  9. Ha coming together quick now!! Last weekend of painting coming up...masking tape = FML Thanks man. It's understatement to say this build has consumed me. Nearly there hey, just so many little things to get sorted once she is all back together. Hanging out for all the first's.... Thanks heaps Ewan. You're right, some wack comments were made considering the thread had only just been posted!? Really appreciate your input mate. It's words like yours that give me the will to keep pushing on to get this done. As you could probably understand, at times it's hard to justify the time and effort...the hours that I have put into this build are pretty worrying but realistically that's what it takes to get a result that hopefully is worth it all in the end and will provide years and years of enjoyment/appreciation of achieving a dream. I agree, I don't think it's unrealistic either that the bnr32 will appreciate in value over the next decade or 2 or 3...time will tell Thanks again mate More painting Front end assembly!!! Dummying up coilovers (ignore rears re spring layout). Need to order new OEM rear tops etc This took some time and patience!!
