somewere inbetween i had a s13 hatchback which i wanted to build but then i started to hate s13s so i parted it out and did this:

then the urethane bushings started to bind like crazy, i had absolutely ZERO suspension travel, the solid subframe bushings started to annoy me and my own motormounts were... WAAAAAAAY to hard and i removed it, swapped a completely stock subframe with stock rubberbushings in it, removed the ebay fmic and sold it, powdercoated the struttowerbar (no more green) and sold my bov because it annoyed me and i sold my blac wheels. and now my car is back to stock again :)
waiting for the new wheels and the replacment dampers for the kei office coilovers.

i also have a bunch of parts here but i will post them with updated pics of my car later this day or tomorrow

that car was basically stolen lol. it was standing at a nissan dealership for 6 years. it did not come with any registration papers or any other data. the dealership didnt knew about the car either. the only clue was a jon deere sticker on the windshield. you could never make that car streetlegal and it had some super nasty rust spots which weren't worth the fix. thats why i parted it out and got rid of it.
its better then getting impounded once i was done building it because i dont have paper for it.

ya but i wish it didn't, because to me the car seems strange now, it hard to explain. and right now it looks like a piece of junk, with that ride height, the weather and the spare tire mounted in the back.
but when it'll get warm it will look teh awesome again =D
