Thumbs up My SC400 Drift SC Build!!!

Hi all! I'm relatively new here, been lurking for a little while now for parts and whatnot. Figured this would be a good place to document my build and get some helpful insight. I've had a few s13's in the past and one of then I slid during 08. Struggled for awhile financially and finally back on my feet and doing things for real and responsibly now so there's no chance of my plans not being successful. Anyways, life story aside, it all starts with this black beauty sc400 I purchased May 2010 from a guy in StL, MO. Turns out he's a member here, just found that out a week ago lol.
Posting from my phone so it'll take a few posts before we are up to date..

Default Demolition

Started right away with removing all unnecessary things that'd be in the way for my cage and whatnot. Sold the 1uz to a friend it's going in his drift Tacoma with a supercharger.

Edit: can't post any more pics right now cause too big?? Nevermind I think img code is working

Thanks guys!! Yeah I specified that I wanted decent room(Im 6'3 215Lbs)so good cage fitment was a must! Lots and lots to do though...probably won't be done till this time next year, on a tighter budget now so I'll actually have money left over when it's all done.
