Justin35ll's timeline (picture intensive)

[Justin35ll]

Picked up this running 90 hatch for 250$ back somewhere very early november 08. Had issues with the title for 4 months and finally got it on the road yesterday. So figured I'de show a timeline from when I got it to where it's at now.

Day I got it

picked up a megan exuast, hated it sold it, but you can see how nasty the body was

Started sanding and stripped the interior of the deadening

Started painting

Pulled the KA and resprayed the bay

Cleaned up the SR I newly bought and added some goodies

Bought some stuff and it was ready to go in

All done and registered finally

wow very nice find on that 1.

[Pdawg]

No colorful paint?

[Justin35ll]

Not yet just primer for now haha

[s13importuner7]

wow very nice. paint looks nice. but couldnt you have picked a little more creative color? looks good though. what a difference. got any pics of the stripped interior? is it nice and painted? i love clean painted gutted interiors

[s13importuner7]

Not yet just primer for now haha

SORRY just read this. what color you gonna paint it?

[ThuG LyFe]

is that primer?

very nice how it turned out just needs some shiny paint and it'll be perfect. but you are very handy

[MastaYu]

looks good

[Justin35ll]

Yeah I love clean painted gutted interiors too and that's what I was originally gonna do, but then I picked up a s14 passanger seat and I had a lot of interior parts left over from my previous hatch so I threw most of it in. I'll probably gut it again during summer though.

And yeah it's just regular rustoleum primer. I actually used it so I could see any imperfections in the body, but then I started caring less halfway through and wanted to paint it another color, but I figured if I painted one side with the primer and the other without the primer the shades may come out differently so I just kept going with the gray. Don't know what I'm doing for paint yet. Need to save money for suspension and other stuff first

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Paint that bish!!! Even if it's just rattle can for now.

[gregfarz78]

Looks good so far

Is that at least an epoxy primer? Not a good idea to roll around with rattle can primer for too long

[Justin35ll]

It's just rustoleum automotive primer. Not sure if it's epoxy based.

i see my cat getting some use :]

[mRodiek]

WHAT...a transformation! Good job, what colors are you considering?

[Justin35ll]

Well I might just end up doing it flat black for the time being just so it looks a little better then gray primer.But I was considering doing a macco quick spray of gloss black. My friend got it done on his mustang and it actually came out pretty nice.Or maybe just pick up an air compressor and paint gun and spraying it?

Oh and yeah your cat is getting some use lol. Smells like rotten eggs sometimes though haha, thanks buddy

[livinglegend2100]

that thing looks great already. SO much better than when it started. keep up the work man

[mRodiek]

Do it yourself! Youve already done it all thus far..duplicolor sells a "paint shop" thats $25 can and requires no mixing or anything, pour & spray

[nevertheless]

Clean Sr..any suspension goodies?

[Justin35ll]

Yeah, I'll have to look into it more.heres some morestickers? Plate is in window cause I can't get the bolts off for where I bolt it upAnd one of my s15 r/c drift car lol mine is the white one

BTW, whats up with your s15 turbo?

[DJButton]

Nice work!

[mRodiek]

BTW, whats up with your s15 turbo?

Asking me? lol

[Justin35ll]

haha yeah

and nothin good for suspension that will be coming next though. Just have some lowering springs on my stock blown struts. Basically handles like s***

[nightsauce]

hey jus lets trade front ends. =D

[mRodiek]

Well I got into another argument with FRSport because I wouldnt take "we cant do anything" for an answer so they discussed it with Nissan and decided it was a "user error" because your supposed to use bolts on the oil drain tube. Since I used studs and the seating of those studs is what caused the break, I am responsible so Im getting it welded back on when Im home from LA for spring break.

Dont get lowering springs if you have blow struts, just replace the struts lol deal with 4x4 status til coils!

[nightsauce]

i just realized that you got another hood lol

sounds like me. 4x4 with 5lug/z32 brake swap :|

i fixed it with photoshop tho

[mRodiek]

lol better to do it right than have wasted money on springs and blown struts

[Justin35ll]

Yeah, sorry to here hopefully they can fix it up for you.

And lol no danny that's not a new hood. I just stepped on it and it bent back. And I have no hood hinges on it either it's latched in the front and bunjeed in the rear new hinges should be here tomorrow though

And all the struts were already blown so whatever. Coils will come

IMO I would cut out that vertical peice in the bumper. To show off that knock off intercooler.
