This Build up is more like a story of struggle, hardship, blood, sweet, joy, and alot of Camel Filters.

First it started as a dream.


I traded this beauty for my Mitsubishi Mitty max, thinking i would like to have a car better. (bad idea)

1983 Toyota Celica GT R22 5speed

Little did i know that car would be the savior of my life and that parking spot will become a legendary place.

The week i got back from vacation, I picked up my new s13 shell.
This is what i got for $150

The Duel cam you see in the pic came with the car but it was in the trunk/hatch/backseat it was blown to shit and the valve cover was missing alot with other random shit but its okay cus that tranny is still really good and comes with a short shifter. Ftw.

And thats when i went to go pick up this........
Single cam everyday all day....
I traded this motor for an Uncut Little Ceasers pizza, it came out to $5.41

Okay so if you noticed the place the celica was parked is the same place the s13 is now and also if you notice i dont have the celica anymore because i sold that shit to buy parts for my new car i sold it for $400 thanks to craigslist

and in that same place i droped the single cam in

Those headers cost me $10 i got lucky the radiator cam with the car and the red fender that you will see in the next pics cost me $60 for both.
$30 for a hood and some taillights


So so far i have spend a lil more then $281.41

and this is what i had at that point.

Then after some fluids $20, about 5 trips to the junk yard $40 we got that bitch started another $40.

then the sexiest part of my car came into play

Way to go man! I to am a low budget builder. Keep up the good work and be sure to keep us updated. If you need an auto ECU, MAFS, or any random ass small interior parts, let me know and I might have them.
