Nadine180 Car Bio
| The Story |
| |
I got the 180SXxy in June 1998...before I even had my driver's license. My god-cousin gave me the car. He was a smoker & worked as a welder, so you can only imagine what a pig he was. The car hadn't been washed in a year or so,
the injectors were leaky, the shocks were bad, there was no motor oil, the rims where GHETTO, the muffler had a hole in it, the tint was purple &
bubbly, the ash trays were full of cigarette butts...well you get the picture, the car was screwed up!! I spent months cleaning her up...years restoring stuff, perfecting lil' things, replacing tons of lil'
interior parts, engine parts, suspension parts, whatever, everything! I cleaned her up, fixed her up, gave her a new home, and with a lil' Lovin' and a lot of TLC...
she has evolved into a beautifully babied S13 who we know today as the 180SXxy.
