    So the front end has been taken off today
    The original side mount manifold has been taken out and scrapped
    And it's nice to see the front end nice and clean never been crashed in Japan before

    So we are currently fitting the front mount
    Front bumper had to be modified to get the Intercooler to fit in behind it and we are also having issues fitting the headlights again. New brackets will probably have to be made for the bricks
    Might spray the Intercooler black just so it won't be extremely in your face when the car is on the road I want to keep that standard unmodified look

    Things have been on a slow for the last few weeks
    This isn't much of an update but the battery has been taken out and a spot of rust was found underneath
    This was to be cut out anyways for the front mount piping
    Started collecting slap stickers for the 1/4 windows if anyone has any lying about shoot me a message
    And after months of searching I've finally found and purchased a glass silvia front grill from upgarage Japan
    Picture of the car about 18 months ago just to keep ye interested

    Another not much of an update but my parts from Japan and England landed today
    Less than two weeks ago I was scrolling through upgarage Japan and stumbled across this immaculate silvia front grill I'd been searching everywhere for months for one so this was my chance I snapped it up
    Again procrastinating I was scrolling through eBay avoiding the mountain of study I was supposed to be doing and ordered this little alloy header tank just to get rid of the horrible plastic one

    So yesterday I got to sit behind the wheel and take the car for a quick spin after basically 18 or 19 months
    She's still not quite finished and went for nct Wednesday and only failed on the brick headlights (common so was thrilled) she should be done and dusted tomorrow and retest is on Sunday
    Currently switching to triple projectors for nct and may even keep them for summer depending on how it looks
    Here's how she currently sits nct spec

    Unreal only failing on the headlights! I have NCT in mine in the morning. Must swap out the wheels. I swapped out the steering wheel this evening. Delighted you have it back.
