Long story short. Brought a one lady owner s13 only had 30k on it was mint so never really drifted much lucky. 11 years ago used it for 3 years joined fire service stopped using it. Got the bug for it again couple years back brought a redtop sr20det conversion for it started to fit it but was offered a one old lady owner s14a but needed welding.

Welded it up and did some small mods to it and enjoyed it for a year or so then came off the road again for winter because I had a big pile of parts to fit.

Then covid came in to play and changed all my plans i was hoping to go to some shows and drift events.
So the fronts needed some welding and some clearance modifications

I have a spare s15 sr20de engine in the garage I plan to fit it in the black s13 and keep it a simple build for once as the s14 is becoming over built for the original plan but hey why not im a sucker for a bargain ha.

So I now have enough jobs to keep me busy till I'm 75 but I'm gonna try and keep up to date with progress on here and my POOR attempt at youtube https://youtube.com/channel/UCMyypuS_DE-k4J9xUZ5PD9w

Cheers everyone and il try and better write up next time.
