my 93 Project VE

I acquired a 93 VE and it had a bad rod knock til I blew the engine. I end up getting a motor from Japan Importers, and I did a engine project, changed all the gaskets and seals and hoses and new plugs and coils. I took apart the manual transmission to do new seals. I was getting close to the finish line when I was about to drop the engine in, however I had to get new motor mounts and as I pulled the cross member I discovered I had a cracked frame from the blown motor. So my project stalled since I need to replace the cross member. however I couldn't find one at the scrap yard. So I'm sitting duck til one turn up. Heres my progress where I am. I am already doing the interior to re wrap the leather on the steering wheel and now doing the seats since the leather is pretty cracked and ready to rip.

After my beloved 93SE crashed I went over to the 300ZX Z31. I'm making well over 500 to the wheels with a boosted forged with Z32tt oil pump and crank VG33et. The VE has extraordinary top end as I recall, not so much torque though. I ran the Tundra oil filter to reduce the clack at startup. It's been years, I might be a little off on what I remember
