so i bought this car a little while ago, and im slowly bringing it back to life.
ive got big plans for this car so we shall see where it goes
when i bought it, the wiring was a nightmare, the battery was barely held in place, and there was all that nasty sound deadening tar everywhere and all kinds of other s*** that made me wanna tear my hair out.

so i promptly got to work, me and some friends spent some afternoons chizeling, scraping, and sanding as one of my other buddies got to work on the wiring and battery (keep in mind this is in the cabin)

so eventually we had a sanded gutted car with slightly better wiring. after taping everything off, i painted the interior (white, to keep the car cool in az, because its hot as hell and there is no ac)



heres the pics as it stands now

1. just chillin
Image
2.my "custom" 3inch exhaust (i will be ditching this soon)
Image
3.sanded primed painted and waxed
Image
4.dat other side
Image
5.coil knob
Image
6.waiting for carpet to cover wires and put some new seats in / belts. the autos were removed so theres no airbags or shoulder strap so i ordered some 4points
Image
7.i need a new center console, how hard / inconvient would it be to have the ebrake on the right side? i want a carbon console but can only find rhd ones. i have the deck that goes in there, and i need a new dash, shift knob, short shifter blah blah blah. i did order a new lower boot and ring so that will be nice.
Image
8.passenger footwell
Image
9.cracked dash. anyone know about those vaccume fitted overlay things on ebay?
Image
10.s*** wheels and 4 lug hub= awful. once its through emissions and whatnot we upgrade to 5lug and cop bbks for front and back with some new wheels and a fender roll. suspension comes along with that so im going to begin peicing all that together, can anyone explain what are ALL THE PARTS to build a s13 hatch suspension? i have coils and some rods already so what else? it all need to be fully adjustable, i just need to knw what all the parts are as my other car doesnt need to much to do it.
Image
11.trunk latch is weird you have to pull it, lift trunk, and then push that handle down to reclose trunk, how do i fix this?
Image
12.im moving those gauges to the pillar, and am replacing the buttons, button trim and column with carbon fiber, then i will do a custom defi gague cluster. because i HATE this speedo, s*** will an s15 one fit?

7 what on earth is that holding your deck in?
23 is the windshield wiper motor, and that plug is the wiring that gives it the power to move the wipers
29 is the brake master cylinder
32 the cat is actually UNDER the car, not located in the engine bay.

and for all the "where can i get xxxxx..." check the classifieds here, check our sponsor sites, google it, or even ebay

yeah not bad looking at all. youre really into the carbon fiber stuff though huh? haha. its all good though, if you get as much as you plan, it should be sick.
29. I beleive its the brake booster.
30. yep. you would have to get a top mount manifold, not sure where to direct you for that though

Clean car, but you should probably learn some things about it before you work on it. Because if your asking questions like what the brake booster and master cylinder was, then you should probably do some research. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just telling you what I think. Best of luck with your build!

7-it kinda just lurks there
23-awsome makes sense
29 realised that myself today
32
was reffering to the downpipe, as there is no place to add a cat under the car as it is a custom exhaust and im not trying to weld the cat in myself. needs to be bolt on.
