So I picked up a 93 coupe base model yesterday for a great price. It's champagne with a brown interior, has 130k or so on the odo, doesnt run, it's automatic, but the body is pretty straight. My plans for this build are to bring it back to OEM spec as much as possible, going to keep the aftermarket stuff limited to factory improvements that arent flashy or really aftermarket looking, just going for clean OEM and new, hell I'm even going to repaint it the same color and keep the interior! I have a five speed swap and a good KADE long block that will make there way into this car. Any input or suggestions is great.



some s14 seats I bought to throw in it.

some kyb agxs that will go on to, still debating on wether or not I'm going to throw on some tein lowering springs on, I'll probably end up keeping it at stock ride heigth so I won't have to worry about dips and speed bumps and stuff.

the pics I'll be posting for a while are from my cell phone because my camera just crapped out on me. Anyone have a good digi cam for sale? lol

Why do you want to keep it stock(ish)?

Anyways, the body looks pretty clean. Good luck.

I already have another s13 that I went all crazy on and it actually feels nice to just "restore" one and not modify all crazy, feels, good in a way.

since you are keeping the interior something that will go nice with it will be a nardi wooded steering wheel,you should get one,also get a vertex shift boot.and convert it power window!!

If you are going to restor her I would put on some SE wheels then, and a Nice Nardi or Momo Steering wheel.

good call on the wood steering wheel, it would go with the brown interior! I'm going to keep my eyes open for one.
