yep clean engine bay and decent interior....
ok for 850 bucks....... :thumbsup

 

thanks every one.....started working on it today

Pic's of update

Ok like I said, started working on the car. Got a lot done for the day and I am proud of myself. Oh and after looking around closer in the engine bay and under it, I think somebody changed the engine and tranny on this car, or just did a hell of a job on maintenance.

suspension off, having a problem with these 2 bolts. Tried it with a hammer but didn't budge....any ideas? :12dunno :crazyrant



Well, thanks for looking. Tomorrow I will try to get these two bolts off and clean some of that dirt/grease off in the morning. :dancingna

 

cool...
nice to see some progress.... keep it up....

 

great job man.doin it right the first time is the key

 

nice, cant wait to see more on it!

 

2nd day work....

Thanks for the support....I will def. need it b/c this is going to be a long project. :supercool

Well I was at it again today but not that much.....to damn hot.

But here we go....

Started cleaning some of the break parts with purple power (not bad stuff)

Taking off tension rod brackets and front stabalizer

Dirty tension rod bracket

After purple power was applied

And then painted it with Flat Black Paint (i think it came out super clean after the Flat Black was applied)

Found my second problem, not that bad of front damage easy fixable but got to get the engine out first and everything else in the engine bay to straighten it out

Other side of the bumper support bracket looks good

bumper support bracket off

another shot of the front after the bumper bracket was taken off

Also, unhooked some of the wiring harness on the engine, I don't know if I will work on it in the morning or not :12dunno

STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM AHHHHHH :crazyrant

Still cant get these two bolts out.....:crazyrant

Any ideas on these two bolts? Thanks in advance

 

No one responded to that? Please don't hit the ball joints with a hammer!

Go to Autozone or Harborfreight and get something like a 3 jaw puller or ball joint puller or whatever you call the tool -- (I think if you have an air compressor you can also use some sort of fork with an air chisel, but that's beyond me. I think you can potentially damage the protective seal that goes around the joint?)

Something like this will probably separate those joints, but I could be wrong. However, I can tell you that you're going to damage the threads if you keep pounding on them.

Anyway, enough rambling -- a place like Autozone will rent you the specific tool you need for that job for very little.

 

put something soft over it like a tshirt and hit that bitch with a hammer
or use a rubber mallet

 

Don't effing hit it! That's so freaking stupid I can't believe it. You'll damage the threads.

edit: [...] But seeing as you've damaged the seals -- you'll probably just need to put new ball joints in there anyway. Do what you must, but don't tell me. haha

 

Thanks for the replies.

The protective seal is already damaged on the right hand side (thanks to me). I will go to Autozone this weekend and try to get the tool, if the tool don't work them I will have to follow 240fly advice. I worked on it today (mostly on the engine and exhaust). Pics later on tonight.


By the way 240fly your car is sexy.....where did you get the rims from? And what size are they? 700 is a nice ass deal for them.

 

what a tear down good job sor far keep it up

 

August 3rd Update

I actually got up this morning and worked on the car.....Still to damn hot......

But here we go...

Started working on the radiator

Removing the hoses

How she looked by the end of the day


In case you are wondering what the white thing is..................

Its my new invention :thumbsup..............All i need is a patent now :heyhey



Got a lot of work ahead of me this weekend......stay tuned

 

:thumbsupKeep it up.....:thumbsup

 

pimp as hell for 800 bucks, wish i found one like that.

kouki front now!

 

^^^^Thanks dude

I bought it at a salvage auction. I almost got it for 425 (without auction fees) but right at the last second somebody raised the price :crazyrant and it went up to 650+plus auction cost=totaled to 820. So i was pretty happy with the price. I love working on the car....Nissan did a hell of a job on the car :thumbsup. But anyways its getting late gotta wake up early and work on it. Expect a lot of pics this weekend.

If anybody knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody (well you catch my drift) that needs any parts that I am not in need. The whole engine and tranny will be for sale. I'll sell it for cheap. I live in NC so let me know I will def. need the extra cash for parts. Night Folks!!!:supercool

P.S: Darkless & s14240sxsilvia......thanks for the support.

 

Hmm, not the first accident it's been in, lots of overspray. Nice tear down so far.

 

Yea we believe its not the first accident that it had, might have had another fender bender b/c under the car looks really good and i dont see anywhere else where its bent up or anything.

But i worked on it yesterday and today, got a lot done yesterday but today i broke one of brake metal lines......so after that i didnt work on it anymore but will have pics up later...i think i will let it rest until thursday. Its really close to getting the engine and tranny out so hopefully by next friday it will be out.

About the seals i will probably not try to take them out yet, we are suppose to build a garage so i need to be able to move it but that right hand ball joint i will have to replace but thats for later not worried about it yet. Alch i'll tell everyone except you next time hahaha jk but thanks for the support everyone



Later

 

that is one clean interior..and plus..your radio bazel isn't busted like mine.

and damn..you got a SE for 850...shit...awesometown stuff

looks good so far. keep it up.

 

heh thats a lot of work. curious though, why did you paint a arms? i mean... whats the point of even keeping those A arms when you can spend 140 and get a nismo power brace???

 

Yea i probably will down the future but for right now money is going to be short, i go to school full time so i have to pay for that first. But I am still making a list of parts that i want to get.

And sorry that i havent put up pics yet....been to lazy but tonight (after 10est.) there will def be more pics.


Later

 

Ok well here are pics as promise....sorry it took so long...

Well thanks for looking.


Later

 

wow...
its coming along nicely...

 

nice.are you having any problems with the salvaged title. i found an s13 with a lean against the title and was very wary of buying it as a another car but great build keep it coming

 

I havent even touched the title yet or went to the DMV. We have bought couple of salvaged cars from the auction that we bought this one and never had any problems, and thanks for the support.

Wow your an animal.

LOL, thanks Shwag, i looked at your car loved the front end conversion. I would keep that car

Looks good man, wish I picked my car up for 820. Keep up the good work.

I got lucky not a lot of front end damage so thats good, thanks for the support.


Well we are building a 2 car garage so the project will be sitting there for a bit until the garage is built. I gotta put my suspension back on so i can move the car around b/c its in the way right now. But thanks everyone for all the support, Darkless this includes you too. Later everyone.

 

Wow your an animal.

 

+111!

 

Looks good man, wish I picked my car up for 820. Keep up the good work.
