hey, ive been on the site for a year and some, but ive never really posted before. i used to own a minty red 89 that was pretty well stock except for coilovers and the cheap wheels i bought it with… i sold that about 6 months ago and just recently aquired another S13… i wasnt really looking for another one as i still have my MR2 and my F350 but this one came along for 500 bucks so i couldnt resist. When i bought it the engine was screwed and the clutch master cyll needed a rebuild, took about 10 hrs to pull the old engine, the donor engine and put the donor engine in. the body is in good shape (rust wise) the engine bay was very very dirty and the whole car in general had not been taken very good care of, but with a new engine and a quick wash job and it cleaned up not too bad. ![http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286039-2/IMG_0130.JPG](http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286039-2/IMG_0130.JPG) dirty engine bay after a little cleaning ![http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286045-2/IMG_0131.JPG](http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286045-2/IMG_0131.JPG) after alot of cleaning ![http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286054-2/DSC00847.JPG](http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286054-2/DSC00847.JPG) new engine on mounts, no wiring or trans mounts yet ![http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286067-2/IMG_0136.JPG](http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286067-2/IMG_0136.JPG) after a wash, in the garage. ![http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286062-2/IMG_0138.JPG](http://carpron.com/multisite/d/286062-2/IMG_0138.JPG) almost no rust Sorry for the shitty cell phone pics.

my last few projects have been alot different than this one will be, i had a mk1 mr2 that i swapped a 3sgte into ive still got my 93mr2 that im building right now and i had a 1jz swapped supra. this one will probably get as much suspension stuff done to it as i can and a basic sr swap with a small turbo kit and some bpu’s… nothing major though Tyler
