i have to copy mark again… everyone does seem to think that painting the “body” of a car instantly eliminates the frame rail rust or that their car is super “fresh” after lol…

it is much cheaper no matter how much sentimental value your car has, to find another shell and sell yours to someone who wants to just drive the car… i mean s13s can be found for under 3000 pretty clean… or if you don’t mind RHD just go get a clean hatch or coupe silvia and enjoy a sturdy rust free chassis…

there are only a select few guys who have over 10k worth of parts to transfer over to their new shell which is why everyone should be able to find a clean s chassis and not have to worry - just my thoughts - the kouki i have has good rails and 6/10 body you never know until you look… always look before you buy, kids
