A good friend from Highschool Mike Kent (McGruber: formerly Slowerthanyou on this forum) after selling me his track car and getting out of S-chassis' approached Tommy and I about putting together a slightly modified SR20, RHD converted, Silvia frontend, widebody s13 coupe..
Nothing too crazy, Very nice looking, but not centered around as a track car. He just had a baby and needed something with a backseat but was intrigued by this, and we talked.

We talked to him and explained that the best way to get what he was pursuing would be to buy an entire clip like Sean (CAforS13) did with his 180sx project.
Kei looking at the clip realizing maybe SR would've been a cheaper option
Working HUD and sounds of cranking shell put a smile on our faces. Very stoked.
clip goodies, minus a corner light
Cool box keeping drinks cold.
20mm spacers
JDM Road Flare
1st day with the clip was mostly taking it off the pallet/trailer.
We searched Craigslist, FL classifieds, EBay, etc for a good shell to do the wrong hand drive conversion to lol. we traveled to Plant City to look at one that looked promising, but it was bondo'd in several spots and tons of rust.
Then We came across Marshall's coupe FS back before he went to the jail, he gave us the car for a pretty good deal w/ Xenon Aero
Keeping it somewhat simple on the engine, he went with a rebuild on the motor that came with the clip. He was originally going to purchase the Kyoto 6666 Rocket Bunny kit to set off the car but decided on going with the Supermade: instant gentleman kit instead, so after the clip came, got to work on stripping the clip, and get ready for engine removal and firewall removal.
A/C full blast NOW! haha
If the motor is too heavy, lift the clip from around the motor
Pulling the chassis harness and sound deadening out.
Motor tear down in the parts room as parts start to arrive.
Stance clocking adapters
Some sweet RHD perfecting parts.
RHD power window finisher pieces for RHD w/ power windows
Dmax crystal corners, Brick headlights (supermade covers not arrived yet)
Instant Gentleman kit arrived with DMAX front and rear widebody
amazing.
Update: 8/23
My Friend Rob came by and took some pics of progress. car is RHD cowl and everything, put the aero on since this would be the last time this car would be together before paint.
Tommy went tinkering with what we thought was a reclining sunroof, but is a tilting moon roof
I'll leave u with this. I'll update with more pics in next post
Thanks for looking.
