Image

Image

Stripped interior after a while

Image

Got these way back when i was 15, still not on the car yet because theres sooo much to do :S


Image

Image

?520 so i had 3 jobs when i was 15 saving up for my baby!

More pics of stripped and shit Had to get a 1/4 part of a slam panel off a teal eg to weld on, ud never know it was there now :P

Image

Image

Image

Image

ok got ma rims Rota grids in bronze 16's ?430

Image

Image

Image

Image

ok now comes the c/f seats absolutly sexual :) ?450

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Updated pics, the pics of the bodywork is shit so ill leave that out and the pics to show the engine bay arent great either but i swear it looks better in person, the blocks gunna be silver, rocker cover tiger-eye metalic and the sump black so the engine itself stands out and looks clean.

Image
Image
I (L) My Honda-just had to sling it in there :P
Image
And roof lining off
Image

Now most of the bodywork is done, welded so on and engine bay has been painted matt black but sanding down and going over with gloss black and the interior wires and such have been taken out and everything masked of ready for paint, finnally after 2 years !!!

Im covering the grey dash and all that in black suede and getting new black carpet and suede on the roof for the interior so its gunna look sweet :) Hopefully!

Its been really hard for me juggeling between college, working at argos and working at torphicen inn but ill get it done, and looking at my insurance quotes looks like i wont even be able to drive it :(

#1973 Well im coming up for 17, 17 on the 27th of this month, but i got the car when i was 15 and fell in love with the JDM style, so i started saving up and now that im at college and my brother and dad helping me im learning ALOT and with this site im sorted :D

The old D15b2's getting put back in but just cleaned up and painted. Got alot of plans but now seeing these insurance quotes im going to have to start saving up for that instead but hopefully ill order my c/f spoiler and lip and amber corners soon since i have around ?400 saved :) Wish me luck people :D

Thanks man, its better doing it yourself as you pay for the products not someone else who bumps up the price on them and all that to fit it and paint etc. And i can't wait to see it finished either :P

#9514 Woop woop from page 2 of the "your ride" part of the forum the builds back and stronger than ever :woot: !!

Well heres todays little story, its my dads bday and all he wanted to do was have his 2 sons working on his s13(needed welded and new brakes fitted) and work on my own car. He bought me the paint when i was asleep and we headed to the garage. Now the laqour isn't on yet but it still looks amazing!! And i can fairly say im getting a hang at spraying :D

Well outta 97 pics i took the best ones i though and my cams shit so it won't show the true gold! I also took a couple of pics of the mess lying about, ie the D15b2 drying up and random parts as theres fook all on the car itself lol!
