But its not all bad news, once I finished with the coupe's motor I turned my attention to my hatch and got the rear sub frame dropped, so hopefully on thursday (have to work tomorrow) I can start changing the bushings and putting on the rucas.
Paypal usually takes about 3-4 days and I was planning to go this weekend so that I can make sure to get the best selection. I guess I didn't think about that other fender when I was posting a minute ago. I was actually thinking of putting that fender on(check your mail), but I just haven't made time for it. I could do it this weekend and you could take them both with you. Since your dad owns a body shop, I'd be willing to make you a sweet deal on that other fender, it just needs a little work. I forgot what color your s13 is, not that it matters since you're just gonna paint it anyway; so I guess have 1 blue and 1 red fender won't bother youmaxima278 wrote:When are you going? I want to make sure I get you some money before then. I think there are the 3 or 4 on top of the fender, 2 along the bottom back, and some up around where it meets the headlight and bumper. You can probably look at the right fender you have laying around and see them all. Also, do you want to sell that one to me it wouldn't hurt to change the right one too?
The orignal plan was to yank the motor out of the hatch and stuff it in the coupe(if the motor turned out to be a boat anchor like it did), but I've changed plans;(again ) so the hatch is gonna keep its motor get painted, get the suspention taken care of, and once I get the kouki titled and sold I'll worry about swapping the hatch. I'm just going to find another ka to throw in the coupe to get it running.maxima278 wrote:
well, hey, at least you're a little closer to getting the coupe on the road, aren't you going to put the motor out of the hatch in it? Honestly, I would do that soon if I were you so that everything doesn't get rusty and gunked up. btw, in case you missed the previous posts, your kouki tail lights are safe now. I got my own. I had to beat somebody down for them but they were worth it. Not really but I did have to move quickly.
That sounds like a good plan of action, you should be able to get a helluva motor swap once you sell the kouki. Either that, or get a stockish motor and have some dough left over for lots of goodies Did you forget Turstin, I believe there was something mentioned about catching you with your pants down and your kouki lights coming up missing.Beatupsx wrote:The orignal plan was to yank the motor out of the hatch and stuff it in the coupe(if the motor turned out to be a boat anchor like it did), but I've changed plans;(again ) so the hatch is gonna keep its motor get painted, get the suspention taken care of, and once I get the kouki titled and sold I'll worry about swapping the hatch.

Hurry up and get the tail lights on and post up some pics, and were my kouki's tail lights ever not safe.

The damage is quite minimal(FSUDrifter can vouche) and it wouldn't take much @ all to repair. I'll take some pics tomorrow with my phone and email them to you.
I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the invite, we'll just have to see if I can get away what with a newborn baby and a 2 year old and all. Makes it hard to commit to anything.rps13srsc wrote:James you ought to come out to the shop this weekend Tursten and I are haven a little get together.

Besides, having just the right amount of bling is a nice place to be, right between bone stock grandma car and full on fast and furious gaudiness. I like that your car is relatively stock looking, I don't think I'd add much more to the outside other than a small lip at the front, if they actually make one that would compliment that car, without replacing the stock bumper.
Don't think I'll make it this weekend Guiedo, Saturday is my wife's Birthday. Are yall still getting together sunday? I don't know if that's any better, but I might can give it a shot
sunday is fine and that color is greatmaxima278 wrote:What would yall think if I got my hatch painted this color? Imagine the roof painted black, and of course mine is the pignose with the lip on it. It would be lowered, and have some sort of gunmetal wheels. let me know what you think.
