taught id start this thread as the skyline is going for a bit of a freshen up
as it was when i started
added a japspeed decat which there isnt any pics off
then i started adding my new front end
first i needed to change my bonnet latch to a gtr one, unfortunely i didnt know id need a bonnet release cable at the time so il have to get one but i kept going anyway
the gtr latch. can see the old one in the bottom right corner
the old one off
then new bracket on with out latch
with that done next i decided to go at the wings
passenger side,
off:
new wing on, a tad bit wider eh :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin:
my driver side wing on. i just gave it a quick primering, will be properly preped for paint
next i need the bonnet, so i bought this off knight racer, great company to deal with,
old bonnet off
new bonnet on
and then i added the gtr grill
i also added a few weeks back the east bear mirrors
as it stands now, but hopefully be a few more updates soon :glasses10:
did a bit more on this
out with the interior
the roll cage :icon_biggrin:
mock up
and it in, has to be taken back out to paint it, but am happy enough with it
another update, and some of the worst pictures taken ever
started with test fitting the kit and rear quarters, and removing my intercooler and bumper
bit of masking tape around the edge to get the holes roughfully level
opposite side i know, but fitted, screws for now as the panel behind it needs to get a little work before fully fit
also fit my tbo spats, works with the vertex kit nicely
and the side skirts
fitted now, still needs a small bit of tweaking
just need to fit one skirt and my bumper, need the help of a air saw to make room for my front mount.
sold the carbon boot today, so im back to the metal one, a few parts are on the way to me, firstly bought some cusco camber arms that were going cheap, small bit of surface rust on them,
primered
and painted
also got these to today
today i finished the kit which involved a bit cutting arch away, the arches still needs a bit of trimming or flaring
fitting the wheels,
and on the car, i am delighted with them,
i will get better pics soon
took a pic of how it is today, looks well, bit like a mad max car but it will get there
decided a back seat will look better, so i put that back in and with the cage in, not very functional but looks sweet and tidy actually ;D
