    Oh but they did go to that trouble for nothing same as the hss and carbon canister and rubber steering bush. Seriously, you won't miss it. It will just feel more positive in a good way.

    Kouki lights, bigger wheels, lowered uprated suspension.... where do you draw the line? This is not a concourse build, it's a slightly modded Petrol spesh
    I can't live with the stock radio cassete so I'm fitting an Alpine head unit with new speakers and a sub in the boot
    Remote locking is also on the cards.... I can't be arsed putting the key in the door

    It's outside now to make sure it doesn't rain in

    It's a modinisation project.

    As long as you are not sick of the sight of it, this must be the nicest part of the project from here. I always thought that if I was going to build a kit car, I'd do it with all new bits

    The main problem is, it will look and drive the same as my last S13. Kind of been there done that.

    I still have a few rusty bits Suspension bolts, front knuckles / hubs and a couple of calipers. Few bits to paint in red as well.
    Parts were all over the place so I put them all in the garage to make things easier

    Awesome! Are you going to use this one then Pete?

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    Thanks for the kind words and yes I will be using it

    More bits fitted



    Trying to get it water tight now



    Fuel tank in



    I'm spraying everything with Dynax as I build it. It's a bit messy but should make it last a lot longer.
    Downside is it loses the bling factor.



    Rear bumber being assembled using all stainless fasteners
