Just bought a 1974 2002. Progress thread.

Here's some pictures of the old car and the new 2002 !

The new 2002

[firefirefire90]

you came from the same background as I. I'm interested to see where you go with your 74

[heist]

Good to hear. After browsing these forums I feel like I would get more criticism for my plans then appreciation haha. I'm planning on documenting my whole build so stay toned should be a little different from the normal outlook.

[firefirefire90]

yeah, who cares. it's your car at the end of the day ya know. This is my old car before it was slammed on KWV1's and was sold. Miss the low lifestyle.

[PSloan]

So, what are your plans? Coils? Bags?

What about the motor? Please, do it right. There's nothing I hate worse than a slammed car with $3000 poke n'stretch BBSs with NO attention to detail.

[heist]

First to get the car in decent running condition. I have seen some ghetto rigged stuff, but this car tops it all. Parts were held in with tape and glue. Lots of plywood for some reason.

I'm trying to take on some of the rust in the interior right now. Then I'm going to put the battery and a fuel cell in the trunk.

As far as what I want to do with it is coils, mesh wheels with a lip, race interior, and in time get it running with ITB's and an engine rebuild ( camed etc)

Shoot for new paint within the year. I painted the G35 in my garage and did everything myself, which I plan to do with this car also.

Lol, that e46 still has 3+ inches to go before it's slammed.

[heist]

Is it possible to run 16x9 with fender modifications? I like the esm wheels.

[heist]

Some work I have done in the last few days

lots and lots of rust

[Frenchee]

Cool I love flat black! Looks good on ur nissan. at first I thought u had vyniled it but u said u painted it urself. Interesting

[heist]

Thanks. I got the motor and everything out. Trying to sell my whole car in pieces.

[firefirefire90]

lol that e46 has 3+ inches before its slammed

thus why I said this is pre-KWv1 coilovers

your car is coming along greatly btw!

[heist]

Still working on getting everything out. Man this car has some serious rust. After I patch the holes I'm going to put in my racing seats.

I would love some help with my wheel fitment. I'm going to get IE coilovers and then want to stuff some 9" wide wheels under her.

These:

16x9.0 4x100 15 57.1 3.0"

My main concern is will this have any problems other then hitting the fender. Also I picked up Lee's massive brakes so would i need a spacer to make it fit or would they fit? Thanks if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I'm no expert, but that seems like too much offset unless you're planning on doing the whole poke n'stretch thing with crazy negative camber and skinny tires.

[heist]

I want a stretch, but mild. Not the whole bent broken look. I don't mind a few degrees of negative camber. On my g35 I had -5/-6 up front and -3/-4 in the rear. I can handle that.

Wanted the tire size to be: 9_215_40_R16_Toyo_T1R

Just stressing if it will clear the brake and fit in with the suspension since coil since the strut/shock is so damn close.
