Nice project. What are you running under the hood? Any chance we can get a picture of the interior. If you guys are thinking about switching out those back tail-lights you should get these

Those are really nice and look really good on a 240 vert. Just a thought. They run from $109-$119. They take about 2-3 weeks shipping but you do eventually get them. I have some and i really like them just got to install them on my vert first.

Any chance of resized and better 3/4 shots? Never thought the s15 conver. looked good on coupes, but the verts seem to be very promising. :D

any chance you could post pics of yourself? I just want to know if you really are my dream girl j/k Jenna, but on the real, that thing is SICK. Glad to see another vert going under heavy reconstructive surgery!

Yet another very, very nice project! Keep up the good work! You all are motivating me to get off my butt and work just a little harder on my project!

wow thanks for all the kind words guys. sorry i hardly check this site out since im busy with school/work and the car most of my time.

dk102-my bf and i are putting together a 98 ka with a greddy tubo kit. he worked at a local shop so we got it kinda cheap. the cars in a bunch of pieces now and the interior is pretty gutted until we can finish the cage/reinforcement part. i only have the drivers seat for now but i plan on buying a matching passenger and redoing all the panels and rear with matching bride fabric.

timless- hahaha. i think im far from a dreamgirl + my bf might not be too happy with me posting pix of myself for random guys. lol you have a very nice vert btw. i really like the r32 front. i thought your sig was an actual skyline or somthing haha.

we've been working on the vert a bit recently since my parents are out of town. we got the engine bay painted and the motor/5speed part done yay. i put in the 2 way and all the suspension stuff. but now im thinking of taking the links back out and spraying them to match the engine bay. i also converted the car back to 4-lug (yes back to 4-lug)and got some new rims and brakes. ill post more pix later when i get them developed.

hahaha, well i hope you know I was only kidding about the pics thing, but your car is VERY nice, and I can't wait to see finished pics of it. What are you planning for paint and what not to finish it up?

Thanks for the compliments as well, hopefully it will be much hard to tell its an S-chassis by the time I am done with it! lol

and not to hi-jack the thread, but just to respond to jspec...As far as the rest of the plans, I am still contemplating it's fate. Although I am leaning heavily towards a much more clean look. Final Konnexion kit would be the choice for this. The 50mm rear fenders are in the garage awaiting a decision on wheels as well... and then of course the rear conversion to Skyline tail lights....

So all in all, there is a lot more on the "to-do" list and even more money to be spent (I guess it just comes with the territory huh strawberry? )
