As most of u know my story of parts being stolen off my car, its time to rebuild my car and bring it back from the dead haha. Luckily i have a good friend who has a garage with a lift so we basically do all the work we can to get the cars done.

my car use to be like this.

to this

i finally had time to start workin on it. And im getting it prepped for a roll cage.

this took countless hours of scrubbing with a brillo pad and simple green...

the only thing that keeps me wanting to finish this car!
My ka!!

Rebuilt with BC internals

i gotta a lot of work to do, but its just a matter of putting it back together when i get it back from the shop.

Now onto my buddy steves story haha.

We went to vir last year, stayed there for the weekend, drifted for a full day and a half, qualifying comes around, bang he somehow managed to crash pretty bad sending his car into a wall.

luckily we managed to get a shell for 300 bux from a good friend of ours. And we started work immediately. His build is farther then mine being he started a few months ago, he's sending the car for a cage tomo.

I will keep this updated as much as possible, i will have more progress as long as the parts come in. I shall have pics of both cars when all fabrication is done. Sorry for posting so many pictures of stripped 240's haha. Enjoy!

wow...do my 350z

Wiisass · 02-03-2008, 11:40 PM

Those rear toe rods are on upside down. You should fix it before you put the car on the ground.

Nope... toe rods.

Upper control arm is the "hoop" that the strut / coilover assembly goes through... toe rods are the long ones, traction rods the short ones, and the bottom "triangle" shaped piece that is still stock is the lower control arm.

eDmSiL80 · 02-04-2008, 02:01 AM

fuk ur right, i got confused looking at that picture.

ill let him know tomo

eDmSiL80 · 02-05-2008, 02:23 AM

eDmSiL80 · 02-11-2008, 01:42 AM

lil update

cage should be done within a week, next is take out the subframe, put suspension pieces, and paint bay/interior/cage.

just keep adding more and more bars

chromoly so i can drift on my roof

thro the firewall

enjoy!

Wiisass · 02-11-2008, 02:20 AM

Those a-pillar bars aren't legal for anything. They need to extend to the floor in one piece.

yellow2000S/R · 02-11-2008, 02:44 AM

Quality looks to be there!

I have never seen anybody notch tubing 1/2 way through like that before for the cross bracing, how often have others seen this?

eDmSiL80 · 02-11-2008, 02:53 AM
