Okay...

So, I've searched all over for a coupe... And I have finally found one where the deal hasn't suddenly "went away"...

This is a 1989... With about 4 rust holes and are definitely fixable and one "area" that will be partially fixed then covered up by a side skirt, so no big deal...

Interior is complete and beautiful except the effing crack... -_- Also no big deal...

Also has the "Tuxedo" look which I intend to keep throughout it's restoration..

Have headlights and hood but, no fenders or bumper but, that also does not matter because I am going with the Silvia front end...

But, here's my short list of things to do immediately, and then, a couple of pics...

1) Remove motor and transmission2) Fix rust holes3) Get the "thing" on the side fixed as well... I guess 2 and 3 are a combination...4) Install the rest of the 5 speed parts with the exception of drive shaft and transmission5) Install the interior, all the harnesses and buy a set of s14's off of my friend6) Fix ball joints and replace some bushings7) Begin the search for a motor8) While searching for motor start on the rough body work

The list shall go on...

Anyways... The car came with:

a. The shellb. SOHC and Auto transc. H.U.D. clusterd. 5 Speed transmission and parts

I'm sorry guys but, we won't go into what I paid for it... I like to keep my finances private...

Here's some pics...

Before we got it on the U-Haul Trailer...

I'll be posting lots of pictures once I get some faster internet here...

hbpignose, i'm just making sure it doesn't rust the entire way through and quick fixing it...

i'm not the only person that has done that...

the body lines had a pin stripe that he sanded off? i don't know, on my last s14, i used a heat gun and adhesive remover... worked great...

i didn't quite understand the sanding... but whatever...

Only a true friend would threaten to bite you in the a** to get you to do it right the first time! lol----------

OP, There is a body line there. He lied to you. s13's have a stock body line right in that spot, both hatch and coupe.

Does not really matter, But just FYI.

One Love,
