    Onevia from New Zealand (56k MURDER) and a sr20 van

    Gidday all, i'm Jono from little ol' NZ, this is my '89 s13 silvia i bought...it looked better on the auction site to be honest with you....

    CA18DE witha nice auto behind it......can anybody say AWESOME?.....no?....oh.....alright then.

    It had a slight teeny tiny ding.

    so after the wee bit of depression at that damage i looked further and found that the car was actually almost completley rust free so it was actually a good unmodified base to start with.

    got this

    [​IMG]

    did this

    [​IMG]

    stripped this

    [​IMG]

    saw this

    [​IMG]

    must have been one hell of a crash to do this, i was ab it surprised when i took the gear selector out to be honest!

    [​IMG]

    worst job in the world

    [​IMG]

    CA got the boot

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    more damage

    [​IMG]

    paint stripped these

    [​IMG]

    then made them straight

    [​IMG]

    filled then dents in the bonnet

    [​IMG]

    ....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnd then i destroyed it all

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    got these from a s15 turbo

    [​IMG]

    and these from a r32 gts-t
    [​IMG]

    and fake brembo'd them with 330mm rotors and race pads, they arent as orange as they look, they are the same colour as r34 gtr vspec calipers

    haha this is VERY true, its simple as hell, put on the sill clamps, give it a big pull (easy with 20 tons of pull at your foot's disposal):smash: drill it off, give it a good tap up, fit everything up, measure it all over and weld it up....its simpler than it looks!:wack:


    update coming tomorow!
