Well, here goes nothing... I have bought myself a Silvia rolling shell. Its already got some good drifting spec but needs a lot of work done to it. I will keep you all posted and I am sure a lot of you would already have seen this car advertised on here. Its work in progress for a while and is being funded by the sale of my Cossie parts. So no... I am not taping Silvia wings or other body parts onto my sierra.. no matter whats others may think.. lol Here is the spec so far.... all I need to do is decide what engine to fit... so many options and so many offers and suggestions... I will add to this as the build progresses.

No idea... These pics were taken by the guy I got the shell from. I have got some of my own but having issues uploading them at the mo...
i was tempted myself when this was for sale could make a great project, its certainly the right shell for it be keeping an eye on this
I am looking forward to the end result myself. Still don't know where I am really going with this yet... just going to do a bit at a time and see what happens
Saw the car yesterday. The engine is kind of in the car..... with the engine I have chosen to fit I need to have the fire wall recessed and the transmission tunnel widened. The firm doing this car is working hard on this and taking photo's of their progress. As soon as I get some pics sent through to me I will post them up! The clutch conversion from cable to hydraulic is now complete and the wiring looms concerned are now stitched together and all in place.
They are working long hours on this one..... They have lots of plans for this and covering the cost themselves... I just need to worry about supplyihg the parts Once I know its running, I will be taking it to stage 2 where I will by a bodykit for them to fit and paint!
LOL... you will have to wait and see.... but I have bought a couple of different engines in recent weeks and have some spares floating in the garden... a built SR20, V6 2.9 granada cosworth, 2.0l cosworth is also available... and a spare 2.1 pinto engine is also available and a V8 rover from the P6!!
About time you got a decent drift car. Put an SR in it, otherwise it will live there engine-less forever.
The SR is a possible and the alterations will allow it to be a "straight fit" replacement but I am having it altered to take something a little more power happy..... I have always done things a little differently and I am doing the same here.... but if it all goes wrong, the SR is on standby!
Lots of options available... I know whats going in but I will wait for confirmation that it can actually be done before I shout about it... From what I saw the other day... its looking very promising.
What!!!!!! Call your self drift Mekanik!! Anything can be done! that's the wrong attitude for someone doing an engine conversion Unless it's a meteor engine then you might have trouble. Don't wait for confirmation, starting ripping shit out you fag!
