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.

Looking forward to reading your posts! I'd recommend you upload your pics to photobucket or flickr.

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.

What are you keeping from when Mike owned it??
Posted: 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.
