So got some rust remady and sealed up the arches then cleaned and shulzed under the arches

Looks very well,even in the primer fair play,some work, respect.I love R32's nd great to see1 being looked after right. But since she is goin for paint would ya not think of blending the bonnet vent a bit.No disrespect intended unless tis the look ya wanted

So made some space
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4zms3sag.jpg
And seaked confidence in one of the lads that is a fabricator im not the best of a welder so
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pstg9y3vvv.jpg
So just waiting on front wheels the will begin the strip down to get ready for paint
Ok so havent updated this in ages things have not been going so well
Got it painted
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pstwui5x0e.jpg
Wasnt happy with the finish so started again
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psoyrcpiob.jpg
So already to go again
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psvuff0khw.jpg
So this time came out abit better not perfect but sure it was painted in a shed wit no door
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0wt3x1gg.jpg
So put it all back together and i questioned weather i went the right route with bolt on arches but later started to like them
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4vttq59t.jpg
Quick pic of it all together without all the wheels
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4fqi2uzy.jpg
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pst5feocwh.jpg
So wheels arrived thanks to the lads in jdm distro and automatically started masking them up for dave to do abit of airbrushing http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pswmtrgzzb.jpg
So finished result have to say dave is some man with that airbrush the spokes are done so well it looks like factory paint
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psjri3itnt.jpg
So of course things were going to well
I then went about fitting the wheels and well they dont fit having some clearence issues with the skirts and wings and also the coilovers
So this left me with a big problem so me being me 2 steps forward 1 step back i made an order from driftworks for front japspeed offset tension rods to try pull the wheels forward in the arch spacers all round driftworks rear toe rods and a solid steering colume bush nothing wrong with old rubber one but iv heard these make a nice difference to the steering so thats it for now just wainting on parts now will update soon
