Well lads... Larz is after threatening me to start a build thread for my R34 4-Door finally. I was doubtful and a bit reluctant to do it because all its been so far is parts collecting, but sure here we go!

So for 2017 I lived in Canada, and prior to that I'd built and driven a 525bhp 2JZ 180SX Type X so I needed to buy something practical and something that made sense. I'd caught wind of a registered R34 sitting in a shed in Roscommon that was very clean and hadn't moved much, so I set about finding some info on it. Shane Finn owned it, and it hadn't seen daylight since 2013...I had a friend travel the country for me and check it out, and after over 100 photos and 12 videos, and facetiming me I gave him the go ahead on leaving a deposit. This particular car was owned by a painter in Donegal who thankfully undersealed it, then Shane got it and started the manual conversion. He got the pedal and lines in, then left it sitting. Thankfully I got it right before VRT went mental, so in turn it made this a bit of a bargain. Here's some photos of the day it was collected. (Not sure where they're going to be on this Tapatalk thing)

Fast Forward months to October and I'm home, it's time to start collecting things for the car. From then until this week I've only collected parts and not worked on it, so I'll list what lies in wait for her.
