I didn't mean to offend mate. I just see a lot of young blokes with big ideas on being different never getting more than part way into a project before giving up. Just wanted to make sure what you wanted wasn't going to crush you. Since you definitely are skilled enough and have been around cars enough to know the deal, I say go for your life.

My advice. Sit down, and write a list of everything you'll need to do, and what the cost for each thing. Write another list of the skill you have in doing any of what's required. Then write a total of everything up and decide if you still want to be different.

I know it may sound harsh, but the reality is that if you do not posses the skill required to do something out of the ordinary then be prepared to have deep pockets. If you do have the required skill and know how than yay for you :) I still recommend the re-evaluation of the just to be different philosophy.

If you want a decent car that runs and is legal, than mods like the sr20, or ca18, are mods you can do a majority of yourself, and there are many write ups on how too.

come'on.. serious? looks as tacky as those ricey Alteza lights everyone was running around with on every import a few years back.. Next thing I know they'll be bringing back neons everywhere again..

That would be it, besides that the guy was in massive financial trouble I believe. It's why coddling ton wheels was sold. I believe he was bankrupt, and the business was under his sons name. Whichever way Dwayne, now owns what's left and it's still in the same spot, called American hot rod. Shows over though.

As the topic suggests, I want to buy a set of NOS, or good reps rear quarter window rubbers for my 1973 1200 sedan. I'm willing to pay for postage etc.

Anyone have a set, that they may be willing to part with or know of someone who will?

Ben

don't tell me that.. I don't want to run around with brand new rubber else where and those #OOPS#ty seals left in place.

Maybe someone can help. I'm going to re-rubber the whole sedan when she's painted.
Need to track down where you can get the rear quarter window rubbers for the sedan.

Plan on brakes.. unsure at the moment. I current have a set of Coupe discs, but am thinking stanza fronts to keep running 13s, but the s13 brake conversion also interests me, but that means 15s.

Hey Guys and Gals,

I thought I'd finally kick off the build thread. I bought this shell of my brother in law, he was putting an L20B 5 speed combo in it, but for whatever reason had lost interest and needed some cash. Over the past year with some various wheeling and dealing and with selling the L20B and 5 speed, I've managed to pick up an A15(that needs rebuilding) twin Dellortos and a T50 5 speed, that I wish to use, as well as a H165 rear end.

My issue lies a lot in the body work, as my brother in law had cut the original auto tunnel out, and the car had a few dings and rust pieces that needed to be fixed. Based on the information I've gathered on here, I've had the original tunnel welded back in(was cheaper than building a new one), replacing the passenger side sill and other various metal work besides. I now have a rust free shell, that needs painting(any volunteers?). But that's for a bit later on when I get some more cash I think, till then she's going to sit garaged in storage(after a bit of painting to ensure the work that has been done wont get fluffed up by sitting for a tad).

So here's some of the before pictures.










Some of pictures of the welding done.
















And some completed and sealed metal.

If I called you a bastard, I don't think that even covers how I feel right now.. lol
