my b14 SE-R that i Bought for $380 Dollars
A buddy of Mine 200sx_se saw this on Criags list for $600 with a Front End Hit, it also had the LT Quarter Panel Damage, the Guy thought it was a total loss bad Title and i was buying it for the full swap then i was going to part out the car, well i called the DMV and the title was good so i got it regestered in my name clean title. all it needed was a Rad support Hood and Grille and both Headlamps and a FT bumper cover and AC cond and Radiator.

I had a few parts for this car anyways being ive worked on so many SR FWD cars and i have also owned many, so installed a SSAC header and new axels and a brand new shift knob and i also cleaned the inside up. i cleaned the FT end up and installed the used Hood and a G20 Metal Rad and Drove it to work ( bodyshop ) where a Bodyman Fixed the Front end for me for $100 and the LT Quarter panel and i use to be a painter so i was going to paint the car myself.. I had all the Glass Pulled and Detrimed the entire car, after repairing the panels from Door Dings and flaws i primered it useing Dupont primer.. I let it sit 2 weeks to let the primer cure then i blocksanded it with 180 and reprimed the car let it sit another 2 weeks then blocked it with 320 and gave it another few coats then i wetsanded the hell out of it with 600..

now its painted and back together its getting all new window moldings i also installed a set of 350x HIDs and a set of prothane motor mount and the energy suspention cotnrol arm bushings and a progress rear sway bar, new Brake pads ( autozone special ) and KYB GR2s and i also Re did the sound system.. I know theres not alot of power adders on it because im giving this car to my mom for mothers day, right now she has a 97 GXE and shes wanted the SE-R but could not afford it new so she got the GXE..
