Rebuilding My Totaled Drift Car in 30 Days

Little background on this car the chassis was originally built around 2005 by a shop in Georgia named Drift Emporium. Back in the early 2000's D.E worked with famous Japanese shop SIGNAL AUTO to bring cars over for competition when formula drift first started. this car was a shop/ practice car a the time it was painted a similar green to what I've done now. I acquired this car about 4 years ago as a running but basically stripped down car with just a cage and the sr essentially. I painted it black shortly after buying and drove the car for a few years until the original sr20 threw a rod out the side of the block. The car then sat for the last almost 2 years and that's where we start this video off pulling this car from its neglected state and reviving it back to its former drift duties in just 4 weeks enjoy.

Mine had a dent in rear driver quarter panel, welding 1” flat washers. A come a long and wench hook on front of pick up. I like the basketball idea. We just have to tinker with stuff, great final result. Funny I kept all my spare parts after my sr swap.

[@Nscardigno33]

That's a great idea!

Love this car. is that the duraflex kit? or a legit GT-1?

[@Nscardigno33]

It’s actually a duraflex kit 🙂 fit pretty good out of the box very little trimming . They don’t make ‘em for coupe had to buy a hatch and build the rear bumper

[@reversecaoboy]

@@Nscardigno33 looks real good man! Good to know it fit decent

[@tomastronca4076]

How much money does it cost to do something like that? Cause I've saw an s13 for 3000$ similar as yours

[@thumperkreck]

I am not sure how often this post is visited, but a quick question.
Happen to own a 1990 240 sx se fastback with a five speed, single cam KA w sun roof, 143k, in black, with no rot. A/C works 134a conv. myself 2 years ago, cruise as well. Manual everything else.
Front seat shows wear, great dash.
Second owner, bought from an older man retiring.
55yrs myself but from what I am told is a higher mileage unicorn that has not been modified but for needed exhaust and adj. conventional kyb struts/shocks, BN/ bf good radial ta's on stock aluminum wheels. Daily driveable.
What should I ask
Cheers 🍻...
