Liams s14a Re-shell and upgrade!
Well here in my project thread for my life with an s-body!
In March 2013 I travelled to Northern Ireland (600mile round trip) via bus/plane/ferry and s-body.
And here she is sat on the ferry looking very pretty!

So I fell in love with her and spent every hour cleaning and fixing all the niggly problems.

Pulled 330bhp with a faulty boost controller!

Then my inexperience and stupidity got the better or me and I put her in a field :'(

The crash which obviously destroyed the car also released lots of rust :( so the shell was a scrapper! So I went on the hunt of a new shell
After looking at numerous shells I found a full car for sale for cheap due to a leaky 4th piston ring So I bought SgtBash's car, as although slightly more expensive than a rolling shell it meant I had lots of spares and bits to sell to recoup some of the money.

The blue nissan has been stored at my cousins unit and I have extended the garage so I can do the swap at home.

And that is as far as I have got!
I have started selling some of the unneeded parts and will have a full for sale thread in next couple of month
