Hey NicoNauts...

So I decided to buy a pretty much falling apart S13 at the beginning of January, and until several weeks ago it has been waiting in line at a body shop to have a framerail replaced .

However, I did get it back just recently and have been on my grind ever since, trying to produce a slick and unique piece of engineering (Ok, Nissan's engineering...) that can remain somewhat luxurious but perform better than most!

Basically since then I have redone every panel piece by piece, dent pulling, bondo'ing, grinding, sanding, reconstructing, it has been a long process but in the end it should be worth it! Atleast 30 hours have gone into restoring the body, and removing the rust which by yourself is a long time and requires some serious mind numbing skillx0rs.

Anyway, screw my blab about how much time and *ish Ive put into my car - PICTURE TIME!

How I bought her:



After preparation, before paint!



After 1st coat of paint, waiting over night right now for it to dry!
