To start with


Car switch

The block on the 180sx seems to be warped and with Japan trip coming up rebuilding the motor can not financially happen. So the decision was made and the car switch began. I hire a local shed to use for storage so the 180 was winched onto my trailor and sent down there to be swapped with the crashed S15. A few hours later the S15 was stripped of everything and the reall work began. Ill get some photos tonight, ive ordered the tube i need to do a full tube frame front end so it should be a cool little budget practice car.

Project brief.

Full weight S15
Tube frame front end
Alloy radiator and intercooler
My custom knuckles, LCA, Tie Rods and Caster Arms
2 Bride Buckets
2 way diff
Coilovers
Home made half cage

The previose owners miss fortune

Progression

I have a very progressive mentality, i move on quickly and always know what the next step is. Problem is the next step for me gets complicated and very expensive, how do i satisfy my hunger for progression? Its usually by building another car and doing it better than the last, that cant be done withought selling something i dont want to. Life has hurdles for reasons, some are easy to jump over and some seem impossible, im going to slow down for a while, get my breath and take a huge run up at it.

If anyone reading this likes my 180sx so much so that they want it, it may be availiable as a rolling shell in the near future, suspension will remain unaltered from how i drive it.
