Make sure to get the car safe and sound before you drop in a new engine. If you put all that power in on those old crusty a** suspension and brakes it will be no fun. And you don't know how the last owner installed everything. Those floormats add horsepower too, they are pretty b****in.Please be careful not to follow too closely so we don't see aftermath pictures of your new zenki. Looks okay other than body/auto trans. Welcome to Nico.Enjoy your stay.

Edit* And damn, i thought I was bad at applying bondo

lol ya, its at my house now. I'm planning on getting suspension 1st because all of my friends say 240s need that 1st and foremost. I have researched on coils for the past few months and i think stance may be the best.Also, i want some nice wide wheels. Probably some Volk Gram Lights not sure yet tho. I just need to save some more money now.

Welcome I have a 95 zenkie with the auto too. Im thinkin on whether i should swap it also. Depends how i do on the dyno after i finish my turbo build. But from what people has said its not really that much of a difference if you got power then you have power rather it be auto or manual...

I think I would source a new door, cut and weld the fenders in prep for overfenders.

So is it just the light or is that windshield molding all dry rotted?

There actually isn't any windshield molding, I was wondering if that could cause any sort of wear on the winshield, or cause it to fall out? O.o

Nice. Looks like a couple weeks of attention and that will look pretty nice.
