I think it's cause people post them up before they start. So right now he hasn't done much building but he has a thread that he can update as he goes instead of coming back when it's all done and telling us what happened. That way if he has questions that should arise, we will have a history of what he has done up until that point and he will have a place to ask said question without starting a new thread. If you come back in a couple months (i dont know the guy im just guessing here) then it will be more built. And even more built a couple months after that. It's a work in progress just like anyone else's it's just not very far along yet. Wittle S13 stardin his jurny

(But that's not to say i don't like your thread zee, i do)

Nice car, it looks clean and unmolested. Not a fan of the pignose but the cleanness/black makes it look a little better.

Did you end up cleaning up the engine bay and the KA24E? Any pics? 77K is super low for a piggy.

What's next?

That's a nice sig picture, I wonder who took it lol

Saw the car in person today and it's coming along nicely. Once you get the hatch sorted out, it will be the cleanest around our area.
