H e r e i t i sAh today is that day... the day where everything starts shaping. Cutting the talk though today i'll be able to get back my two precious gems, the S and 32. Before that though i need some parts for the S, like engine and temporary wheels so i don't ride on this bold 90's tires and die. I was driving down the road to a nearbyish junkyard to take a look for the parts for cheap. I was passing cars here and there until i saw a abondoned 33 parked next to tofu shop. It was everything i wanted in one car. I decided to pull to the shop and ask the owner about it and maybe talk him to selling me either the car or the parts. So i went in to see an older guy waiting for his customers. I walked to him and asked if he's the owner of that car *pointing the 33 behind the window*. The guy laughed and said yes he is but he wants to scrap it since it's too broken for him to fix it and too expensive to get to the shop. It has warped frame, a lot of rust barely even holding together. I've asked him if maybe he'll let me take a look and salvage some parts.  He agreed so i went back to my rented Nissan NP300 Frontier to get the tools. Once i picked everything i started taking a look and disassembling. First I decided to get the engine out so i unplugged "everything" (of course not everything cause that's how it be) and then i realized i don't have engine crane with me.  I was like "ah $hit, here we go again", so i went to nearby shop and borrowed engine hoist. I pulled the engine with the trans out and i put it in the back of the truck.  Engine was looking alright, it had rusted trumpets but they would go anyway so i didn't really care. It had no crank guarantee but i might as well get it anyway.  Then we put the car in the air and i started taking the wheels off. Started is a good word cause the lug nuts were glued to the wheel, but i got it with blowtorch. I got all of the 4 wheels off, the back ones were dented here and there but they weren't leaking air. I also pulled front brake assembly. For the engine and suspension I payed V$750 which is a steal but no guaranteed to work or such.  Now the 32 timeSince i sold the enkei's as they were expensive af and i don't wanna ruin the holy grail of meshed wheels i bought some no name gold meshes. Now when 32 was back from paint i threw them on with some continental bois and took it for a drive. Ah it looks sooo good with new paint i'm drooling. It's a darker red with some little flake but now i think the car looks way better. Blue just didn't suit it, now it has that perfect 90's vibe. It'll be a shame to destroy it drifting eventually, but oh well i'll just send it anyway. That's why i bought it for.  The wheels look soooooo dope with that paint i'm loving it!!!  And the flake makes me wanna stare at it for hours straight.  (Also yea i got ticket for driving with no license plates and unregistered car, they didn't tow my car though lucky enough) Last but not least S timeSince y'all already know what engine it's getting but you don't know the color yet. HERE IT IS!!!  It's woooowww way better than i would imagine, i picked the correct color and i'm happy. I used the mounting kit i got and the rb sits mint, the 33 wheels suit it for now.  I'll be selling the twin turbo setup though that means, inter, turbskies, plenum and headers, hmu if you're interested.  Got the new wheels in place and brakes not tested yet, but boy it looks dope.  I love how this car turned out so far you can't even see that it ever was such a $hit bot like it was. I'm proud of my work  It just looks so good and i didn't even get the bodykit yet still waiting.
