WARNING: lots of pictures Picked this car up back in december. was in pretty rough shape i was mislead on the condition of the car. turns out it has quite a bit of rust underneath everything and a shotty fender pull filled with an inch of bondo and fiberglass. Not so concerned with the bondo as i planned on overfenders anyways. but the rust has been a time consuming piece to deal with. I cant just fix it half ass either, gotta do it right even tho i could crash it first run out. I have been building my parts list for some time now and have gather'd pretty much everything i need except some of the smaller stuff. the first phase of my build is getting the car fixed of rust and cage installed . then get painted and put back together, phase 2 will happen next winter.. the parts list: Driftworks subframe complete with knuckles front and rear tien tie rod and ends w/offset spacer r200 diff cusco 2 way-infinity j30 axles Bc racing coils (br's) Red top sr20 w/gt2871 subaru 550 cc injectors cosworth 1.1 mm headgasket ARP head studs version:SELECT type 4 kit origin 20 mm front fenders(wings) origin 50 mm rears megan carbon roof spoiler and trunk wing Have to keep some surprises as im starting the thread after i started the build Thats the jist, now on with the picture of the car when i got it and where it stands now.. i certainly wish i was further than i was cause the weather is beautiful and there are so many nice cars driving around this is how it looked the day i picked it up starting tare down OMG RUST! Horrendous pull job enough with the gloating time to get to work rust repair...and go... i think that might be enough pictures for the first post... will do the drivetrain next cheers and enjoy Koncept
DW goodies has arrived powder coated subframe with poly bushes assembled tempory need proper bolts for the arm kit or have to weld some sleeves in problem fitting wheels with the knuckles gonna have to shorten it up
Looked like it had been used and abused when you first bought it. Nothing wrong with that .. plans sound good for it. Should keep the wheels that came on it. They look better than the chrome ones in the second last photo ( just my opinion )
definitely used and abused.. well shotty put together. i wish i could use the 15 x 11 ssr's but cant fit anything under an 18" on the geo master knuckles unless you modify them.. i will update when the new wims get here.
Was gonna say that was super super quick progress till i re-read bought in december, looking good ....whats next
next step is finish up rust repair then.. get into cage building and tub the front wells. lots to go..in rougher shape than anticipated.. picked up a minty pair of these gems tho.. pretty penny to get these in mint
thanks guys will be getting some progress end of the week. have to focus on the bread and butter till then.. keep ya posted quick pic of the day
small update.. had a drink last night and finished up the driver side rust i was working on and fitted the over fender so i can make a new inner well that protrudes out to the over fender. and over is on temp similar to what phil did on is s15.. try and save the over fender if tires ever delaminate
i got my subframes mounted to the car to check for clearances on the front arches and what ive already cut out of the back. it got me real excited! seeing the car on the ground again. heres a quick peek all of the arms are set at there shortest settings ATM.. that will change as soon as i have time to set them up Cheers DW
bit of an update like i said been itchin to get some time in on the car. and its happening Tidied up the shop and did a bit of a rearrange .. started to finish up the stitch welding in the engine bay and get prepped for tubs up front.. felt i was on a roll so i went down to a trailer store and got some trailer fenders.. unbelievable that my tire is only being stopped now by the frame rail.. probably going to shave it a bit started the mock up of how i was going to fill the void..this is what i came up with this is how it looks in metal Im pretty happy with the results now just finish up the other side and engine bay is damn close to primer cheers
