    So Iv been on here for a long time and my favorite thing was always the build threads the information and advise on this forum is second to none so time has come where I’m in a position to put up my own..
    hopefully it will help others and help me too so any advise or ideas would be welcomed. I’m building the car myself just want it done right and reliably.

    So this is where it started last November I got myself a car I always wanted a black s14 and started making it look the way I wanted. B7C8431B-B8B4-4729-BD77-7C3C03CD66F9.
    I’ll update as soon as I can Iv to get back to work. But that’s where the story started
    2C7B7A9E-DC66-4B1A-A974-AAE603C34A5B.
    Iv lots of pics and a good bit of progress made. I’ll keep ye posted

    So after driving the s14 for about a month I knew by the spec that it was down in power so went about searching for boost leaks and sorting out the front wiring in the arch same as every other sbody E1E2C03C-F14E-49E6-8A72-89F84AC99F05. So this all went to plan and I found various leaks so obviously had to test drive it after gaining all the extra pony’s...
    Well that didn’t go to plan and the test drive turned into this











    E27A293E-3591-40A3-9D73-63A54D93E091. BEF47758-89C4-4364-9AF1-466ACA90E591.
    F8946C81-549D-4196-9939-8D27E2B268EB.
    so I hit a wall on the test drive and wrote my dream car off.. ohwell shit happens

    So front was wrote off the chassis legs were kinked near the bulk head and the shell in general wasn’t worth trying to save..

    So this leads us into the title after about 10 months the car was fully stripped in boxes thanks to my friend Kevin Mac who did it in his spare time in his shed I didn’t even take one bolt off it so big thanks to this man

    Anyways found a caged shell just around the corner from work and luckily the boss said I can store it and work away at it whenever Iv time which was a great result. 24 hours security and all my tools are there so it’s a win win although I get caught working late because I can’t exactly say I can’t stay on and then go work on the drift car but that’s a small price to pay to keep it here. 28DE3775-12DA-4678-A118-3604686A31F4. . 24639220-C07A-4D3C-AA14-A6CFC7969438. . 5334F441-71D1-4F64-B20E-A0C96D83A53C. .
