23 hours of towing later, and new and old meet. For two months, I had no luck finding any decent '91-94 Sentra coupe shells. They're three decades old and now rarer in any trim level than you think. Friendships and connections that predate even vBulletin forums and social media thumbed the scale.

2) Long-time fellow SE-R owner Louis sold me a rare find: his own red B13 SE-R, already set up for RallyCross. Wasn't officially for sale, but that's the serendipity of re-homing special things. Even matched my old Blipshift shirt down to the B14 SE-R wheels. Meant to be.

1) A huge solid from my friend Kevin, who lent me his own '92 SE-R (at left) to enter in the SCCA RallyCross National Championships a few weeks later. Was able to make my 13th consecutive Nats, and in a SR20VE-swapped car to boot.
