Yes the regas are sexy time I think il go with them, just have to decide whether to go with pretty wider rears and get the arches flared, or go with the same size all round.

Picked up a few parts off driftworks for pretty handy money...

Bride drivers side rail



And a very clean pair of mark ii xenon headlights





Will probably put these in and get the others refurbed and keep them for spares.

Bought a set of regas off Dave on Thursday but brought these two stronger fitment wheels with me to try them on to see will they work.

Grey one is a gtr face 17x9 et18 and the gold one is 17x8 et25.



The 81 arches seem to be even smaller than the 90's so hopefully with a bit of a roll they'll fit ok. Only problem with this staggered set is that the gtr ones have had the centre caps machined out've them so they don't match the fronts.

Replacement bushes etc are being ordered so hopefully will get it tested soon.

Cracking car, looking forward to seeing it finally painted and tidied up, great base no rust on it anywhere on it, u bought that car From my friend, he never got around to doing anything on it and had the engine not gone in the gtr I don't think he would've sold it, great memories, alot of powerful cars got caught off the hop, glad to see it will get the effort it deserves, you ve picked your wheels not a bad choice, was gona suggest how it good it looked on the 18 inch zeit wheels it came in with on the rear but the regas can't be flawed either, best of look with it

Hard to believe nobody has brought one in lately with all the fresh one imports arriving

these are hard to find though no??

these are hard to find though no??

Yea they are, I spoke to several importers about it and the chances of picking a manual one up in black with the grey interior is next to impossible, saying that a mk ii came up about a week after I bought it but it doesn't happen very often.
