Nissan silvia s12 drift build(blog test)
This is my drift project. I bought the nissan for £500 so very cheap.
Their is abit of rust mainly on the arches and inner sills and probably lots under the main panels.
The car had not been running for around 3 years and was completely stripped because the owner was going to get it repainted and never did.
About me
Im 21 and i like cars
I have alot of qualifications to do with cars and other things but my main occupation is mechanical engineering.

We also make custom parts for cars for example adaptor plates, wheel spacers and some other stuff.
