welcome to my new project :)
the build of my nissan RS13.5 drift car (RS13 from the body style .5 from the S15 front end conversion it will have)
i've always wanted to build a car from a bare shell as i felt that was the way to do the job right
and the job of all the fabrication will be handled by the guys at RS Fabrications in banbury,oxfordshire
so here goes
the plan:
start with a completely stripped bodyshell
remove all sound deadening and all excess brackets and fittings that aren't needed
fully sand blast the shell inside/outside/underneath
multipoint weld in roll cage with cross diagonals to roof/rear and doorbars
full seam weld
tubbed front arches
rear arches cut and widened to fit fibreglass overfenders
3" stainless steel downpipe and exhaust
bespoke radiator and intercooler fitment
bespoke intercooler pipework
i'm hoping to have the car finished for late 2009/early 2010 in time to try and gain a licence
to enter the British Drift Championship (BDC) with it.
