i bought it from some dude for 100$ (totalled 180sx) wich is ridiculous since I have now the bigger HICAS rear sway bar

one of the holes in the rear rail is done as well as the passenger side front frame rail hole... picture soon as well as the driver side rocker soon my major p roblem for now is to get the sleeves out of the rear suspension control arms to accomodate my energy suspension bushings...stay tuned!

I give you alot of props, that is not only aftermarket work, but the restoration of a s-chassie most people would have scraped, and restoring it properly so it'll live a long life, big props.

All I have to say is WOW . You must have a lot of patience to take on a project like this and to say the least stick with it.

[FalkenDrift]

how do you go on....but good freakin work my friend good to see this project continueing ill be watching..........again

[240life]

Holy hell! I read this thread a couple months ago, and my imagination did your situation no justice! I just opened this thread up with a cpu that wasn't restricted by my work and saw how much effort you put into restoring this car. All i can say is WOW!!!!!!!! You got some serious ballz for taking on a project like that. Good luck

[m tr4nch]

a m a z i n g

looking forward to more repair work

[ca20det]

small update bodywork almost done I shoot the undercarriage in a week!

[motoman399]

looks really good!!!

[burntricer]

if that thing ever sees winter again. i will personally drive over to quebec, and shoot you

lol

are you shooting everything in POR15 before you paint it/undercoat it?

[sebazztard]

wow, ive been through 5 cars since the beginning of this project! i remember the thread on zilvia and people giving you a really hard time about it, was just about the time i found nico (and stayed...and didnt leave haha). man you've done a great job, and honestly i would have giving up (and have) at the first sight of a rust hole in the frame rail. this will pay off so much in the end. i almost wish i hadnt given up on my hatch when i see the recent pics. +100 from me. cant wait to see the final result.

[ca20det]

no there is less than 50% humididy in the garage so I bring it to bare metal and shoot it with vynil wash primer then undercoating it will not see winter again anyways and I'll apply antirust treatement

[ca20det]

small update the undercarriage is done and the engine compartment is coming along!

[ca20det]

I live in an apartment, Im not allowed to work on my car here. I work for the Nazi of automotive shops known as Tires Plus. All my tools are there, when I need to work on my car I pack what I need in a small toolbox and bring it to my dads, where I take over his garage. My wife is in grad school so we barely make enough money to keep my car running, much less take on a project as epic as yours. I have the skills the knowledge, and the tools, now is just not the time, it will happen some day.

For now I will just have to live vicariously through guys like you.

Keep up the good work.

[maik21]

this is an awesome huge work =) good job.

[m tr4nch]

wow man that looks ridiculously good hopefully mine will come out like that when i get to it.

keep it up

oh yeah and your rotisserie inspired me to make my own since i'm sick of laying on my back doing everything. thanks! haha

[ca20det]

you h ave to notice that I am still in university....so half the amount of money spent is in debt !
