    It's nice to see an s13 being saved instead of scrapped. Good work, hope you can enjoy it soon

    It seemed such a waste to scrap the shell however it did turn out to be more rust than i first thought. Bar the rust the car is pretty mint the engine is smooth and it has everything i needed lol
    However i hate the wheels and desperately want new ones

    Every sx-owner says this at least once during ownership

    Some spraying has been done however i decided that the os rear quart needs re lacquering as it is running a tad thin

    i bet that screen rust was caused by a careless windscreen fitter in the past damaging the frame. glad to see someone fixing it though, that would be more than too far gone for many. whats it like under the sills and chassis legs?
