Can't have a shell without a new motor to throw in, picked up this bad boy from Chicago and immediately changed the oil cap.


It came with a trans but no bellhousing, after scouring eBay for a couple months I was able to get one from the UAE. Protip, don't ever buy something that size from a different continent...shipping sucks.
i did decide to pickup a new harness from WS, hoping to keep the bay at least a bit tidy.

Started piecing together a silvia front, because bricks are best.





What good is a sil-front without aero? Had to snag this 2002 Bomex kit from the homie when he offered it.


Sides/rear look pretty neat mocked up.

With all the exterior bits starting to get figured out, figured might as well pick up some pieces for the interior tune. Not sure which seat(s) I'm going to run, so far I have a Zeta II, Zeta III, and a pair of Vios I. (No photo of the Zeta II right now, but you know what it looks like.)


Couldn't resist the old bubble knob lifestyle.

Also, to continue with the old car theme, had to use my favorite wheel the MOMO Monte Carlo. Ended up getting a Greddy x MOMO one later one, but not sure which I want to run. Also the only acceptable horn button, G-Corp.

Saw a local deal for some sweet old gauges, picked them up an hour later.

Still deciding what coilovers I want to run, but I did manage to find a used pair of Heatmaker Hotside knuckles and some SPL RUCAs.


Then it all comes down to the wheels, probably going to run my Regamasters; but I've got Model 5s, Battles, R33 wheels, and RP03s as spares to throw into the mix. 215/40 on the 17x10 Model 5s required a bit of fire to fit...








Still have some other stuff that I'm either forgetting to post or don't have photos of, but I'm tired so that's it for today.
