Here's some pictures of the project so far.

A lot of you have probably seen or heard of this from other forums.

I decided I wanted a real project about a year ago and bought the S13 coupe you see here. IMHO the only better looking S-chassis than the Coupe S13 is the S15.

Hurricane Frances killed my '95 325is, so I bought a workhorse Previa van and decided to really finish the S13. About the only thing I had done in the garage here at my apartment was strip the car to a shell with windows.

If you can't tell from the hood pictures, I'm doing a S14 Kouki front on the car. The S14 Kouki front end just flows so much better with the sharp angular S13 coupe than it does on the rounded S14 body, and most people I know agree that as a whole package, the Zenki flows better.

So anyway, I'm not gonna caption each picture, but basically what we have here is as follows, in approximate order:

1989 S13 coupe, 90% straight body, rust mostly near battery tray. The shell now weighs about 300lbs with windows still, all insulating material removed.

My car being taken to the shop where I'm making the cage and seam-welding it all.

MA70 Toyota Supra Turbo towing 2 axle trailer .

Motor-mounts in mockup and final product, (yes the stanchions are based on 240sx LCA's, S13 specifically).

S13 front x-member with original mount pads removed and custom 2 piece motor-mounts.

S15 rear subframe with Z32 uprights and spring/shocks.

Z33 transmission (39inches/100cm long!!!) This bugger is gonna require some transmission tunnel mods.

1997 Q45 VH41DE.

Test fitting in a S14 Silvia front clip.

Inconel headers from a JUDD V8 with v-band collectors (I'm still entertaining the idea of a single turbo) Car is using these headers either way though.
