2010 Eugene's 240sx Drift Car build ( everlast welder )

[Eugene]

Here is my new 2010 S13 sr20 build.

Well, I got some extra time I will be spending at home, so I decided to get a new shell and start over. My old shell was great but there is things I want to do different on the new one. Here is some pictures of my start:


here we go

[Eugene]

stitch welding

[Eugene]

Ran out of gas so i started to prepping rest of the car

[Eugene]

removed factory seat brackets



damn a lot more to go

Rear arches before and after



waiting for some gas so I can weld em.

This took longer then TIG welding

[Eugene]

GOT TUBS???






Here is update form today......

Frame plugs



some gussets

[Eugene]

Changed the shape of that gusset so now the p/s reservoir will go right in there and yes custom one will be cool.



plus closed all the extra holes and some gussets on the frame rails to firewall



Ok on wed I prepped the engine bay and got the primer

[Eugene]

Power brace

[Eugene]

ready for paint





Ok so I have moved and had to deal with a lot of ####!!! After I got done setting up the garage I finally got some work done............




Thanks to DDS (Kyle) for couple of bends...



Action shoot

and here is my finished cage







New steering column brackets welded to the cage

[Eugene]

So I got to do a lot of little ####............. thats why I haven't posted any pics for a while. Today I got overfenders and body kit pre-fitted now time to strip it all down and start with the painting.



D-max front fenders



D-max rear overfenders

[Eugene]

Rims





Did some work today: welded aluminum air duck for my intercooler (also the air duck holds my front bumper) , made a front bash bar and mounted oil cooler.

[Eugene]

The bumper hangs right on top of that lip



Bash bar





Oil cooler







My lil helper



Here is some #### I've done today: pre fitted my pop up's , they will always stay up I think it looks sick.... on a hatch and got my rear brace with a spot to jack up the car...... since the car will be super low and jack wont slide under my bumper ( my old car was like that I always had a hard time lifting it during tire changing and the kit was not as low as this one )

[Eugene]

2 days ago I sanded the whole car and primered Engine bay, under the car inside and all the body parts....... waited a day and wet sanded the whole car again . Thanks to my Brother William for helping me....







Today I finally painted inside of the car its a very light Gray color










Outside will be next....

[Eugene]

I was thinking of not posting pics till the car is finished but I couldn't keep it to myself...... The color I picked is 2010 porsche GT3 and it's pretty wild........ ;D I got all the body put together also finished putting all the lexan windows and also got mirrors put on and subframe and the solid bushings........subframe was a pain in the ### i was under the car for an hour and my neck was killing me but I got it on :'(





My mini mirrors



Thanks to Ray for hooking me up with the wheel....

[Eugene]

subframe with solid bushings.....



Lexan windows





Top view of intercooler and oil cooler

[Eugene]

LCA's











Fuel Tank and Diff installed



And this weeks big buy

[Eugene]

Ok so I got my new Wheels and getting the stance right was a lot of work I think I put the car up and down Like 200 times but I finally got it how I want it to look....... ;D So the car is on its wheel now engine and wiring and I am ready to roll.......

[Eugene]

Got the engine in today



Here is the before and after pic's of my new custom fan shroud.

This is what i had on there before.



Here is the new one I built from aluminum. *I used same fan and had to cut it out and put it in new shroud.





Oil Cooler and oil filter relocated





Relocated power steering tank



Looking good I am so close to finish......

[Eugene]

OK Car is almost done did some more wiring and made my oil catch can....

still got to weld in connectors waiting for those





also since I had to cut the bumper a little to fit the new exhaust..... I made a frame to cover the cut fiberglass....





I been working on my dash tucking wires and making it all look neat.... RESULT:

[Eugene]

Its an original cluster. The front of it was cut out and glued to an aluminum plate that i cut out and wrapped in suede

[Eugene]

So on my old car when I am drifting and suspension going up and down front tire rubs off fiberglass fender... so maybe this will help



got aluminum plate traced and cut to fit perfect and then bent a little lip where tire will rub instead cutting into the fender. that will be protecting my nice D-max fenders lol I hope



Fits nice and tight



LOL same rims better offset....



egas Drift event just got home and I am so exited to see the action pics which will be ready on monday but for now here is some pics I took at pit area....









My little model ( my 11month daughter Alia ) love her so much...
