thanks guys. its not my house its my friends eddie the master fabricator.

and if you think the drive way is crazy you should see his dads shop haha. they own like 20ish cars for projects......the minivan is one of the finished ones.

but well the bmw is his own drift car he hit a brick wall in moroso in fl, you might even know him.

and the 40s rat rod truck has jag rear end, only needs GTR axles, hubs to be finished really to run, its still gonna be RHD with the steering column coming out of the glove box and its gonna get a chopped top. the project is actually eddies brother but hes busy in school in austin atm.

anyways today we gonna go pick up the stuff hopefullly rain doesnt slow us down.

ANDY BTW, we arent going bozo, but thanks haha!

ok guys got the headlights to work, luckily the s14 lowbeam harness works with sealed beam plugs.........thought i had to get some H4 conversion bulbs but i might do it later......for better lighting.

i might still use the celica supra (mk 2) fog lamps and get them to be my fogs....but we will see.

did not get fenders but will prob do that later.

so far hood and headlights......no bumper support, no bumper and i dont like our fenders atm... gonna redo them to fit.

sounds like my girldirends brother, he runs a dodge omni at 350+ hp at like 30lbs of boost. Its quite rediculous when the front end jumps 4 feet to the right everytime he shifts gears

well went to a car meet today no bumper, bumper support or fenders. some guy sells body kits. so if he has a good aggressive s13 (180sx) look alike. i will go for that.

basically to do everything used the same s14 headlight brackets, which are really unneeded....but makes the car look better( i guess) lol.

we removed the s13 headlight brackets, since its worthless on a s14.

we ended up drilling the bottom of the housing to add good long fine coarse screws so the headlights are good,

on top we added basically extra bracing by using part of my s14 fenders as sheet metal and drilled more holes and used more fine coarse screws, and on the driver side used a rivet haha.

went to the rice killer meet since my friends wanted to see my ride.most of my friends didnt know what i was doing this weekend, and thought i drifted and ****ed up my car.... they were like ?!?!?!?!i told them whats up and they were still confused.

started raining and i was out of gas so i went to shell to put another $20 of premium, then went home.

the lighting still sucks......reminds me of my old s13, so i am gonna use yellow stained glass paint again on these to help on weather conditions and def add those (mk 2) celica supra fogs for lighting.

btw showing my rear end as well which is just a straight pipe which cost only $6 from o'reileys just for the clamps, basically cut up my fart pipe and extended the piping, the spool sounds good and deep.

heres update pics.

So in Texas they dont mind driving bumperless, hoodless, or fenderless. I'm looking at all the pics and think wow if that was me in Philly I'd be getting ticketed.

not enough for it to be too common. i've seen that pic of the yellowish s14.3 before, as well as the pic of the s15.3, but that's all that i've seen so far.
