Bringing a GTT back to glory Hey guys, this is a current work in progress let me flood you with the details Pictured, how i bought this car 2 years ago, paints f**ked, gt wing, crystal tailights. my reason for even looking at this car was of how early it was imported. having a compliance date in 2002 and being a 1998 model i knew rust would be minimal, after inspection i was right, not a spec anywhere! chassis rails unmarked aswell, factory manual turbo, Those f**king tailights, (shudders) Since the motor was healthy besides a stuffed IACV, i fixed that and got straight to the cosmetics. new oem lights sorted, Some Miesters 18x9 +30 and 18x10 +30 i had ready for the car and an east bear front lip i scored from a wrecker who was unaware what it was! At least now it was starting to look less like it was ready to go the tip. From what i could tell, the car was never polished or cleaned, after days on days of Clay bar, buffing and waxing majority of the car came up great - Mirrors had to be painted - drivers rear skirt has to be painted - front and rear bumper needed resprays - boot lid had been warped from the gt wing - driver door has a big bend from being opened against a pole All pic's after paint repairs and detailing from here i moved onto some interior bits led light conversion to white, also have done air con controls to match, and im assuming the original cabin filter. has been replaced straight away old butchered wiring, then my fitted pioneer double din, From here i moved onto my custom flush gauge install factory gauges, with then without factory cover, then seperated then the aftermarket Shadow gauges, Split the lense and bezels the aftermarket gauges basically pressure fit in to the factory housing, i really dig the look without the bezel After the gauges were mounted, i tapped into power, acc and earth from the original harness, ordered a brand new clear face from nissan and here you have the finished result! Also, had the gauge surround, air con and vent painted satin black. very easy to keep clean! Back to the outside, trying to find a body kit that doesn't look cheap or ruin the car was quite hard, eventually i decided on the east bear rear bumper all i can say is east bear is worth the money, 100% perfect fit, no modding needed and very strong fibreglass, so happy with the purchase This is factory East bear fitted without pods, also note late model nissan badge! with rear pods thats all for my first post, more updates very soon
