Dont know what else to say besides some one should sponsor the build so its finished before november matsurihaha
look forward to talking, hanging and doing skids with you guys.
i will also be putting photos up shortly
And here it is. The day I got it, a bare shell
I couldn't wait to get to work. But being unemployed at the time. There wasn't much I could do with the little money I had.
Got my shit together and got a job purely for the car.
I started on the removal of the sound sound deadening. Going with a chisel and hammer. It was a slow, shit progress
After removing all the sound deadening and it being ready for stitch welds.
I started on the engine bay where some mates gave me a hand. Tore the car down to nothing but a shell. And a grinder and wire wheel were ourbest friends.
Building a car on dirt with limited equipment is hard and I do no recommend it. Shit falls.
Moving on from the set backs but I was happy with the cars progress with spending very little money (under $50 so far)
Even mum gave me a hand, good wench.
I found a car who saw my passion and stitch welded the engine bay and interior for a box of pizza!
I started painting doing what ever I can on it whilst still looking for a job. Selling everything I could.
But eventually I got a job at a burger shop and the goodies started building
Genuine vertex kit
And my wheels collection were also growing.
I hand polished up those rank meshies from the above photo and pleased how they turned out.
Moving on from appearance for now.
i got a call from my old job in the import/export/customs industry asking if i would come back with a pay rise..
i couldnt refuse so now i have some decent money to through at the car, i got my running gear sorted.
Here's my motor set up.
Na sr20 with quad throttle bodies.

Very nice build you having found yourself in
Those rims look Minto from that angle.
When did the engine last run?
Keep up with the updates!
Thanks mate.
It's hasn't run in about a month so it's not to bad. It should hopefully be running again I'm the coming weeks.
I got a direct bolt in kit of the guy that runs the Facebook page "ke conversions"
Great kit, easy to work with and had no dramas. Highly recommend it.
Got the motor in in minutes and sat in a good position.
It goes off to get wired next week by the guru 'Mocco' along with under car surge tank made up.
Im getting very excited for Wakefield matsuri.
Test fitted the size wheels I'm getting (15x9-0)
And with my 30mm wide body it should sit fairly nicely.
Still can't decide what colour to paint the bloody thing
If the car wasn't going to be on the street I would be going purple with a glitter through it, hell crazy styled.
But it will be street driven so going to have to go under the radar a little bit.
sparkles! <3 do something small in sparkles like the wing or interior (assuming youre going stripped haha.) good stuff but man, when do you think it will be finished?
