My S13 Salvage / Rebuild

[CrypticScorpio]

My 240SX Pignose!

hey, i picked up my s13 back in November '06 for a nifty 400 bucksthe car was badly torn up on the inside, the outside has a bit of rust but the underside was bad... the frame rust cracked and rusted out, some week floor spots and a ****ed rocker panel(my bad....).in april i had the frame fixed for $1200, in june i had the floor fixed and new brake and gas lines installed for $600

right now im starting from the bottom up slowly.

On the go right now, -Parking cable(stock) -Front ball joints(stock) -front Torque rods(stock)-L R control arm(stock) and new front and rear sway bar links(stock)

is there any reccomendations on parts the will help my handeling and steering (diffrent brands, builds. like i heard i should swith my tourqe rods to s14 rods cause there stronger and shorter.) i just need some real feedback and not genaric sales pitches

I have some stock ebrake cables that will work for you, and for beter than OEM, but not race parts, gor for MOOG parts, you won't regret it. other than that try http://www.SPLparts.com they are great and sell pretty good parts.

DON'T KNOW HOW BAD YOUR PIG NOSE IS BUT, I GOT SOME BACK SEATS THAT I DON'T NEED IN GOOD CON. AND MAYBE SOME MOE INT. PARTS THAT YOU COULD HAVE..........LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU COULD USE AND WE COULD WORK SOMETHING OUT.

Well the inside is a write off.... all leather seats that are beyond repair. the dash is Fugly and its auto....

im getting leather bucket seats for her and im pulling the rear seats. may replace if i find a good deal. im looking for a black dash and consol for a manual transmission, unscathed.... i dont want a scratched dash in a newly touched up car.i do need some window power motors and new seat belt adjusters (im getting four point belts for when i need them but there illegal here to use normally.)

DON'T ***** TO MUCH TO MUCH. IT TOOK ME 8 MONTHS TO FIND 91 COUPE. AND WHEN I DID IT COST ME ALMOST 5G's AND IT WAS A AUTO,BUT THE BODY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. KA RUNS STRONG, INT SMELLED A LITTLE FUNNY,BUT NOTHING A CAR SAMPOO DIDN'T FIX

Kudos for reviving a S-13 and saving it from the crusher. Do a nice job on her and be proud man.

thanks man, im already 3K in her but i know it will be worth it.... few people i know who had 240s nod with respect(they have all either crashed or blew thier motors so they met the crusher ) when i empty my bank check after check into this car. i pray it will last more then a year... but then again i was able to write off a 2 month old bonaville into a parked car.... dont ask.... so maybe over 140HP is to much............. nawwwwwwwwwwwww
