of it is a friend of mine's who will be doing a RB26 swap....lots of Nissan love

Once the other guy moves in there will be Mustangs since he is a Mustang guy, but the Nissans will still out number lol

[White Comet]

love the cage in the shell. any rust on it?

[chixwithtrix]

some rust on the cage where it wasn't fully painted. Just surface though. The car has a bit of rust on the front drivers side frame rail that is pretty common.

[MastaYu]

nice shell!

[mRodiek]

True, mine has the rust there as well, not too bad though-we wanna see plenty of pics of this beast.
