Almost Finished Interior.

Well, starting to wrap up the easy bit's.
Windows were removed.
Some D-max fibreglass door trims were offered to me.
After some searching, it seems in a heavy inpact, they break up into massive razor sharp peices and can cause alot of damage to arms and legs.....So i may remove these and replace with other items.



Re-assembly Of Rear End.

Cosmetic stuff at this stage.
Rear lights, garnish and bumper back on.
Glad it's starting to look like a car again.
Also got my Japanese numberplate happening.
Sourcing a numberplate mount atm.

Front Rims.

Going to fit some decent front tyres. So wanted reasonable fitting front rims.
17x9+30
I will be looking into some other type of rims later on, once im out on track for a decent period of time.



Engine Bay Finished.

Got a few coats on during the week.
Glad its done! :)

Engine Bay Progress

All the gaps between the welds were hit with some sikaflex to keep any moisture out.
Then i got a coat of primer on the engine bay.
I have some time over the next 3-5 days so im hoping to get it entirely painted.

Seating Arrangement

Got the tap needed to re-thread the seat mounting holes. They were a mess.
S14 seat's bolted straight into the s13 seat holes with no modifcation's at all.
Highly recommend this for your street s13/180 if your wanting a subtle yet supportive seat change without the expense of a bucket or GTR seat.
I will be looking into a pair of bucket seats in the future after the car is drifting.



Cage Bolted In

Cage finally installed!
Got the drill and drill bits that were needed. Took an hour or so.
Also showing some love for http://www.engineeredtoslide.com/
Head on over and check out Nigel's latest update.

Cage Bolt's....Time For Install!

After some measuring and such, I got to ordering these from a mate of mine. 304 Stainless bolts, washers, spring washers and nylock nut's.
Very much looking forward to the cage install. =D

Boot Quick Fix

I am going to get the entire car sprayed at a later date, but for now i wanted the boot to look alittle better than it did. Gave it a sand back and prime, then hit it with some red.
Also tryed this wing to see what it look's like....i'm still undecided.
