I missed my car from being stored away so...

I brought it over to my house and put it on stands and let the work begin... You guys may have missed this earlier on but I hit something that was kicked up by a big rig back in may and it ripped my front end off of the car and I just left it on the freeway. Fast forward to October 10th of 2008 So this weekend I took my s14 back to my house to tear off all of the aero and test fit the vertex stuff so I can determine how much mounting tape and new screws and bolts I need. As you can see below I had a friend on my car for quite some time, I really didn't give it a name but it was definitely a male as females are a lot larger. Regardless it got fucked up..... I was on a roll getting most of it off, Man this car was slammed in it's previous life, the frame rails on the bottom of the car are all scraped up and the jacking points are all fucked up as if someone hammered them flat. Or the car did a lot of off tracking, if it has ever even seen a track in it's life.

So since it wasn't running and decided to abandon my goals of going KA-T completely and pick up an sr20det that was on sale for 2500 with a couple of goodies.  I also purchased a zenki crash bar so now my bumper will be supported.  In the previous post about putting in a new roof I mentioned how I obtained the parts to do a new roof install on my car. At the same time the car itself was not running properly. I didn't really have the time to tear it down and do a diagnosis because my garage was occupied with my roommates bmw. Once his bmw is out of the garage, I'll go ahead and take my car to my house and begin it's teardown! so stay tuned.
