(my project is starting to come along and i thought id post some pics of the progress up to where i am so far. i bought the car last may from a dealship in west va. the car is a 95 base model with a 5 lug swap. it also came with kyb agx’s and tein springs (i will be getting some tein flex’s after its painted). i got into an accident about a month after i had the car (a girl cut in front of me and i hit her and bounced into a tree) this is why i am painting it. onto the pics! this is when i first bought the car. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSC00200.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSC00200.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/Feb05089.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/Feb05089.jpg) accident the car would of been totaled but we didnt go through insurence. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/050406_0738a.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/050406_0738a.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/050406_0739a.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/050406_0739a.jpg) did all the body work myself. i am getting the car sprayed at my friends bodyshop for free. im just doing all the prep work at my house. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_2613.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_2613.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_2602.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_2602.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_2609.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_2609.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_2600.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_2600.jpg) all the rust was patched. i cut pieces of quaters off of some junk cars at my dads junk yard and used them for patches. and on the rocker i cut the rot out of the them and cut the rockers off of my s14 front clip and welded them in. so as much of a bondo bucket as it looks like it really isnt that bad. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DCFC0105-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DCFC0105-1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSCN0213.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSCN0213.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSCN0215.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSCN0215.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_3029.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_3029.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_3028.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_3028.jpg) i also set the sr in to test fit the front bumper cover with the intercooler on and so i could punch the whole out for the piping with a hydrolic hole punch i borrrowed from work. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSC00357.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSC00357.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSC00358.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/DSC00358.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_3042.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Maxxman/IMG_3042.jpg) ---
