hello nico i picked up my first s13 about 5 months ago and now im bored now so i figured id do i build thread of what iv done so far ... picked up a running s13 for $1100 not in the best shape but its what i wanted. so i could have a bit off all worlds. (body work, suspension, and engine work)

when i first got the car it had a gutted drivers side door, blown rear shock , crushed in rear fender and a blown exhaust . but that's not the best part, after all the papers where singed he informs me that he "lost the keys " . so i got a car with a striped ignition and no keys ....... GREAT but all the papers where in his name so i figured it was ok .

so i started looking on local forums and craigslist for a s13 being parted out. after about a week a found a drivers door for $40 but it had no options (ie. no power anything ) .then after 2 weeks i find another s13 being parted. from that car i got : locks and ignition and two keys, power door . after i put on all those parts on. i bought new rear shocks and megan lowering springs.

and NOW for the pics this is what i have done so far

when i first got her home

springs and shocks the last pic is how i would like her to look when im done and after she got low(er) thanks nico comments pls always looking for a helping hand

What pisses me off is your spelling capibilities.

Spelled first wrong in your name and TWICE in the thread title.

Other than that Goodluck and Welcome
