I've been a member of this forum for a while now and I guess im just now getting to posting progress of my S12 ive been into these cars since i was 13 and im 23 now im normally a Z guy but RWD of almost any kind has my attention so with further a due when I bought my S12 witch cost me 350 by the way it was running find and just needed a wheel bearing/spindle and the body was pretty rusted, I bought the car august of 2012 and since then thanks to club s12 I have successfully converted the front suspension to S13 all except control arms and tension rods, and i have also painted the car myself well ill cut the talking and get to the pics lol.
