Be intesreting to see the finished product.

I like seeing some real fab work going on . My younger brother has done some stuff like this by combining a 1996 Impala SS and a late 60's Impala SS. Similar concept, drastically different results.

damn, now that is some quality very professional work. you are doing everything the right way! i hate drilling out spot welds and taking off welded sheet metal of unibodies. i can pull dents and sand filler all day long but i just hate looking at spot welds. cant wait to see some more pics. there is no doubt in my mind this will be show quality when finished. why white though? what wheels do you have planned for it? keep up the awesome work man. ps- wish i had a shop like yours! luuuucky

yeah it would have been easier to just drill the spotwelds out of the firewall, but the original clip got hit and tweaked the frount rail and was rusted(preveuos owner) so i killed 2 bird with one stone.fixed the frount clip and made it RHD .i got the car for dirt cheap so i didnt mind spending money on the rhd clip thank you

damn with all the work your doing to it, your making the structure better then it was when it came straight off the assembily line. you just added another 15 years to your chassis life.

even though i have a 95 zenki converted to kouki, i always worry about how my chassis is holding up against rust and rattles.

you definitly have the most thuroughly restored S14 on the side.

the chassis is defently rust free and with spot welded strut towers and stitch welded everything else chassis stifness is not going to be a concern antmore. i lost 2 240s to rust and i am not going to lose this one i just cant wait to drive it! thank you again. pics are coming very soon be patient with me please

awesome project.

after building that, you'll be able to build anything. especially if you're doing all the welding.

Honestly I really hope this is ment to be a show car.. Awesome work .But to do what he just did with out putting in a cage I feel is a bad idea.. Alot of welding and if u arent master at welding there gonna rust somewhere and rust is gonna weaken the structure ..A for effort thou

hahahah 217zenki we welded it perfectly dont worry ! we put weld threw primer on all bare metal we were welding and after we welded it we seam sealed , primmer and painted it. so dont worry about it rusting this car is show quilty but by no means a SHOW car , i plan on beeting the sh#t out of it make it worth all the money i spent, and maybe be in one or two shows. thank you
