Nothing Left (build thread?)

[sviellvoicae]

So I finally got into my first house and have enough room to work on the car. I have been wanted to tear it down 100% and start over so now I can. Here is the progress of the car so far. When I first got it I ran a 17.1@81mph at fernly, and at the last fernly race I ran 3 consecutive 13.2's with a max speed of 113mph.I went from the stock sr gt25 with a bs tune to an s15 gt28 with an enthalpy tune (sorry in advance for some cell pics)

When I purchased the vehicle from Nya. Everything looked good and I was confident in the purchase.

Looked good from the outside but when I looked into things it was a different story.After 3 electrical fires and the car randomly turning off on me I decided to do a wire tuck do to the horrible wiring in this thing and this is what i found.

after about an hourAfter this the car ran great for about a month and the trans went out. I had IVM do the swap cause it was winter time at this point and I didnt have a gayrage at the time. Its been 3 years since the trans swap and it still works great. I only have before and after pics of things I did.Interior beforeafter

New Build.....I started yesterday by pulling off my old gt28 and selling that to order my turbo that is on the way. Basically tearing the car down completely.after the dash was removed, with no supprise I found more great wiring.t-taps ftmfw! :evil: looks like they tried to rig up some sleepy eyes. :roll:

I started grinding away seams to begin spot welds.Found a tiny bit o rust

got the seats and alot more interior out (seats are factory 94' vert seats if anyone on here has an interest in them for some strange reason :? )Carpet out. I already removed the factory sound deading material but have a little more to get out on transmission hump. Im gonna have it sprayed but need info on how to remove the gunk that stayed.... any info would be great as to how to prep for paint. With no suprise I found more great wiring........... :evil: o2 sensor when I removed the harnessand ecu!!! Boys and girls, it is never ok to use t-taps....

sucks about the wiring, and fires are never fun.

but glad you're getting it sorted out, i love in the first interior shot you've got the pic covering up the speedo, who needs to see that?

eurolines are win, and the hood looks sick.

and they are for sale... best offer. The hood was a spur of the moment drunk thing but i guess someone did it along time ago so i was a tool for doing it???? hasnt everything been done already??

[brandonDavid]

just about everything, i've got an idea for my hood, that i'm not even going to disclose, lets just say the process will be loud, enjoyable, and i'll probably get the cops called. i would love to rock those wheels, but a)i don't have anywhere near the funds, b)they would sit until my car was baller enough for them.

btw +1 drunk impulse decisions.

I honestly dont remember. I found it in a 280z or something at pick n pull and the lady just gave it to me. I think I tossed it
