I will try and post some pics of the car. It is currently on the Car-O-Liner machine which will pull it straight. The front end is crushed. Looking for a place to host my pictures first.

Some info on the car and repair.

This vehicle was damaged at very high speed so it was bent hard. I would not usually take on a project like this but these cars are worth it.

I also have the resources to do the job properly. I have stripped the car completely. I need to know there are no other damages and to prevent rattles and loose parts. When im done it will be sick.

Before the car was damaged it was running a CA18 turbo motor, which I will replace with a SR20DET. I am a big fan of that motor. I run it in my Mazda Etude, I will post a pic of that project which is now completed. The 200SX has a two way limited slip diff from the states and Koni adjustable suspension. Upgraded fuel pump and regulators.

So the base is very good. I will explain the build as we go along. It should take 3 weeks with the paint.

That was Mike Eagans car from Thundersport in DBN. I love the interior.

What are you keeping from when Mike owned it??

Fly200 · Post by **Fly200** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 5:14 pm

I am keeping the 2 way LSD Diff. The suspension and the interior. There are lots of small things done as well. The only thing I am changing is the engine. I like the SR20.
