Anyone else have other projects going?
When I'm not working on the Celica, I'm working on an 89 Nissan Sentra Sport Coupe. Picked her up for $500. She runs like new but needs some help in the power department. I decided to work on the exterior first because I didn't like the way she looked in white. Here's my progress so far - How I bought her - ![]() After a coat of black - ![]() Present day - ![]() My next steps are to build a decent hood scoop, do all the usuals to the engine, upgrade the suspension (it sucks), get bigger wheels and wider tires and work on the interior to get rid of the horrible "table cloth" looking design they used on the seats, doors and various areas. got any photos of your projects? |

THis is my s14 that ive been working on for about a full year now. Picked it up from a great friend of mine (actually a great douchebag) who literally let this car sit in a parking for about 3 years. Umm, about the pics, this is all i have, considering i am bad at remembering to take pics of the progres as i went along, and what all i have are some cell phone camera pics of the engine going in, and after install.
Anywho, after buying the car, i knew it needed some work done such as the engine wiring needed to be re-wired, replacement of suspension componets and all. There was a list i wrote up, but all in all it was a good car. My plans for it, are pretty simple. Just a nice street machine that puts down decent power, and can hold its own for the local auto-x in town, and maybe some track days. The engine is an sr20 blacktop, and the only work ive been able to get done on it, is the engine swap itself, wiring the ECU to the car, and replace the springs/struts with tein dampners, and replace some worn bushings. Future progress involves rust-proofing the underbody, getting the car started, adn finishing up the suspension work i have to do... I wanted it all done by end of this summer, but right now, im still stationed over in korea, AND, i am PCS'n over back to okinawa end of this year, so this poor car is sitting in storage...oh wells.. ![]() ![]()
