ok so ive got a lot going on right now, first about a month ago i broke my original set of triple projector headlights , i know, i was adjusting the low beam and the projector housing made contact with the outer glass housing, and that = BAD!!!so i ordered some Circuit Sports polycarbonate lenses, much like the supermade ones except WAY cheaper, on my way to install them at a friends shop( 60 miles away) the projector housing came loose and pointed down melting the housing, which =REALLY BADi ordered new assemblies got them in and i guess i got spring fever a little bit early, i knew that the wiring in the car needed to be re-done, particularly under the dash and doors where the previous owner did a REALLY shatty job on the "alarm" system and power windows which i have since removed, so i pulled the dash and got to workFUN!!!!( i really hate wiring)im removing all the twisted togeter connections and all the butt connectors and soldering EVERYTHING, almost the worst part is that this is my DD so i have to have it ready to drive to work at 6 am so every evening when i pack up i have to make it drivable(on a military base) so for the next week ill be driving like thisi got the radio wired right and working, my clock back, the dome light now works, so does my key left in the ignition dinger thingy haha, i disconnected the seat belt tracks because i hate being choked everytime i open my door (so does my wife haha), and i FINALLY have carpet waiting to go in, BTW this will be first time that the car has had carpet and a working radio sence i have had it (nearly 2 years)
this is the car the carpet and CRACK FREE DASH came out of, a bit of rust(core support), but im debating what to do with it, keep it and S15 front track slut(yes i would bo it right, no "conversion" fenders, OEM steel grafted to the stock s13's), or junk it???
now for the good stuff, i have a KA(DE) on a stand at my frieds shop, i just need time to get there and tear it down, but i got my turbo in, a t3t04e ith a few upgraded goodies and the FREE brand new top mount manifold i got from a local kid who traded my stock 89 hood(which he didnt even put on cuz he got a silvia front like a week later)and this is my car now, like i said before i fixed the pignose lip sag that i had going onand this is my little tool area in the garage(all my other tools, nearly 15k in Mac and Matco, mostly Matco, are at my friends shop because i have NO way to keep them in my garage, well thats about it for now , untill i get to tearing apart that motor
