I never thought this day would come. I honestly never wanted it too but because of the good heart in me I couldn't let a friends unfinished project go to waste. If it was a POS yet I would have let it go but this one was special 
Run down of the car when I was first introduced to it:
1990 Hot Red(526) Fastback
49,000 ORIGINAL Miles
Auto Theft Recovery
Auto to Manual Conversion
DOHC Body Harness Partially installed
Took be 2hrs to get enough of the car back together to be towed to a friends house where it sat for the next month and a half getting running. Mind you I only got to work on this car on Sundays due to our work schedules. All in total I had about 8-9days into this thing before I finally got to bring it home.
Before I was able to even tow it I need to assemble the following:
- Drop the Motor & Trans in place and zip tie all wires so they don't fall during the tow
- Bring my own and assemble the Suspension Front & Rear
- Bring my own and assemble the Brakes Front & Partial Rear
- Bring my own and install Wheels
- Throw all the extra parts and shove them into the car
- Assemble the body back together: Front Bumper, Fenders, Hood, Doors, Hatch & Rear Bumper
After the 2hrs of rushing to get the car together I was off following my new project being towed home.
finally got it to my friends house 30miles later where it would sit for the next month and a half or so.
This is where major work began to take place. I didn't want to take pictures because it wasn't my house and his garage has alot of stuff if you know what I mean so it wasn't my style to advertise what was in the background. But from that point on every Sunday I had off was dedicated to get this car running and to my house where it would sit until my Gold Zenki was completely sold and taken for.
Before I was able to drive it home yesterday I had to due the following
- Clear out the interior of the car
- Run & Label the Body Harness
- Install a Diff & Driveshaft
- Redo the Rear Suspension
- Change the Rear Wheel Bearings because they came apart
- Wire up the Motor & Trans
- Run all the Wires in the Engine Bay
- Change & Run ALL New Fuel Lines
- Install a Gas Tank
- Tighten ALL Loose bolts under the car
- trouble Shoot no start
And Finally after all of that I was driving her home.
And here she is.
My Darkside Project, Everything my Beloved Zenki wasn't
- S13
- Fastback
- Has a VLSD
- 5-Lug
- Bucket Seats
- Gutted Interior
It's gonna be fun...
