Default Cameron and pete team up for vert project..

Pete and I are working on this vert blah blah..

Plan 1- [U]was[/U], put over fenders on that we picked up for next to free. Install my old r32 front end.. Blah blah but....................................
I didn't want to cut the quarters because I don't have money for nice wheels. Blah blah..

Anyways now the plan is simple-
1.) clean it up - 1/2 way there. new pics soon!
2.) pull chassis harness from the engine bay- Done.
3.) remove all brackets, accessories, minus brake booster because I am lazy- Done
4.)sand and primer whole thing- Done but now redoing it.
5.)Remove all wiring accesories from interior to paint it- BUT, contempleting doing this since I now have mint vert interior.- Blah
6.)I have a sohc front, and dohc front so I havent decided what to use.
7.)Bought 98 ka, converted it to s13. It is the best ka ever, well stock ka atleast.
8.) the rest is undecided but it is going to be stock for the most part and clean , YAY!

Yea. z wheels will just be temp wheels.

I got brand new b magic over fenders for 50 bux. No way I could pass that up. Plus , he front end is atleast 30mm wider than the s13, I am sure you of all people knock this seeing as I have your old front end.

I did put up that I will be using spacers. Unless I find a decently priced set of cobra wheels before I get to that point.

I ran a r32 front on stock body and it just did not look right. I think the overfenders will be a good edition. I just cant decide if I want them to be molded to the body or not. Right now its a no. but I will decide this weekend when I install.

Thats what I wanted to do originally. 30mm overfenders and good fitting
I had dreams for it, but thats where it stopped.. it was a joke that I was trying to turn into something more than that lol

I still like the r32 front. As you can see by my sales attempts, I often loose hope in it ever being clean but the new front I am picking up has no missing tabs, only one baby dent in the hood. No hood pins etc. Clean oem metal parts. I just need to properly mod the fenders, and buy a clean aero bumper ( I am also interested in getting those litle tightner pieces you have to hold your bumper to fenders, just to eliminate all gaps).

I would like to get vertex aero or uras aero to cover the "too long" fenders but that has all yet to be decided.

But one thing is for sure. this car is going to show major potential after this next week.

the r32 front will be on, along with the overfenders and fiberglass trunk.
HOPEFULLY, the paint will be done as long as the tent me and pete build holds.

BTW once I pick up the new r32 front your old one will be for sale if you know anyone.

Idea I have as far as interior goes.. I just think the saude might get a little too much abuse being its a vert.

This set up with personal wheel, and ebay Fride seat.
