I havent had a project thread in quiet a while, and the main reason is that im to busy/lazy to update it all the time. so now im thinking if i make a project thread maybe it will give me incentive/inspiration to bloody finish this Car. maybee
Anyway, i bought a r32 skyline on here back last October i think. this is it when i bought it. it was fairly stock. few minor mods. i/c, exhaust, etc.
i ripped off the stickers. gutted interior, fitted Bucket seat, hydro, and coilovers.
made a hicas lockout system, and fixed the brakes. brought it to mondello and did this.
then had a bit of misfortune and this happened.
so, under further inspection when i got home the body damage was worse than i taught. the shell is fairly rusty in parts as its an uk import, and she didnt take the slap to well. its nothing i couldnt fix, but i can condone spending that much time and effort on a rough r32. the only reasonable option. a re-shell. i went lookin around and couldnt find any reasonably priced 32 shell, but did find a few clean s13 shells. went to view a few and picked up a nice ps13 shell in mayo. and as murphy would have it, on the drive home with the ps13 dan moorhead rings me with a cheep mint 32 shell.
ahh well, ive always wanted a ps13. and here she is.
The plans are to keep it simple and relatively inexpensive. It is a Tramp/missile/slut what ever ya wana call it, so i dont want to sink a fortune into it, but on the other hand im not interested in cutting corners anywhere as it'll only bite me in the arse when i least expect it. ill be building up the shell over the next few weeks, rollcage, suspension and steering mods, 5 stud conversion, coilovers, etc. then ill fit the engine and drive terrain out of the skyline.
ill be keeping the rb20 for the moment as it's what i have to work with right now.. it'll do the trick till i can sort something else.
