Nash”s Uk 200sx s14a – JDM Zenki Silvia – JDM Kouki Silvia Project
Many people will recognise Nash”s ongoing s14 project from the forum, below are a few snap shots of how it”s progressed over the years in all of it”s different guises. See the Link at the bottom for the full forum Project thread.
This is the car that Nash”s went to view
I originally had around 6k to spend on a 14a, and i thought id easily get a mint one with a few mods fairly quickly. i was wrong
, i religiously searched pistonheads and sxoc for 9-10 months every day. nothing came up for sale that i really liked, and the ones i did, sold really quickly. the one good thing about waiting this long was that the whole time i was looking i was saving more money, so by the time i found one i had around 9k to spend. wasn”t really to keen on spending that much really but when s14 dave on here put his up for sale, i just had to have it
.
so within a few days and numerous pm`s to dave i was on my way to view it).
anyway got up to whitby and pulled into the car park where dave and his 200 were sittin, and i instantly new id buy it. the car was immaculate and i couldn”t fault it
Then in 2010 Nash”s started to do a quality refresh of the uk s14a.
Looking good, yet there”s more to come….
Then in 2013 this happened 😀
One of the final pics of the uk s14a as a full car 🙁
Ever since abbott”s tried to convince me to buy this of him a few years back ive regretted it ever since:(. after spending a lot of time with abbott putting the car together originally its safe to say i know the car pretty well (abbotts build thread for those who havent seen it yet [url]http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?445260-my-s14-(project-keep-it-mint)&highlight=[/url] ) then to my surprise another local friend of mine (ANDYRED) bought the car a year or so later.
andys recently had a change of heart with the car so once again the car was for sale. this time i wasnt going to let this car slip away yet again. so a quick call to andy and the car/shell was mine:D
andy never intended to sell the car as a whole which to most seems a crime but we all know these nederlandsegokken online casino cars are worth more in bits these days:(. this actually suited me fine as my intention with this car is to swap aload of my bits from the red one onto the white one. this tbh was the hardest decision i had to make as i love the red one to bits and its a shame that all the plans i had for it now wont happen, however in the long run the white car is a much better shell with a lot more potential……
Some progress was made and here Nash”s is test fitting the S14a front from
the red car to the Zenki shell
Now with the added bonus of a full Jdm Front bumper and Gracer lip set up 😀
Over the months Nash”s has been working hard to make the new car in to an absolutely mint example of an S-body with an attention detail that most can only dream of being able to achieve.
