good work on the paintjob,, nice to see it broke down properly and all the door jams done,, hard to beat fresh paint everywhere,

cheers man... thought if we're goin to all the effort might aswell do it right.. the engine will come out in a few weeks aswell to spray the bay... but want to get it on the road an actually drive it for a while first...

I like the way your keeping it somewhat standard looking. Dont leave the wheels white, bronze or graphite like one of the guys said

ah they will be sprayed just not straight away - ha maybe not at all if I can't make em fit...

nice clean car, few small touches and it will look sweet .

pity my rims would have been a perfect fit for ya .

wouldn't mind I looked at em every now and then and when I actually decided to get them, they were gone...

ah well... I'm happy enough with the Rotas to be honest... if they fit

[QUOTE=. I should have rolled the arches before fixing and spraying but too late now ....

Ah really I wonder who was telling u that even before u started the car

[ELV-iS]

right, so the outside of the car is nearly all back together just front bumper, doors and boot lid left...

but the wheel situation has fucked up progress... I've started a separate thread on it http://www.driftireland.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=33505 hopefully some ideas come out of it...

[ELV-iS]

So finally got to putting the whole thing back together... All the interior bits were already out so I cleaned them up a bit



Serviced the car, stuck it back together and finally it came out of the garage

It's still not done, plenty of plastics left to fit, need an arch liner, skirts spacers to fit the wheels on the front, spray the wheels, etc.. etc..

The outside hasnt been polished or cleaned properly yet but the car is finally back on the road so happy days

i like it alot . what colour or code is that red ??

[ELV-iS]

cheers man... its a 2 pack colour, ral3001 I thnk it is.. I have the bucket at home so I'll double check...

I'll get some better pics when its all polished up

[ELV-iS]

so one day of driving and the car is off the road

first the earth off the starter fell off - so had to get pushed to start before figuring the issue out

and then the feckin clutch decides to shit itself

[ELV-iS]

Haven't updated this in a while...

Sorted the couple of small issues... fitted a standard Exedy clutch, it'll do the job for the moment....

The issue I had with fitting the GTRs was cos I was using original top mounts with the Tein coilovers and it was pushing the shock too far forward... that'll be sorted soon anyway with a set of apex coilovers that I may have lined up...

anyway onto the cool shit...


in my effort to keep it OE looking I picked up a pair of plastic chuki sideskirts...
and a pair of random fibreglass spats just cos I was lazy and kouki rear stuff is exshpensive...

I'm preppin them for paint at the moment and should have em on the car by the weekend hopefully....




I also picked up a set of these bad boys... not mad sizes or anything but I think they'll suit the car very well...



Can't wait to get them on...
