The front suspension came out. It, as with the RB20DE, wasn't destined to go back in the car in any shape or form.

Front cross-member modifications were made to the RB20DE cross-member to accomodate the SR20DET. I later found out that the SR20DET cross-member from an S14 should bolt up but the modifications had allready been made.

The front turrets were seam welded which turned out to be a fruitless exercise in the end given the final plans for the front end, which at this time weren't determined.

The rear subframe came out in one unit.

The engine bay got a protective coat of primer.

The first bodykit was trial fitted which as with other things on this project proved to be pointless as the final bodykit choice was the R324 Bee*r bodykit, the first of its kind to leave Bee*r.

Sound deadening was removed by chipping it away with an air chisel during the cold winter nights and the remnants cleaned off with cellulose thinners and a couple of rags.

The floorpan was primered for protection from the elements.

The SR20DET was stripped.
