2yrs ago when i was stripping car down for a quick sale i sold my uber rare oem rear window louvres. my friend JAMES sold them back to me for dirt cheap! he said they belong on my car and i was very happy to get these back...should have never sold them.

well i had to pick up some more oem parts that i swapped onto black car since it was missing some when i owned it. was a good reason to upgrade the old parts anyway.

* headlight bezel trim
* window door-moulding 80821-35f20
* weatherstrip- hatch 90830-40f00

if any Nissan friends need parts i have a new contact through Alliance Nissan. His name is Jason Morales 1-757-328-2708. he was my main source in the past before Nissan of Chesapeake. he went on to another job, but came back to Alliance as parts manager. he will beat Courtesy or Nissan of Chesapeake's prices.


just mention my name ( JARED ) and he will hook it up (^_^)

Re: JDM180SX aka Scout Troopers's PHASE 2 OEM/ JDM/ DD RESTORATION
 

Wow looking good Jared, been a while since I've been on here to check the progress! I love the 180sx mats, have those on my car as well! If you change your mind about going with aero mirrors I have a few sets I need to sell right now, Ganador, East Bear, or Aero Marker, all for the S13 haha.

Re: JDM180SX aka Scout Troopers's PHASE 2 OEM/ JDM/ DD RESTORATION
 

yeah somebody sent me a text sunday...i didnt even know.
on other hand somebody hacked my photobucket account and deleted some of my albums....explains all the broken links. i have lots of updates, but i dont think im going to upload anything anymore. if anyone cares to follow progress ill be updating my blog and facebook from now on.
it sux somebody would take the time to hack and delete my photobucket. :(

Re: JDM180SX aka Scout Troopers's PHASE 2 OEM/ JDM/ DD RESTORATION
 

Ive been working on my build thread for the last 2 weeks repairing links and uploading pics back into photobucket. I also deleted some pics and info since i changed it up a bit. My thread is 100% restored for those that care to follow. :)

I finally got around to installing the 180sx front end back in the fall. I still need to wire in the jdm light harnesses and mount the c/f lip using oem style hardware. Everything lines up perfect...cant beat OEM!

I'm happy to see that front end on there finally! Looks like you'll have to sag that front lip some.
