May 19, 200917 yr comment_345912 A few weeks ago i made a judgement error and put my car into a gutter pushing the crossmember back and bending the chassis rail where it bolts up. So its time to start over. I purchased a rolling shell off Andrew and got it towed home today at lunchtime. The plan is to do a reshell Car: 75 KE35 Deluxe Coupe Motor & Driveline: S14 SR20DE w/ VCT, S14 gearbox, GT28RS .86 rear, Standard det exhaust manifold, custom dump pipe, 3" exhaust, 450x300x76 fmic. Fuel System: 555cc nismo injectors, 100lph lift pump, surge tank, 2xVLTurbo fuel pumps in parallel Cooling System: Standard radiator w/ thermo fan Suspension & Brakes: Front: JDM Sprinter struts, discs, callipers, MR2 short stroke rear shocks, HSD Coilover sleeve kit 5kg, xt130 LCAs, RA40 tie-rods, Rear: reset leafs, Suzuki sierra short strokes Wheels & Tyres: front: 15x7 watannabe's. Rear: 15x7 ssr reverse mesh Interior: few gauges, speco meter tacho modified into cluster Body: few dings here and there Other: haltech E6X, haltech EBC, CIG locker Car needs a good wash so I'm lucky its rainings now makes my job easier. Still need to pickup some guards without rust Few bits n peices up back that need small TLC SR20 will look right at home once the bay has a new coat of paint. Will post up when i get some more work done. - Swapping the pedal boxes to run a hydraulic setup - Brake and clutch master - Brake line for ke55 master - Extra fuel line for the return - Engine, gearbox and crossmember - ae86 jdm struts, callipers and sigma LCAs - Cut the transmission tunnel for the shifter - Swap the jap diff for a BW - Make up a gearbox xmember - rewire the haltech *Remount the FMIC so the grill fits on *Spray the FMIC black *Get some xt130 LCAs *Raise the car by 1-2 inches *Wire up my indicators so i can actually drive around. *Make up a Gearbox tunnel to stop the heat getting in the car. *Gear stick boot. Later down the line *New front rotors, bearings and some .. pads (having a mind blank about the pads i use) *Reco the Radiator and move the inlet and outlet for easier routing, fit Coolant temp sensor and water temp sensor into the top radiator tank. *Install my watertemp, oiltemp and oilpressure gauges properly into the dash. *Fit a diff out of something so i can jump on it and not snap axels -George Edited December 22, 201015 yr by furryfrog Report
May 19, 200917 yr Author comment_345934 Yeh pretty much, the angle i hit wasnt good enough to bounce off and something had to give. I was praying it was gonna be a control arm or strut but no dice. This shell is much cleaner rust wise, I'm not too fussed as i was planning on reshelling anyway. Report

November 12, 200916 yr Author comment_390683 wanna send me the rear quarter off the f@$ked one? hehe The rear quarters are f@$ked on the f@$ked one :S Ive been away for a while, wasnt employed for a few months and just tinkering with motorbikes. Ive got a job again so the 35 is getting some TLC. Still needs a sand, and some more paint, the rest of the car is staying mustard. I'm working at nights, as long as the weather is good i can do the car. Report

November 25, 200916 yr Author comment_393477 Just a quick update, Spent this week - Swapping the pedal boxes to run a hydraulic setup - Brake and clutch master - Brake line for ke55 master - Extra fuel line for the return - Engine, gearbox and crossmember - ae86 jdm struts, callipers and sigma LCAs - Cut the transmission tunnel for the shifter That's all i can think of at the moment. Still need to - Swap the jap diff for a BW - Make up a gearbox xmember - rewire the haltech Few pics, really need to stop using my phone camera is sucks. one man brake master bleed Engine in its final resting place Transmission tunnel cut, ended up flipping the shifter to avoid cutting or relocating the handbrake.

December 8, 200916 yr Author comment_396664 Wow i always manage to get side tracked. Ive been planning a trip in late jan to La, Mexico then heading to Spain and the rest of europe, didnt realise how much time that takes up. Got all the suspension swapped over and everything stripped out of the old shell ready for the tow truck to scrap it. Have to run the stock wheels till i mod the new guards also wired up the engine enough to get the car running, forgot how i had all the extras wired in so that will have to wait till i plug the lappy in. Still need to get the wiring tied up and in some conduit Report
December 10, 200916 yr Author comment_397090 Put the battery box in, need to get a bit of rod and flatbar to hold the battery inplace and i put the fuel setup in just need to trim the wiring and get some more fuel hose. Hoping for a good day of work tomorrow. Report
