She's Ready !!!
Well...the original idea was to wait another couple of weeks as my 33rd birthday is coming up and I thought it would be rather cool to collect my new 33 as a birthday present to myself. However I can't wait any longer and have just got some text's from Ozz @ HJA...the beast is ready
  For those that dont recognise the car (shame on you), here she is earlier in her life: She is in need of some TLC and I figured I was just the man for the job. I'm already in contact with Shibuki-san at Top Secret and with their blessing and help am going to restore the car back to it's original condition where possible. Few bit sorted out already before collection and a couple of new parts sat in my spare room ready to be fitted. It's going to take a little while to get it exactly how I want it but am in no immediate rush and want to get used to the car and enjoy it for a little while. Tomorrow is going to be a LONG day...feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. Thanks to the chaps at TR Racing & HJA for all your help getting me my dream GT-R, I'm now officially skint but I don't care! Finally, to the big man upstairs, if there's any justice, pleeeeeeeeeeease hold off on the rain until Monday so I can have a play this weekend.

First things first...
The carbon fibre rear spoiler blades were looking very shabby and were bugging me everytime I saw them.  After a chat with Simon on here (thanks for the advice mate) and a couple of phone calls to Harry/OZ, they now look like this

Yes mate. I was fearing the worst, thought I was going to have to get TS to make me some new ones (it's a pair of split blades) which would have been a bit of a mission but they seem to have come up great, not seen them in the flesh yet.
Next came the rear screen, not very clear but the best pic I have of it. There were lots of stress cracks in the plastic and from the drivers seat looking back you couldn't even see out of it. The stickers were also faded and peeling.  I was going to replace with a glass screen but decided to stick with lexan and a new screen was ordered from Plastics4Performance and after a bit of a delay, turned up on Tuesday and was fitted tonight.
