Found a 92 S13 on Craigslist in need of rescue, brought the car home with $600.00

It does need some work but its in good hands now. Motor and trans was working but without any info about its history I pulled the engine and trans to freshen up. I plan to build a KA-T so I want to know its in good shape. I will also go back with a 5 speed swap when it goes back in.

Other plans for the car is stitch welding the body, clean up the wiring harness and engine bay, may tub the front inside fenders, roll cage with wind screen, coilovers, and the list will continue to grow…

Yes I have a good deal of work ahead of me. The car was purchased as a project car so I look forward to getting it up to shape.

So far I have the engine and transmission pulled. The AC wasn't working and I'm debating on just deleting it all together. It's not going to be a DD.

I'm going to start pulling out the interior soon. Pulled the rear seat to see if there was any rust. Thankfully it's clean.

I found a set of door panels to do the pillar mod and I'm going to upgrade the breaks with Z32 breaks.

I also found a roll bar at the pick and pull that I may be able to make work. It's in a Kia sportage.

To change things up some, I'm looking at a 4g63 swap just to be different.

$600? That's a steal, especially since it was running when you got it!
