Budget S13 Drift car build
Well i should of got on here ages ago and started this so keep with me as i add bits over this week to where i am today!
I bought my S13 as a non runner off ebay for £500. Suspected cam belt gone. Other than a few pictures i didn`t no too much and took a risk on it.
This was me collecting her!

While the engine was out i started to paint out the inside with hamarite:
Once i had started i didnt like the high gloss finish, so decided to paint the worst bits and get a covering on her then i will spray it satin black.

So this is where i am at now.
Finished the above yesterday, new clips coming to put all the wiring back into place.
New head sourced so just waiting to collect it. Now sourcing gaskets, cam belt and head bolts. Once i have all the parts engine can go back together and back into the car.
while i wait for these the block will get a freshen up and might even paint the engine bay.

Little update today. I have finally sourced a head which is ready to bolt back on, will collect this next week.
Also sourced a body kit for the car so now need to sell my pre face lift pig nose bumper and the rear!
Seems to be coming along, now need gaskets, plugs, belts, head bolts and fluids! Wow my list never ends!!!

Can't tell the difference
Nice one, are you going to rebuild the engine? May as well throw some new bearings and rings in there while it's out. Also tuck the loom while the wings are off, saves trouble if you lower it a lot.
