Matt - I have a 6 HP compressor with a 25 Gallon tank, airflow is not an issue. 😃

We need to find out the details of the front end damage done to the car and required fixes - remember guys, the goal is to keep this thing streetable initially, since no one really has means to move it on a trailer.

As for the Calgary guys - everyone that donates something towards the car’s completion will be able to drive it yes. During the winter, when I’m not working, I’ll have plenty of time to come down there with the car and let you guys beat on it for awhile. 😃

What is chalkboard paint? The car is already flat black, and we can get flat black paint for cheap here at the shop.

I think the chalkboard paint is a little thicker so you can write on it with chalk and not have it scratch through.

Would Fullblown be interested in potentially sponsoring the car? Not sure what form that would take or how we would return the favor, but there’s interest we can talk further about it. 🙂

Anyway, how’s that car looking Dave? Shit man - it was all I could think about at work today. 😃

Well the car looks pretty good.

The good:  
It’s $500  
Hardly any rust on the wheel wells  
Strut tower rust is easily fixable  
No front end damage, rebar intact  
Comes with some spare parts  
Engine was rebuilt 60xxx kms ago  
No timing chain rattle  
Razo shift knob  
Exhaust is loud

The bad:  
Tranny grinds going into second (Jeff said he would donate a tranny 8))  
The bolts that hold the hood on are stripped  
The hood has holes for hood pins  
The hatch has some spoiler holes  
Rust has gone thru below the door (common on S13)  
Will need a battery  
Runs a bit rich, probably a leaky injector  
Exhuast is loud hehe

The good far outweighs the bad for this car, especially considering the $500 price tag. Everyone thank the user HotWheelz for offerering us such a good deal!

I’m supposed to sell my transmission to Hot Wheelz. If this is his car that he’s selling and he doesn’t need it (the transmission) any more I could donate my tranny to the cause. It needs a new clutch though

That would be cool, cause the tranny I have is sitting still in my parts car, but there is no engine and no hood, so it’s been exposed to the elements. I have the hood latches on my car too, if someone can get the old ones out of this car.

I dunno what they were talking about for the front end damage then lol. Good for us!

Zweet.

I have that huge Saab intercooler that we could try to get working. I heard that some people have used them in their cars in the past.

It’s yours Mike - if you can find us a good deal on racing seats. I want to have racing seats and 4 point harnesses for the two front seats, the rear seats (if any) will be axed.

Flavio, we’ll take the sway bar if you don’t sell it, AND KEEP THAT ENGINE STAND. If you really want rid of it, I’ll buy it, because if we need to do any internal motor work, we’ll need the damn thing to do it with.

Here’s how this is going to work - I am the one buying the car, and it’ll be registered to me. The interior will be stripped out, and parts either sold/given away - then we’ll start stockpiling parts and when we have enough of them we can start doing the turbo system. The goal over the winter is to make the car as absolutely light as possible and installing performance parts that aren’t engine dependent, ie. sway bars, coilovers, LED washer nozzles, etc. 😃

Can I get the driver’s control switch for the passenger side window, and the plastic thing that surrounds the climate controls, audio, and shifter? I’ll pay for them and help with whatever for the car.
