Hi here's a few pictures of the car and wheel build.
I started with buying this specR silvia not a solid shell but was complete


Which I then made look like this...



I decided to build a wide arch silvia so wanted a mint solid shell so I imported a new mint pearl white silvia
It's a 2002 rare sunroofed car
Here the auction pictures

And when it arrived


I then removed the engine for the specR engine and 6sp box



I then sold my fresh refurbed SSR SP1 professors

To fund the MAD Meisters

18" front 10j et-23 rears 13j et-35

They were tatty but had potential.....

looks like the S14 one, i had one on my S14a with the same logo etc... think all the S15 ones have slip joint also between the 2 parts.. epic exhaust tho !

Oh yeah just noticed that. Also sammos13 fit was very good although I have a hanger missing. And front hanger on back section needed a trim as was rattling against it prob due to missing hanger

It came off a 15 and was brought off a forum member. I'm not really fussed either way tbh it's damn light and looks good

Getting there slowly....

Gives an idea of the extra width with the stock wheels on but it's going wider still to fit the rear wheels.

This is the progress so far had to take time out for an operation but should be painted in the next couple of weeks after all the filling and smoothing in is finished. Finally got my bride seat rails too so the Evo VIII recaros can go in soon too then it's finishing touches and registering to do.
