The "building" of my bucket.

[vertbish]

Right now I am also contemplating on going to a fabric store after I get off work and reupholstering my rear seats in some kind of suede... or something. Im not too worried about them getting matted down or whatever cause I dont like to haul people around in my car.

I just dont like how dirty they look when I have the top down because they are kinda stained...

I also just picked up some sweet A** SILVIA Floor mats for my car, I got all 4 and they almost look brand new for about $20

Too bad they came from a RHD car

[eds13]

verts came in black, white, red, and maroon. there are only about 300 maroon verts in existence over the 92, 93, and 94 year models.

[vertbish]

Its time to get the building part going on...

So as most of you know I wrecked my vert. Its time to actually do something with it now. Everyone is telling me I should make it as sexy as the bf's but I wouldnt want him to have any competiton, and besides, we all know who's car would be sexier! (Mine of course b/c its a vert!)

I dont have that much time to work on it but for 2 days now I have been able to remove the core support, and pull the engine. I figured now would be time to do that 5spd swap I have been wanting to do since I got the damn thing. I was wanting to continue to work on my car tonight but it looks like its going to rain!





I have other plans as far as wheels, kit, engine, and what-not, but im still undecided. Being I see everyone and their cousin with the s13 front end on their 240 around I have decided to go with something different, im sure most of you will not agree with what I want to do, and neither does the bf. I want to do is a S15 front end, but the only way I am doing that is if I go widebody, which means nicely fitted wheels!

Also the pink paint is out of question now, sorry guys! lol.

[DeXteR]

I'm going to suggest that if you go S13.5 vert, fill all the OEM lines.

Good luck and keep us posted.

[TIMELSS_vert]

i"ll tell you a widebody s13.5 would look sick, straight faced and all day long. how ever i do agree with dex, get rid of all body lines. keep us updated, and btw, ur man's car is bad ***

[krash]

STAY ONEVIA!!! like you said, everyone and their mom has an s13 front end these days. and how awesome is it when your driving out of a parking lot at night and you flip up the lights while rolling and listening to the Knight Rider theme? UNBEATABLE!

[vertbish]

I ordered my coilovers, but they are back ordered and they wont get them in for another 3 weeks. I also got my suspension stuff ordered, today. So now Im just waiting for that stuff, and trying to save more $$ for more cool stuff.

[vertbish]

Im SUPER stoked today im having the GREATEST day I could ever have!

My coilovers finally came today!!!! YEY!



AND...

I got these thanks to the bf! <3



So now I get to go 5 lug and widebody!

mmm pretty!!!! Can't wait to see the finished product!

[jspec603]

Lookin good!!! You happen to have widebody yet? I just so happen to have front and rear fenders I'm no longer gonna use on my vert. 20mm fronts and 50mm rears. The fronts are for an S13 swap. Just throwing that out there! Keep posting more pics!

[TIMELSS_vert]

oh LAWDY those wheels are hawt!!!! Have you decided on what face your vert will be showing off? Also, are you gonna be super aggressive status like the snow plow on the coupe? (I<3snowplow)

I havent decided 110% on a front end yet, but I do know I will need 50mm rear. I will email you.

Whatever I decide, I gotta keep it snow plow status... otherwise it wouldnt be right. lol. So far as everythings going, its going to look a little like the bf's. Gotta have his and hers. The more and more I start to pick **** out im starting to realize im going towards the Obnoxious/Gawdy look. but atleast everyone will know who's it is

Tonight I got my block all fresh and clean, no more inch thick oil on it everywhere. 6 cans of engine degreaser/Brake and carb cleaner later... I also started stripping the engine bay that way tomorrow I can paint it flat black.

[DeXteR]

Yay! More projects = more pictures!

[jspec603]

I also started stripping the engine bay that way tomorrow I can paint it flat black

Aw, flat black? I'm partial to Grey. Flat black, in my own opinion, just seems to dull the bay and not allow things to stand out as much. But that's just me.

