Well as some of you are aware last year i bought this :

All going well yes ?

Until July the 18th when this happened :

Long story short i got hit by a Mitsibishi Desiraer thing (4x4 people carrier with bullbars on)
Got the car picked up by my mate matt.
So got it off the trailor and had the great fun of trying to get it into the unit, Matt got a plan :

And after some modding of the car further :

It fitted :D :

Updates :D

In words -

Black one stripped and scrapped, if you look at the empty engine bay pic you can see the force of the impact bent the chassis rails :O

Suspension on the front of the red one, better condition boot swapped onto red one, engine pretty much in place on the red one.

Oh Tom, I'm so pleased you're back :) I'm no longer the mad painter on the site! In fairness that actually looks pretty good. Love the camo doorcards.....I first saw something like that on Dave Larkmans mental MX-5......did MazdaChris do yours too?

cheers for the compliments guys, it is getting there gradually, no longer running the defi's or the electronic boost controller, tried some other gauges and they give exactly the same readings at a fraction of the price ,

decided the rear end needed beter alignment so just before christmas spent out a few hundred on complete rear adjustable arms.

Should have my spare engine soon as well so i have a back up

Door cards were my own work yes, very easy to do , two days later I saw Dave's and cried a lil as i thought i was being original . can do any one else's as well if you like :D

Matt, your car inspired me to get an s13 so i apologise if it does ring a bell :P but mine may be lower soon :D

Paint scheme might be changing again soon, Need to do some repairs on body work then get rear bumper and sideskirts on . Then respraying it either the same, or bright pink instead of white.

Then the last edition looks wise will be a rocket bunny duck tail spoiler :D
