Sanding Away

Got bored with the s13, so I started to fix some of the dents and little things in the car. Idk why seeing as the goal is to drift it into objects like a wall, or another car. LOL JK.

This was after i had been saiding for a while and spread the first coat of bondo. lol



Started sanding the rear bumper too since its all kinda messed up. haha



After more sading



Second or third coat of bondo on this spot. (there all super thin coats)



Started on this fender since it was the worst paint wise. Luckliy it only has like 1 or 2 little dings on it



Started walking around the car lookin for high or low spots. First high spot I found in the passenger door.



Low spot on the fuel door



Low spot in drivers door



Started workin on the front bumper since its also torn up



And somewhere in there, I flushed the radiator, and got my Fujita filter to fit. lol. But for some reason when I pulled it out of the driveway, or tried, it wouldnt stay running. Starts fine, drives fine, but if u let off the gas it wont idle, it just dies. I havent had a chance to even pop the hood. I'll have to check into it tomorrow. Hopefuly its something simple and it'll be up and running as it was. On a better note I dropped off the paper work for my smog today, so thats on its way to being done. Car should legaly be on the streets next week! :D

Such A Tease

A Little More Done

Got a little more done on the s13 today :D

Blower, a/c, and heater core...who needs those?



All emptied out



After over an hour of struggeling I finally got the dash in, and it took another half hour or soo to get all the bolt holes lined up.



Everything back together and the weay it should be



The next mod. I just need to pick up a hub



And my other "next mod"



Didnt take much but some lining up to get that installed




After all that, I took it for a livley test drive, and wow that car is a lot of fun. hahaha

Just Checkin' In

Yep I'm still alive. Hahaha. I know its been a while since my last post, but I've been busy, and havent really had a car to blog about. Lol. I finally got the S13 back from my mechanic friend, after like 2 months of it sitting there, waiting for parts, work, and other things. But its home now, and runs great. The idle is perfect, it has lots more throttle, and no more exhaust leaks. Hahah.

Anyway, after its arival back home, I didnt hesitate to start tearing it apart. The goal was to change the messed up power windows with awesome manual windows. As well as do a few other small things.



Some of the parts



Pulled the door pannel off and got started



Window and tracks are out



Starting to pull the wiring out





Wiring's out, now its time to do something about all that nasty glue



After about an hour of scraping at the glue with a steel brush, and WD40 I got it all off. Im super happy with the way it turned out, it looks way cleaner.



New assembly is in. Took the tint off the window too since none of the other ones are tinted. haha



Wanted to install my new filter next. I got a sweet Fujita to replace the cheap broken no name one that was on there. lol




But...It didnt fit. I'll pick up a new MAF adapter plate monday with the right size inlet



Then I threw my awesome new front lip on. I took this off a shop car at school they were gunna cut up. It was an 80's Buick Somer Set. hahaha.




It actually fits really good, I just wish I didnt saw off the sides so much.



Then I went out and washed the car since it was super dirty from sitting in a dirt parking lot, in the rain forever.




Open diff FTL it took some convincing to get the car out of the garage with out tearing off my awesome front lip



Then it was time to start on the passengers side.



Got bored and threw the new seat belt in



I got the window, and tracks out, as I was trying to get the wiring out, I realized I couldnt unplug it and pull it out like I did on the drivers side. So after some thought I pulled the dash out. haha





I figured since the dash was out might as well start pulling out the rest of the a/c and heater components. I took out like 3 or 4 of the air ducts.



How it sits now. I'll atempt to finish it up tomorrow.



Glad to be back on the blog, sorry for not updating in a while (like anyone reads this) But I'll try to be posting more often now that I have a car to work on. haha
