So it began!

[IronMonkey]

After getting the engine hoist from Jon. I got to work today. With a help of a friend, I started to take the rb20 out of the coupe. Started around 6pm and done by 8pm. Would have been done a lot sooner if I didnt forget to take off the downpipe. Being lazy, I left it in there, "hoping" it would clear. Engine will be going into the convertible tomorrow. Will still need to x member ,clean up the engine bay, and install 5 speed parts as well. Will be starting early tomorrow, so hopefully Ill get more done. Well, for the pics.

Good luck man, should be a fun car when youre done with it.

[Frosty_DUB]

I might need a 5 lug swap in a few months. :O :D

[IronMonkey]

The things that I listed sold are already sold. Sold the 5 lug stuff in about 3 hours of listing that crap. well, its 2:30 right now, and Im off to work on the car :)

[IronMonkey]

Havent gotten the chance to work on the s13 in about two weeks because of school, work, and procrastination; but today seems like a good day to do it.

Took about 40 min and she was in. I just need to hook up driveshaft, connect wiring, and all the miscellaneous stuff. Hopefully Ill get to do it all this Sunday.

Didnt have any help, so I couldnt get any pics. Will get some later on.

[jononioo]

Locke swipe FTW? :D

guy at Augusta Custom (fucked up wiring/installs)

Haha, big surprise... :rolleyes:

[jononioo]

No, I'm John
No, I'm jon!

[IronMonkey]

Beautiful sunny day. Too bad I had to work and then head down to Atl. So there was no progress for today. This is why I never get any of my cars done!!

I read about your mishap with Augusta Customs before, I know they suck, but I didnt really mind the fucked up install or wirings as I got the motor for cheap and compression test came up good. Sold a bunch of stuff from that car to recoope some of the money.

[NeverFollowAudi]

good luck man. keep us updated!!!

I will check for more updates tomorrow.

[IronMonkey]

Got a lot of things done today. Hooked up wiring harness, installed driveshaft, swapped out ignition switch/lock and door locks, installed s14 seats, and mocked up front mount intercooler brackets.

Things need to do: mock up fmic piping, install pedals and exhaust system. Its going pretty smoothly with no setback so far :)

[jononioo]

we need pics!!!

[adam p]

I saw a black S13 vert driving today...guess it wasnt you

[IronMonkey]

Alrite....finally got done hooking up everything today. But encountered some technical difficulty. My lame wiring wont give any spark. Only power I got was fuel pump, some interior lights, and exterior lights. Will go over the wiring tomorrow and hopefully drive it!!

Excuse the messy engine bay. I normally love clean engine bay, but for this project, that is last on my list.

[Jess]

hellz yeah mang

[tryiian]

Business or pleasure? That is, are you selling it or keeping it?

[IronMonkey]

Im most likely keeping it. I will be selling my truck and use it as my daily driver. But if some body wants to buy it for the right price, then Im always for it.

[IronMonkey]

Damn it...finally got some time to work on it this morning. Woke up at 7 to work the bitch. GOT THE DAMN CAR TO START!!! HAHAHA feel so good.

[IronMonkey]

Some more updates....intalled new stock turbo, installed precision frount mount intercooler and custom intercooler piping. It runs pretty damn good now.

Also started working on the body as well.... installed new fender,trunk. Will need to fill in a couple of dents and start sanding away. Will go to paint booth shortly.

Pics will be up when I get home :)

[IronMonkey]

Here are the pics....free aluminum welding FTW!!!