[vertbish]

I started polishing my mani today... I have to get ready to go to work so I probably wont be able to finish it till tomorrow.



I also forgot to post up my subframe spacers, and yes I painted them PINK!



I also decided that the flat black was too blah... So tim trying to decide what to do with it now, im thinking im just going to throw the black satin over it.

[-RJ-]

i wish i could buy car stuff for my gf... i stil need to get her a coupe lol

[vertbish]

Well last night I got the engine in... FINALLY!!!Its partially wired up (cant wait to put the top down! lol)



I got the Driver headlight, fender and hood put back on. Now my car is going to be 3 different colors So I came up with a temoprary paint scheme until I get it painted! Sorry to leave you hanging but i will post up pics when im done painting it.

Im hoping to take it to state patrol next week and get it inspected. I just hope it passes. I know how ghey/Anal they can be. I cant wait to put all of my new parts on! I dont think im going to be able to work on it today, I have some family over from Idaho.

Im so excited to be able to drive it again!!!!!!

[DeXteR]

I see the intake manifold is on in that last picture... Did you finish polishing it? If so, let's see it!

[240lookis]

the build looks like it's going together well. it's gonna look awesome with the widebody and pink stuff.

[jspec603]

Must....have....up....date....can't...wait...much.....longer.....

[S15nS13vert]

oh man....i need pics of the widebody......what kinda front end??? and i tought i was slow in doing my project....lol

[phreezer]

I'm in Richland, WA... we should race for pinks, or your pink interior.

[vertbish]

Must....have....up....date....can't...wait...much.....longer.....

Neither can I my car is being a F*cking pain in the ***! So I decided to start sanding on that horrible paint job some dumbass did to the drivers side... Im going to have a friend do my body work cause I dont want it to take another year for me to do it... lol. It looked all wavy when you looked down the side of my car and I didnt like that, so im making it all pretty for state patrol when i go get it inspected!

and dex, a long story short, the mani is half assed for now... I wanted it to be perfect, but it had to go back on...

Since I cant find my cool flower shift knob anywhere I had to gt a new one ... LOL...



I started wet sanding the overspray that was on my fender and hood i got from a friend and everything is o.k. my car is going to stay cherry red for now!

[vertbish]

oh man....i need pics of the widebody......what kinda front end??? and i tought i was slow in doing my project....lol

I like taking my sweet *** time i know, you would think that this is my "project" car not my DD.

Good news is im saving money, and not by switching to Geico, lol. Im putting on my suspension as soon as I get home from state patrol and im making the wheels fit until i get my widebody... Hella fender roll thats all i got to say about that one! Im still undecided on the wide body...

[autox615]

[vertbish]

Whoop Whoop!Well all the fluids are in! Im just waiting on the stupid intake piece and the bracket that supports the headlight and thats it! I will get more pics when im completely done! I havent bought anything cool like 5 lug swap for my wheels yet, I just want to drive it! lol.

[TIMELSS_vert]

cant blame ya for wantin it on the road! glad to see there is progress being made!

[vertbish]

So she wanted to fire, but didnt start... and then I realized it was below "E" I have to throw on the speed sensor gig, and I will finally get time tomorrow afternoon since i've been working hella. so im crossing my fingers Im going to be driving it this week!

[vertbish]

Wow! I havent been on here in forever! Nothing new except for I picked up my SR last night.. Im pretty stoked! Its a little rediculous that I havent done too much more with it, but im really dying to paint it as soon as the weather gets better. Im real close to getting my 5 lug conversion, hoping to get it here within the month. I still havent made up my mind on what im going to be doing with it as far as widebody/bodykit wise... I kinda just want to keep it clean and just put a lil lip kit on it, but then there is no way in hell I can put my wheels on without flares or widebody... idk. someone throw some sweet ideas my way, then maybe I will get a lil farther! Ha Ha Ha.

[DeXteR]

My only advice is to just keep at it.

Looking forward to the progress!
