in the next month i will be adding pics to this thread on the restoration of my car.I tried to start a thread and add pics last night but kept on getting a board message.Anyway ive already started the job some time ago,but im pretty busy at work so i do what i can when i can.So far ive done a few small parts and stock piling them up in the office....i will add some pics later.

heres is some pics when i bought the car

as you can see not too bad rust wise....pretty happy with it really...its at the blasters at the moment and he said its really good...but i havent seen it yet

i restored the tail lights and built a 12a PP engine using brand new rotors,oil control rings,stationary gears,apex/side/corner seals ect.....i used almost new rotor housings

Nice MFR rotor housing and manifold mate that will be a good little motor in her

the door trims,rear 1/4 trims are in really good condition but i made a branding die to make new ones anyway

Very nice project mate, I reckon get a set of those Katayama flairs and 13x10" Watanabe's, would suit it really well.

Good luck with it!

thanks mate i will be making branding die for the gt head rest's next week....they look like this

Nice, are you thinking of doing some to sell? What colour are you thinking of painting it?

Saw this on youtube and it makes me want one.

A real GT!!?? nice one. welcome, I look forward to further updates.

Nice car mate.

I have just put 2 and 2 together! Your username made me gerry. Do you or did you have a yellow r34 skyline? I used to see the blue ute around when I lived in Essendon. Or am I way off?
If that's you, I remember beeping at you a couple of times, I would have either been in my white 929 wagon with 13b bridgy, or my yellow capella with 13b bridgy.

you mean these

AH HA!

Yeh, I used to see the ute around every so often. Cool car. My brother actually lives just down the road from MCR.

Good luck with the rest of your build

will be the original white colour,havent decided about the headrests yet....more than likely yes,but to be honest the problem is im sick of seeing people whinging about products that are already available not being "perfect" for example the repo panels that are available,ive never seen them in person but i know if i did need one and couldnt find a secondhand one id much rather buy them and work them than sit there with an english wheel/sheet metal/hammer/dollys and sand bag making them....ive been there,its not fun.Something to start with is better than nothing in my books.
