NoelB's 180sx Project

Well after 3months of dossing around I said I better stick up a thread. First of all a big thanks ta creepy for all the help he gave with the car and the other mates too who aint on the site.

Put the car away in teh shed after a long search for a runabout. This is how it was the day I put it away

After a while shoveling snow we finally got the car in

First thing we started into was stripping the interior so out with the old and in with the new

Had picked up a red recaro and a type x seat at right money. Only problem was the recaro was on a s-body passenger rail but after a while fabricating and bateing it went in a virgin fit (only after this I realised what a passo recaro rail was worth ha)

Wired up the boost gauge. While doing so found a large crack in an actuator pipe so that was causing major power loss. So with boost controller set up at .8 bar on high theres a mental difference!!

Got all my interior back so time for that ta be put back in. So basically dash, door cards and centre console were flocked with a little bit of carbon fibre wraping too. Have more ta get hydrofoiled soon enough. Was an awful pain in the arse trying ta get the dash back in

Was always toying with the idea of changing the colour of the wheels so decided ta pull a bit of paint of and see what was underneath
