Having now owned the car for a while, I felt it was time to post a project/build thread. Realistically I have not done much significant work to the car, however every thing I have done I've been documenting it on my spreadsheet and by pictures. May aswell have text documentation of everything, as well as being able to share with and interact with everyone on here, afterall, this forum has already proven to be extremely resourceful. It was only right I paid my membership fee and started this thread!
This is only my second car, previously I drove at 2006 Seat Ibiza 1.9TDi (PD100) was a mint first car. The S14 is heck of a change from before, but I love it.
Here's a picture of both the S14 and Ibiza when I owned both at the same time.
I'm one to write shitloads of text, but will also post a lot of pictures, so choose what you like . Additionally, I'll post a link to my Flickr album, which has endless photos, sorted newest to oldest.

In June 2016 I purchased my 1995 200SX S14. Here's how it looked upon purchase.
It was a real mission to buy it. It was at the other side of the country and I had no insurance on any car to get there. Ended up being a train journey to my friend JackB's (fellow SXOC member) house and then going with him to go look at it. The previous owner kindly agreed to deliver it to Jack's house, where it would spend 2 weeks until I managed to arange insurance to get it back home up north.
The car was previously owned by few members on here. It was owned by "Deeman" and then sold to "Big Dubs" who started a build thread for this car himself. It can be found here. http://sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?567864
In the end, he started to part out the car and I believe it was entirely in pieces. He then ended up selling it to his friend, who I believe pieced the car back together. No idea how much of the stuff currently making up the car, is original and what had to be reacquired. All I know is I have multiple boxes of bolts and pieces, the interior has been put together missing many bolts and clips, I'm sure it's like that throughout.
I have a bunch of progress to catch up on writing up, so will keep updating it until I reach the current state, which isn't much of a change from previous if I'm honest. I have no experience of working on cars previously, so everything is new to me. One thing you'll notice I do a lot of cleaning and tidying because at least I know what I'm doing.
