George & Annalie's S13

[George]

Is pretty cool isn't it Matt I was thinking of a similar colour myself... but now you've just blown that out of the water George lol

Nothing to stop you buying the paint, just be quick, 2k cellulose is being phased out.

that looks the same colour as mine but mines imperal blue

i loved my sx DAM YOU LEARNER DRIVERS

[George]

Crap photos, and I need to adjust the headlamp covers for the right panel gap, but it's all in one piece. I'll take some photos that do it justice at the weekend.





Not far to go now!

[M.D.]

mate that is awsome, and i love it even more because you have used the standard bumpers and made an almost factory look about the car. really really well done

just a quick one, the celulose paint thing. youi say that they are phasing it out, (cos of the water based paint rubbish that we have to use now).
but will there not still be basic colours available in cellulose, like tinters (red,blue,green,black,white etc etc)
surely they cant phase everything out, ive heard about the water based thing for a while now and was just looking for some more info on it.

i think all that they will acheave by going water based is less work for painters as its now too expensive, and more people changing there car colours to one that is still available cos its cheaper,

[Scougar]

Good work. Rear reminds me of a FC RX7 for some reason. Need more pics (when you get time ).

[Teggers]

Beautiful job there! Looks almost like Nissan made it that way. S13 on steroids (or too many pies )

The primer and lacquer are still cellulose, but it's just the base coats that are going water based. You can still buy everything, but it's just getting harder to source.

The only reason I retained the standard bumpers was because I ran out of time on this, otherwise I would have made my own. I still think it looks OK, but it could have been much better with a bit more work.

The pictures don't do it justice at all, I'll get it out in the sunshine at the first opportunity!

looks awsome mate ! are you going to make up your own bumpers at some point or just stick with the standard ones ?

[M.D.]

will it not become eventually impossible to get any base colours ??

that blue you have used really is an old fave of mine, a mate years ago painted his XE nova in the same and it was stunning

I'm just going to stick with the standard ones for now. I only did this to get some more wheel clearance, so the looks are secondary.

Maybe, but the new regulations haven't come in yet in Northern Ireland and there's a few companies that seem to be finding a way round the rules for the time being. I don't know how they're doing it though.

What are the roads like up there in Shetland Isles? Will it get used only in the Shetlands or will it see other parts of the UK, or Norway etc at some point?

The roads up here are good

I want to get down to Knockhill for a few track days at first, then maybe a trip to the Nurburgring some summer, but I just want to get out and use the bloody thing now!

[kingj]

[Fake Ben Taylor]

eagerly awaiting daylight pics

[M.D.]

i cant wait to see track action pics of this one too,

jsut realised that we havent had any feedback on the origional project in this car,
the evo twin scroll turbo, that was the main reason i was wathing this car, and now its just an all round brilliant car too .

I've only driven it onto a trailer, then into the garage. By the time I'd finished the engine and everything I'd already hacked the arches off.

This is it though, a few more nuts and bolts tonight and then we're off!
