thanks dudes. first and foremost i want to find every short cut/mickey mouse job the previous owner put this car through and fix it. i had to put most of my interior back together and fix the paint and body as you can see. also i recently replaced my steering rack and rack bushings, upgraded to tein inner and outter tie rods and put on a RPsport rear subframe brace. before the end of july i plan on installing tein s-techs, Fujii SPL p/s line, KYB AGX, and Nismo power brace. after that sway bars and tension rods. but that's as far as i've planned. everything else is still in the air.

looks cleaner!

you should get a paint job... and if there's nothing wrong with the current engine... don't even consider a motor swap.

once again thanks guys. but like adrian said "if there's nothing wrong with the current engine... don't even consider a motor swap." i have some friends with SRs and they always comment that my sohc runs better than any other they've seen. i just need to fix my leaky oil pan, clean my EGR valve and install new motor mounts. my main focus right now is suspension.
