I just love builds to this extent. I have a friend that has been doing a similar drag build to his S13 chassis for the last two years. Love to see the fabrication skills and innovative ideas. Props to your dedication, since I know the time it takes to tackle a project like this. Quick disconnect body panels are awsome.

U can make them your self very easly..
I use 10mm steel rods and just bend them without any heating..
Just brutal force...


U will probably get them much cheaper in the us..
I have to pay $10 each just for the snapoff brackets.

So I pay about $60 for each bracket I make..

Really don`t no...

They just found the turbo last week, and the internals went out for balancing..
The housings and inlet are out for polishing..

Flares are going to look great once everything is completed.
