some good came out of todays "mishap"

[inark]

Being the optimistic person that i am i like to think despite what happend today.... it was a good thing

As you all most likely know of the last 8 months i pretty much collected (apart from the engine) the front of a GTR as in Guards, Bar, Sides (technically not front i spose) and cooler.

I ended up selling the cooler to Adz and was going to sell the other bits and my car or give the parts away to the person who brought it...

plans changed thanks to a ****ing stupid bolt sticking up out of one of those concrete spacer things at the front of car parks... peice of crap!

As you can see the plastic bar is pretty much ****ed... so out of bordem (and the fact the front bar is rooted) i decided i would chuck those GTR parts on... and hence begins Project R

wtf... when was this... y fix it 4? jus patch it up and keep it until you sell the car... so you don't run the risk of pranging it...

So far all ive done is removed the old front bar and left guard and put the left front GTR guard on.

Looks a bit odd with the stock wheels haha might have to see if i can get my hands on a pair of front GTR rims so the offset sits and makes it look proper.

Theres some minor rust on the front which i will fix while the front bar is off... nothing too hard.... just sand it back to shiny metal and give it a couple of nice coats of primer putty and black it.

earlier today after i washed the car

meh... i got the parts here already why not wack em on.... get it all painted at once... if i can use my uncles next door neighbours spray equipment and garage it wont cost me a hell of a lot... plus i kinda wanna sell it knowing its in top condition.... im gonna miss it man.

EDITED***

anyway.... plastics not that easy to fix when its torn like that and wont last long unless plastic welded.

see what i mean about the guard

even tho the wheel isnt str8 u can see how much fatter it is.

[inark]

[pushead]

umm nark, what the hell are you doing to your car?

[inark]

bit of a difference...

pushead.... "im improooving it"

[inark]

oh yeah is there meant to be a fan on front of the radiator as well as the big one on the back? i find that odd.

[pushead]

but aren't you getting your GTR soon and selling your existing car?

[inark]

yup...

going to speak to the old man and see if he will lend me the money to get the R til i sell both my current cars... as well as borrow the money to paint and ready this for sale

[inark]

looks like i will be driving around the soarer til this is back on the road... only issue is getting to work til we pick the soarer up thisweek.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

good luck with it all

[pushead]

lucky bastardd!!!!! how much are you paying for the R?

[inark]

cheers redline

going to spend about 1,500,000 maximum on the car alone.... depends.

[Guest INASNT]

Your front guard must be preety arkin weak to fall apart like that frim nocking something while parking!!

[inark]

it hasnt u nob... the bar pulled away from the guard and the guard isnt damaged.

[inark]

i might atucally end up suing the shopping centre as my car is the legal height.

going down there to measure the height of that concrete thing with the bolt sticking out of it. My mum told me one of her friends sued a place that did that to her car cause there werent any warning signs to say they were even there.

[Guest INASNT]

if u r gonna borrow $$ off daddy get the full hog and get enough for atleast a r33 gtr

[inark]

why i dont want to own an R33 GTR.... i dont like them as much. If im going to own a GTR its going to be a 34 or 32.... seeing as i dont have 70k at the moment the 32 will have to do
