awsome stuff man. you gonna be upgrading your wheels? if so, you should give me first grabs at the 5zigens.....


great project though so far though. im def. digging the progress

 

Thanks!

I doubt I'm going to be buying new wheels anytime soon (just tires). I dont have the money and once I get the car back on the road I'm not going to be spending any more money on it for an extended period of time. I just want to enjoy driving it again.

 

i cant wait to see that bay finished off.

 

Awesome progress big fan of the S14..

 

If it dosnt rain, I'll have the tubs finished and primered and most of the body work done in the bay by the weeks end. Then I need a new spray gun and I'll paint the bay the weekend after that.

If some one buys my Recaro this whole process will go much faster

Anyways I'm really happy with how its turning out, since this is my first go at sheetmetal fabrication.

After the bay is all done its a quick engine rebuild and modify my harness and the car should be driveable again. After that it needs new paint and some tires and it will be all set.

 

what are you doing to the harness?

 

I cut the front chassis harness off, Its going to be put back together. I've yet to decide where I'm going to move it. I was going to hide it completly but it looks like I ran out of room. I might sink it down in the flat area of the tub with just the cover sticking up, then redo the loom and hide most of the wires.

 

So the tubs are done sheetmetal wise. I just have to finish up some welding/grinding and possibly make a few reinforcement pieces. Which should all be done by tomarrow night.

A good scrubbing is next, then body filler to smooth out the rough spots and body seam sealer then primer and paint. After that I focus on the motor which should be done(ish) after next paycheck.

Only two pictures since there isnt much to look at.
The wedges are for extra tire clearence when the tire is turned in.
Damage side dosnt look to bad IMO. It actually came out better then passenger side.

 

awesome. wanna do the ones on my bro's s14? i hacked up the battery tray and the other side something awful, i only need flat areas re welded in and make new perfect circular IC pipe holes. hehe.

 

I might give it a go once I finish my car. But that seems to be a ways off because I keep adding to the list of things I want to get done since its all torn apart.
