new to Nico, starting a new build

[s0mekidJ0SH]

Hi all, just started a new project wanna show everyone my progress as i get this thing together.

bought a donor SE model,

<br>
Then i decided it was in way to rough of shape to wanna do anything with, so i eventually picked this up from the Original owner.

Bone stock other than ugly rims. 170,xxx miles 5 speed. got it for 1,300



How she sits now.....


this is going in... Vlsd,5lug,new subframe bushings.

and the new tank is in..

thats it so far.. ill be updating pretty daily. super excited about this car!
let me know what you guys think!

I cant believe u only got it for 1,300! Good luck with the build looks like a good start. What are your plans for the car? as mods and what its going to be used for?

[Speckid4]

I would love a 1,300 dollar S14, lol. Loving the sub-frame bushings.

[s0mekidJ0SH]

mudvayne9790- Yeah i got lucky on the sale. the car actually wasnt for sale, I drove by it for a year and finally knocked on the door and asked to buy it lol, started out at 2,000 but i got him down! as for the car cleaning it up for now, revamping the suspension/brakes, and take it sliding!

Speckid4- yeah the bushing ride soooo nice, when i got the SE it clunked soo bad!
Im thinking of a v8 swap myself....

[mixeds14]

thats an awsome find on that s14.... looks like a good start... what the plans for it?

[s0mekidJ0SH]

mixeds14- just clean up the car up for now, then a vq45 next summer after suspension and braking is all taken care of.

[Speckid4]

If you do go the V8 way, save, save, save, for the LS series swap. You will be so glad you did. I'll give you three reasons right off the bat. 1.)Atleast 300hp out of the box
2.)20mpg+
3.)And no hole in the hood for an air filter.

Did I mention go for the LS series swap? There are plenty of different kits for an LS motor in an S-chassis, but if your a DIY guy its not that difficult to make mounts yourself. Just my $.02

Clean. What all was wrong with the other s14? From the first pic it doesn't look too bad

[s0mekidJ0SH]

Speckid4- funny haha i was already thinking that, im starting to save now so by summer ill be pulling it all apart. theres a kit for like 1,400 with no cutting x member so you can still do drift events.

Hoffman5982- to many dents everywhere!, roof both fenders, rad support was bent to hell. interior wasnt really great, the dash was wrapped in pleather and had some stupid screen in it. just needed a good starting point, since this is my first s14's

rained all day today, will be working on this thing early tomorrow.
