was after a drift toy a couple of years ago and stumbled upon a 12k preface lift which is like brand new obviously i couldnt drift this so i have decided to keep hold of this and buy another s13 its done 135k needs a respray and various bits welding and got the dreaded ca death rattle at 3k but on the plus side its on tein coilovers and its got a welded in roll cage here are a few pics
One minter and one drift car. Perfect combo lol. It doesn't look too bad in the pics.
Yeah I got the best of both worlds, the pics do it justice tough and like all 13s its already stated draining my bank balance as the gear box is now stuck in 1st, another thing to go on the really long list of things I need.
I'd rather have a 13 than lots of money. You can't take it with you when you deck it lol.
I take it you're going to strip the engine if it's rattling by the way?
lol yeah thats true, going to rebuild the ca so will take the box out at the same time, hopefully the crank isn't completely f*cked.
It sounds like it is going to go through your money lol. Never mind. At least you've got a decent cage and coilovers.
well started welding today spent most of the day and only got half done
its even started rusting from inside outthe pic i got was the passenger side near where the seat belt bolts to, will be back on it in a few weeks to get the rest of the welding done and undersealed
thought i would take a pic of both together my grey one will be on the road in the next few weeks
great looking pair there mate, hopefully well see the grey one at a few more meets this summer

You could have two more different cars really, could you ?
I bet the second one cost you more than the first to buy and the condition is like chalk and cheese. Good on you for wading into it though.
You need to get the grey one to the weekender. There will be much ooh-ing and aah-ing if you do
cheers for the comments guys, jonny i got the best of both worlds now eh, after buying this one i can see why there isn't so many 13s left though its had 2 hole days welding i wonder how many people would just say f*ck it and scrap it, yeah im going to the weekender mate looking forward to it
right well its been a while, have been busy on the old girl got my calipers painted and the car prepped for paint one of my mates is a painter by trade so got him over to blast over it for me its came out really well im off work for the next few days so i will be under sealing the hole car and painting the inside, also got some wheels the off set aint great but some spacers will help that think im going to paint them white to here are a few pics
got the cage painted today, and most of me and the car undersealed lol tomorrow im going to finish off the undersealing and paint the floor then in a few weeks i will start rebuilding the engine
Looking very nice in white mate
Did you paint the cage after fitting it ?
cheers jonny, yeah as it was already fitted when i bought the car , it did take a liitle while but got round it ok and with the windscreen out made it easier to, i love white 13s so was the obvious choice for it, plan was to paint the roof and a pilers black but kinda happy i didnt now
Ermmm... you know white cars have black a-pillars and stripe over the top of the door, right ?
I think it is done with a kind of wrap.

Yeah they where black on it already mate that's why I thought of doing the roof black to but seen a few white ones like that so thought I would be a bit different and go all whiteErmmm... you know white cars have black a-pillars and stripe over the top of the door, right ?
