Took a plasma cutter to the spare tire well, made rear firewall, ordered some ATL cell components, made an AOS for the Eg33, crushed the stock fuel tank with the skid steer.

Was an eventful day

this would be my new DD rot box

its a 91 base model hatch (wingless, wiperless rust free rear hatch)  
its got a few small rot holes that will be taken care of, i just stripped all of the interior to clean and pressurewash everything

its going to be strictly a point A to point B car so i cant complain, once i get a job i will be saving for another s14 or a swapped s13

Near complete with my exterior detail. Just need to coat the panels with wax.

I can’t believe how good the car came out. Granted, most of the panels have new paint, but a lot of the swirls are now gone. Just need to install a copper exhaust gasket tomorrow and the car will be in showroom condition exterior-wise.
