i havent post anything in a long time so i figured id show you guys what ive been up to. im doing this car for a good friend of mine. my job is to do all the body work and paint it. lucky me. i think im almost close to priming it for the last time. its going to be the factory red with the carbon fiber hood. it should be a pretty nice little car when its done. here are some spec on it.

i think its a 92 nissan 240sx. we got the conversion front end so that got rid of those ugly ass flip up head lights. the original motor was replaced with a rb20(i think thats the smaller of the 2 skyline motors). he just pulled apart the motor so he could put all new gaskets and cams in it. he also got a nice big turbo for it(dont know the size). when all said and done it should be around 400hp. check out the pics. ill have to see if he can send me some of the before pic. it was pretty rough.

did you mention to your friend that LS1's fit in those cars rather nicely? :)

yeah but he is really into the rb motors. i told him to go with a mildly modded ls1 but that was out of his price range. plus the rb was a direct bolt(with different motor mounts) and one of the easiest swap i have everdone.
