just a little update.. been a while

Just picked it up from Gary's place where he and his ballie Allen sorted a few issues out and got it running sweet enough for me to move around and get more things done like exhaust... big thanks Gary and Co. Ive never seen so many s13's together.

Almost as soon as i got home i decided to strip the rear area out.. well 2hours later and i think me and my mate Brett got a little carried away.. but its all good. Actual body is in great nick underneath all heavy stuff, no rust other than where the previous owner whent off roading in it, but those little dings will soon be sorted.

We stripped so much of the weight out that even i feel lighter:) tomorrow night im gonna start attacking the sound proofing sticky sheets and start making plans for the roll cage layout.

Gary sourced me some 330 front and 280 rear rotors .. we just trying to find Calipers now, that can go over the 34mm rotor width.. hint hint..

And if anyone is wanting any of the stripped parts.. nows the time to place your orders.. Gary has dibbzd a few items already:) almost all the stuff is in near perfect condition, i nearly fealt bad tossing it out tonight.

Well it still is in fair nick appearance wise, besides a little cutting we did, but only to areas that are out of sight once in, under the consol area. i'll give the carpet a sniff and let you know.

The engine number is on the block at the gearbox side. Where the gearbox mounts too the engine.
