The correct way to build an s14.

Its not welded in place yet, just clamped on. But yea the hood needs to be adjusted a little. The core support is just sitting in place at the moment. Tomarrow it will be tack welded in then I'll start on the tubs.

word i figured it was still just clamped

That new hood looks like crap, give it to me. I need it for...uh...some reason. Yeah, some reason. You should do popups or something.

Good to see this car coming back to life. Nice work!

[longfellow2]

Lol the new hood was on fire at one point. I have no clue but I think the shell had an electrical fire or something. Thats what all the spots of rust are from and the underside ribbing is loose from the top skin. I think Im going to get a seibon over summer and color match it to my car.

lol was it JBs old 14

[OneCleanS14]

lolololol. ya that was JB's. id trash it. it had holes in it and shit. it was naaaaaaaaasttttttyyyy.

[longfellow2]

I dont know who JB is but its the same hood off of the shell I bought. It will suffice till I trade it out with something better later on.

[Shadytrixta1]

if it was JB's it was top mount and supposedly got the brake master on fire, which caught the tore up shit on the under side of hood on fire jumped to the other side and got through the harness

looks like your on the right track man just watch the line on the front edge of the hood and the tip of the passenger side fender.

it wasnt top mount. it was a bottom mount. but yes, it was the brake master.

dam u amaze me

[Shadytrixta1]

oh yeah your right cause it was the wastegate dump that caused it or something like that

[longfellow2]

Thanks, I only have 3 bolts on the hood but I re-adjusted it today. Its welded in for the most part. I needs a few braces and some spot welding but its in there pretty solid.

I found the bumper is screwed up so it sits crooked and I need to modify the bumper support to get it to sit straight. But over all I'm happy with how its turned out so far. So I need a new USDM bumper if anyone has one.

Time for pics:


Lower part of the fender isnt bolted on.


Skirts and Valences mock up.


The car needs to be lowered again.


Tubbing will get rid of that gap.
