My (re)build in pics - S13 Coupe

[biggie]

I'm bored at work currently. Thought I'd share some history and recent build I have went through (still working on it).

Any questions, comments are of course welcome.

From before I bought it (I bought it in July '04), current member JeromeS13 owned it and some may remember it from a reader's ride in sportcompact mag, '02 or '03 I believe:

After a few changes (usually involve accidents, things falling on hood, going over curbs, etc):

January this year started the 'rebuild':

Its on both sides from my poor fender pulling skills. My plan is to do 30mm rear and 20mm front widebody when I have the money, along with a kit of some kind (or at least a different front bumper). And the whole car needs paint.

Currently alignment set for tomorrow and then need to install the Profec B and get to dyno. Currently only running 7psi WG spring and seeing 5psi at the intake manifold. Hope to push that to 9psi at mani.

Also starting my Vert 5spd swap next month, so need to fit everything in.

Yes, have to real careful when rolling/pulling. The dents formed just when I was rolling and I didn't even notice until I stood up away from the car. They got worse when I pulled a little though.

Thats crazy, are you sticking with white paint?

Yes, when painted I'll do all white or possible 2-tone the bottom to match the wheels. Painting the hood as well.

[safin]

like a bronze bottom 2tone part? but without the black trim in between right? its got to be dropped mad, not like in that magazine rolling shot.

i can see it will be the sex

Bumper wasn't my choice, has just been on there. As mentioned above I will be doing a full kit or at least changing the bumper as soon as money is available. Thanks.
