Just picked up an s13 coupe!

[fiznowler]

I just picked this up last night. It is a 1owner car. The guy I bought it off picked all the options and color he wanted and they found it in a lot somewhere in GA and had it shipped here. It isn't perfect but it is in pretty damn good shape. The back bumper needs repainted due to fade and it could use a good claybar and wax. It has no sunroof and no power options, and is a 5 speed. It is about as base model as you can get. It even has the original keyring with stock number and factory radio. I thought the guy was going to cry when I drove it off.
Well here are a few pics!

With my 97







I hate the nasty sunburn this will quickly be fixed.

Is it green or gunmetal? or black I can't quite tell.

I've only ever seen a hatch with the factory green.

And I'm sure he cried himself to sleep that night and had a weird feeling looking at his empty driveway the next morning.

The key tag says juniper green. I think it is the same color as Razi's. It has the same brown interior as all of them did. It is in very good shape except for the drivers seat. I am thinking pretty hard about converting it to black. I have a set of rota grids in bronze and my friend has a set of drop springs and kybs for it I am trying to get him to hook me up with!

Damn I was hoping you'd buy my fastback shell after I get the S14 up and running... oh well that one looks a lot nicer anyway, and complete with drivetrain lol

[fiznowler]

still might be interested in it... I kinda have an addiction to these things. I was going to give you a call the other day but I lost your number. I have all my powdercoating stuff together and have been doing it for a while now. Got anything you are needing done? I have a black wrinkle color that would look pretty sick on some of your motor parts with the blacked out car.

[SX APPEAL]

Hmmm, not at the moment. But I've been thinking about getting my wheels redone at some point. How are you with wheels?

oh 660 563 0367 btw

Doriftos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pick up. I could only Imagine the feeling of selling a car after buying it new 20 years prior.

[Razi]

Woot! Another Juniper Green coupe!
Quick! Convert that doo-doo interior to black interior.
I'm so glad I did.

[breadbox]

Or just make it more stylish, like a Burberry headliner to make the tan interior a bit nicer.

[fiznowler]

Razi is right it is doo-doo not tan.

Doriftos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not likely. If I wanted to tear one up I wouldn't have bought this one. It is way to clean and the guy I bought it from was way too cool to thrash his car. Out of respect to him i will mod it very clean and very subtle. He didn't really want to get rid of it and has had several people try to buy it. He is an older retired guy that was to the point he had trouble driving a 5 speed. I hung out with the guy for probably an hour just talking cars and showing him my 240. Then he was like if YOU want it I will sell it to YOU. He really reminded me of Eastwood on Gran Tourino.

Def keep the green on the outside. It looks so good, and they're hard to find. Nice find; send the guy a postcard or something, lol.

[fiznowler]

It will for sure stay the same color. I am going to daily it this winter then mod the crap out of my s14 very strongly thinking of vg30 swapping it.

[speedeast]

It's a difficult swap I hear; take your time and do it right.

[fiznowler]

If I swap it I will do it right. The coupe will remain mostly stock for a while.
