So, my “Project Mayhem” So I decided to buy a pretty much falling apart S13 at the beginning of January, and until several weeks ago it has been waiting in line at a body shop to have a framerail replaced :anger . However, I did get it back just recently and have been on my grind ever since, trying to produce a slick and unique piece of engineering (Ok, Nissan’s engineering…) that can remain somewhat luxurious but perform better than most! Basically since then I have redone every panel piece by piece, dent pulling, bondo’ing, grinding, sanding, reconstructing, it has been a long process but in the end it _should_ be worth it! Atleast 30 hours have gone into restoring the body, and removing the rust which by yourself is a long time and requires some serious mind numbing skillx0rs. Anyway, screw my blab about how much time and \*ish Ive put into my car - PICTURE TIME! How I bought her: [![http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/sjhphoto/240sx_rear_left.jpg](http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/sjhphoto/240sx_rear_left.jpg)](http://photobucket.com) [![http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/sjhphoto/-II011.jpg](http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/sjhphoto/-II011.jpg)](http://photobucket.com) After preparation, before paint!

Good to see someone around here going a different route with the engine. Should be a really fun car, and way to go on doing all the repair work yourself! ---

Painting it your garage eh? Hopefully you made it dust free. Black car + dust = a lot o wet sanding to get it all nice and purdy Happened to my friends blazer when we painted it. Looks good so far, keep it up
