DDS Performance is taking care of the rebuild. The rebuild will include new gaskets and head studs. Once the motor is done I'll be towing the chasis over for installation. I've been doing a little bit of work here and there recently, but nothing major.

I ordered a Circuit Sports Aluminum Coolant Reservoir tank a few days ago to replace the stock tank that's showing some signs of cracks. Should be here sometime next week.

DDS all the way:-).  I like those coolant reservoirs

I ordered the same one and it's a really good quality!  I can't wait to put in the car when I get it back. Grin

I stopped off at DDS recently and the engine is looking great. I ordered new bushings for the rear axle and I'll be completing the 5-lug conversion as I install all the new bushings. Should be fun. I ordered new rotors today. I plan on doing an interior removal soon and I should be welding up some holes this weekend.

A new water pump and clutch kit was added to the build as well.

A friend came over this past Saturday and we welded some metal plates on the holes made by the previous owner for the hot pipe and cold pipe. It was basically all for cosmetic reasons, but everything else around it was bent and rusted like crazy so it will help keep the area in tact.

Small update. I picked up some Silvia fenders and a Silvia bumper from Yao and got to work on repairing the existing body damage. After some fiberglass and body filler, this is what I ended up with:

I'm looking to get some aftermarket rear upper control arms to correct the negative camber in the rear wheels. I need suggestions as to what is the best bang for my buck. I want something that can accommodate adjustments but has the needed durability as well.

I picked up everything I needed to fix the camber in the rear. Once the engine is installed these parts will be going on the car and adjusted to compensate as needed.

I'm looking for the front bumper reinforcement for an s13 if anyone has one let me know.
