Dori Mat's S13

thought since i've been on here for a year now it was about time i started a project thread to show what has been draining my bank account

this time last year i went to U.S.C and was watching the drift demo when lex was kind enough to take me for a passenger ride in narcotic's R32
he convinced me i needed a rear wheel drive car and i went out and brought a 1991 nissan 200sx facelift s13 from neil a walker on here



the car had no engine or gearbox but i intended it to be a project.

at this point i did think it would just be easier to repair the red s13 and thats where the delay has come started stripping it out for repair and cut the front end metal of it and priced up replacement panels ,at that point when i found out how much they were i decided to go back to the blue car and strip the good bits off the red car

hmmm how am i gonna get the cage out ???

i know

had a bit of a lack of enthusiam for a while and didn't do much to the car but brought bits for it

4 black standard s14 alloys
z32 300zx rear discs,calipers and goodridge braided hoses
9" x 16" racing hart CR7's




9.5" x 17" racing hart cr7's

it was then i got a bit carried away with seeing other projects on here and decided i wanted the car to look good aswell ,i know some people hate the idea of shiny painted drift cars but i wanted it to be presentable ,i know it will get dented and scratched but IMHO there's nothing wrong with having a bit of pride in the appearance of your car
