Well Nico People.... krazyskwerel is a crazy man. All I can say is he must love me. Heart transplant from his S13 Coupe to my 85 S12 has started.

I miss my 12. It was a rattletrap with blown k-member bushings, but it was fun. Keep us posted on this project!

The big question is... what's going on with Skwerel's coupe? Big plans?

S13 needs a full media blast and rebuild. Then who knows. I was gonna buy a shell but I have had this car so long I hate to give up. More than likely it will get a 5.3 vortec with a cam and a t56. Then maybe boost...

Only because it is. It's not a coincidence that an S13 CA fits perfectly including harness right into an S12...

Now I made myself sad...

Plumbing is done. Wiring almost. Looking at possibly next week to be up and running on the road. First time in more than a decade.

Well she runs under her own power. Not making boost and the dash is not working. Going to add a temp and oil pressure gauge. Think the boost problem could be a coupler issue or the old Saab intercooler we used. But she runs and is tagged.

lol I don't think i'll be drifting anywhere in that. Plan on doing some auto-x in it though. We are thinking of just taking the instruments out and putting our own gauges in it anyway. Still isn't running right. We cleaned some of the sensors but ultimately found out it's our #1 injector. So Boost Boy hooked us up and shipped us one right away. Just need to pull the fuel rail and throw that sucker in. hopefully that will be the winning ticket to our issues. I'm sure more will come up I just want to take it to the dragon rather than my G.

I concour. I'll be driving it daily for a week or so to make sure everything is okay so we can take her up to the dragon. Only sucky part is the float for the fuel gauge broke off. But who doesn't like to live life on the edge?!
