Awesome shop build pics....I'd have to agree with one of those comments above, and say I'd ditch that sheel and find a rust free one.....save you a ton of headaches in the future.. Rust never leaves once it there, no matter what you cut out and replace....car will just fall apart somewhere else.

That's really not true, ask any hotrodder, you just need to be vigilent and use all the right chemicals. No half-asseded-ness. Although It's always better to start a project with less, rust.

I'm almost more interested in the building of the garage then the car

[E7-S14]

Nice car..good luck with the build.cant wait to see it when its done.. and ca's r good motors for all u hardcore sr fans out there

[Chief_Suicide]

yes it is...

Where did you purchase the frame rails? If you don't mind saying!?

[Logan76]

Im loving your project so far, the CA's a nice little motor, goodluck with it all.

[TRBOMOFO]

sweet build up you got going on there

and good choice on the engine !!

[ShinHed]

How much was the frame rail?

[ca20det]

the rail was 68 CAN $ but its hard to find them theyre all out of production the reason why I only got the left one is that the right one wasnt available anymore

[Bwana]

Heck of a project there man! Both shop and car. Props for building your own shop!

[redhb240SXS13]

looks good, have fun with the rust. btw are you going to sell the ca t25 turbo?cuz if you are i got dibs

[ca20det]

I might... when would you need it?? how much would you offer... it has 98000 km

[redhb240SXS13]

does it have any shaft play?just whenever you would sell it, im just piecing together a turbo kit for my ka. if it doesnt have shaft play or anything wrong with it i would offer $100-$150. just lmk

[ca20det]

ok... I might not get rid of it before the end of summer though...

[redhb240SXS13]

thats fine, thats when i was hoping to get started on my turbo ka, so its no big hurry. just email when you wanna sell it

[mrzabala]

Awesome job on building your garage(shop). Hopefully you will continue to expand your garage in terms of vents, boots, lifts, parts storage, etc. As for the project, keep up the good work and hopefully you can bring life back to it. Good luck.

[ca20det]

no I won't... its at my parent's place so its just until I finish university I'll build a better bigger and more equiped shop when I'll buy or build my house later...

for the turbo give me your e-mail adress!!!

tiny update!

[KA24Power]

where?!

[ca20det]

in the first post!

[ca20det]

a tiny update (another one in the main post a.k.a the first post)its a lot of work but the rust is pretty localised in a specific area its not the entire panel thats rusted out so



not a lot of repairs done yet more dismantling cutting and btw there is a buttload of spotwelds on a 240 this is what the hinges looked like before



and now, just need a little sandblasting primer reweld over, prime and paint

a little upgrade, mine were rusted with the bushing more then done and I had to cut one of the bolts so it was worth it SPC 1.5 degre caster rods

most usefull tools

finally won the battle against the subframe... pretty rusted i'm looking for a JDM one so let me know!



got the gas tank out, yesss still good!!! filled the beaterwith the rest of the gasoline (sentra)

nismo power brace imitation in progress



took out the bumper reinforcement wich was more then dead

the guy that goes trought my garbage for srap metal to sell sure wrote down my adress

some brilliant dude changed the fuel lines and let the old ones rot there:(



power steering and alternator strap pretty worn

I vainquished the clutch master cylinder! long life to cheap propane torch from home hardware store

and then I got the interior finished up with my friend (thats his integra by the way) it took me 5 months to complete the build by myself

not trying to be a d!ck or anything but what integra are u talking about? i looked in every picture u had up there and never saw any integra. just figured id ask cause i was just a little lost on where it is.

[ca20det]

I dont have the picture of the integra anymore I aint friends whit the guy anymore anyway took advantage of me and never called me back so that's why its not there anymore

[keith0486]

ahh ok that explains that. i was getting a little confused on where the car was.

[eds13]

lol me too! good progress anyways. i have a shell i need to do this too...

[ca20det]

little clean up of the firewall

before



after



opposed to some beliefs, it was purple

shell supports



buggy to move the car to my "sandblast boot" (before I can weld it to the shell supports I need to repair the front so it won't pry)

[m tr4nch]

daaaamn this is one crazy project. and i thought my car's rust was bad! i admire your dedication and not giving up, because if it was me i would have got a cleaner car to work with. but good job and continue with the pics

also, dremel/die grinder/sandblaster are your best friends

[booboo]

looking good... more pics

[ca20det]

I almost got lost all my courage but I just finished to dismantle it and the rust is pretty focused on some areas easy to replace like rockers for instance and the subframe ... so if I can't find a JDM one I'll sandblast it replace the broken upper control arm reinforce it then paint it ....you might not know but I do not have any training in either collision repair or automobile mechanix

[ca20det]

I got the subframe into pieces look at all the crap came off it





I'll look up the JDM imports for a new one because it would be a lot of work rebuilding it



a bolt was missing gotta be crazy running with a bolt missing...



the reason why I have "negative camber on that picture

[Didderson]

Holy crap man that subframe is in bad shape. +100000000 props for doing the extensive work. Not even acid would help that subframe lol...

[RWP]

Wow thats rough with that rust props for doing it! i lived in Quebec for a year and a half and the amount of salt they use on the roads in winter is sickening well at least just outside of Quebec city. Thank god i moved to BC and found a 240 that was stored in mini storage since new (its a 92) every winter the first owner (im #2) went to vegas every winter all winter. so the car was virtually rust free minus the **** foam spoiler.
