Well it's not really a build, but it's a swap. I recently had my car totalled from some jerk in a hit and run. I just picked up this shell last night http://www.northwestnissans.co...84069. Right now i'm working on getting the rest of the sound deadening material out. As soon as I get it all out then I can start to prep the inside and engine bay for paint. I am planning on all white. Afther that's all done then the fun starts, swap the motor and interior, well at least the interior i'm putting in. Wont be using the carpet, headliner, back seats of course, and I don't think most of the plastics will go in either, so front seats and dash pretty much. I'll have some pictures up in a few days. Here's a couple of my totalled baby.

That's terrible. Did the damage get to your passenger-side frame rail? The rolling chassis looks nice, are you going to use that as a DD with cage and all? Also, it looked like the cage ran through the firewall. Some events wont allow that IIRC. Good luck with everything man.

Didn't hit the frame rail so i'm going to keep my old one and 'eventually' fix her. Yah, DD with cage, it's not SCCA approved either but I think I can add a couple bars and it will be. But on the for sale thread people were saying it was the wrong size tubing.
