Hello Folks, I am back (kinda)

Vehicle History

1. 1992 Jeep cherokee Lent it to a buddy who got in a 12 car pile up
2. 1992 VW golf GTI 16V
This was built up with a turbo motor, I had it pushing 40 LBs of boost just shy of 550 BHP. Turbo was fun But due to traction issues this motor has been swapped out in favour of a Naturally aspirated High compression 16V (13.5:1) Its currently running on MSII, I plan on going to bike carbs and a MSD Migit ignition system. I also plan finishing my bay shave. Outside looks nasty as f*** but who cares?
3. s13 coupe. I owned this car for three days
4. 1989 Dodge ram 350 dually/flatdeck sold it to a buddy who is using it to haul scrap

Now, After my short s13 stint, I havent been able to get S chasis out of my mind. There there everyday Its all I want. So A short browse of kijiji has found me this rust pile:

I am going to look at it tomorrow, Whil it is rusty, dented and faded, I think It has the ability to become excactly what I want.

Plan:

Interrior:

Sparco EVO 3 seats
NRG deep dish wheel
NRG thin hub
NRG thin QR
Stripped out carpet
5 point harnesses
some sort of roll cage

Engine bay:
The motor is a KA-24DE
I'm not sure if I should turbo my KA or swap in an RB25, or SR20. More reading will have to be done. Truthfully with the amount of turbo parts I have kitting arround a KA-24DET will probably be the most likely option!
s*** will get cleaned up and well organized/Mildly shaved (VAG head in me talking)

Exterior:
50mm over fenders, I will be cutting out the rust and welding in something to keep the cancer from spreading. Im not sure if these will be held on with panel bond or rivets.
Fix the dents in the front clip
Paint it in Flat Olive drab, or satin black (NOT SPRAY BOMBED)
Nose art from a WWII b0mber (art work im thinking of is called ace in the hole)
Austrian Coat of arms on the hood

suspention and wheels
I need some type of coil over, But ala I don't think they Make H&R untra ultra lows for this chasis Could somebody make a recommendation?
17x8 Konig runaways, wrapped in 225/45R17 Dunlop direzza sport Z1's (NOTE if i get really adventurous I would try a set of gotti's)
Image


Misc s***:
Diff will be welded for sideways fun
All rust will be remedied.
Motor will be rebuilt what ever it ends up getting

This will be my built thread once the car is home

God save me :werd:
