YES, Photobucket ruined my build thread, I intend to go back through and start re uploading photos but there is three years of thread here. The most recent posts are on FLICKR and the pictures work. If there are any specific pictures you want of the rust removal in the sills PM me and i will dig them out for you.
I love a good story but every one loves pictures more, I have had this car for a while now so heres a brief history of how I got to where I am now
In the beginning….
The car was brought completely standard
Did some small ish mods, including D2 8pot brakes, some Nissan BBS wheels and R888 tyres, springs, air filter cone, manual conversion…the usual stuff
Then went all over Europe in it,
Stelvio pass. Sat nav struggled here
Swiss alps
Bottom of the swiss alps
5* accomadation
Then after thinking that I knew how the car behaved it bit me.
Amusingly enough it was on a round about, would you believe it? Then It spent a bit of time as a clown car
After this it was in real danger of becoming a bit of a missle car, I was having an illicit affair with my R32 GTR you can see in the edge of the picture, but I am so glad I didn’t let that happen, instead I sold the GTR because I didn’t get the same tingly feeling when I drove it… it just scared me.
So, more pennies were spent on fiber glass +20mm front wings and a seibon carbon bonnet and some fresh KH3 paint. And a set of Rota GTRDs (boo hiss I know) hks silent hi-power and other stuff I cant remember.
Then because of work commitments it sat for a while, managed to get to FD Vegas 2012,(the year Jim Guthrie flipped his mustang) and holy bat balls, it’s a different level, kind of makes the BDC look like some olds boys in a car park. And you can sit so close to the armco’s that you get bits of daigo saitos car in your face. Met the coolest kid in town too
But now, the build is happening, and I knew I would need the support, advice and help of a great community of people to make it happen. So here we go.
