It’s been a while since I last posted, but here’s a look at my S13 project that I’ve neglected to share online until now.
Some of you may remember that back in 2021, I had a ‘92 base model 240. Unfortunately, the chassis was heavily rusted and beyond saving, so I searched for a new shell while I parted out
my current car. Eventually, I came across a ‘93 base model in Bakersfield. It came with a tired KA, so I pulled it and sold it within an hour for $400.
I resealed and simplified my old KA, sourced a core support from SD, and had the new core support welded in and straightened on a frame machine. I had the bay painted in Hot Red and converted the front end to a Silvia. I also picked up a roof in LA and transported it using the roof rack on the e28 since the new shell had some gnarly C pillar rust. That rust got patched up and I sold the remains later.
I re-did the chassis harness, manual swapped the car, and got the KA running again. I rebuilt the front suspension, installed a new fuel tank from LV, and dumped the car on BCs.
I also collected way too many parts, including small wheels, and put the car aside after spending over 30 hours on bodywork.
It’s been parked for the past year or so, primarily because I lost motivation to complete the remaining bodywork and struggled to find a shop willing to take it on.
Moral of the story, keep grinding lol

Holy crap, been a long time waiting for this but I finally got one. A red s13 coupe with a kade, sadly Auto but for the price, I can’t even complain. Super excited for this car and all the things I have planned. An asian boi in an asian car lol, I didn’t need another car but I wanted to buy one before they get even more drift taxed. #s13
