Parting out my Coupe


Its a bit backwards to be starting my blog this way. I purchased an s13 coupe to replace one that I had a few years ago and I ended up with a rusty Fred Flintstone mobile. I was more that willing to repair it until I removed all the sound deadening material and saw just how bad it really was.
Here she is the day I picked her up. Looks good for $270

My buddy Elmo for good measure.

Guy threw in crappy wheels. I think he just wanted them out of his garage. American Racing?

Rust!

So I ordered one of these. Guy from Nissan said its the last one in Nissan's inventory.
RARE!



Meanwhile I picked up this.

Said to have 60k on the clock. It came out of an s14.


Then I pulled the carpet and saw...




It just got worse from there. At some point you have to put a price on your time. So we did this.



Its sad to see her go. I had to face the fact that if I don't buy a 4door than it will just sit in the garage. I need something rwd that I can still drive my kids around in.
