yea good tools aren't cheap, i lashed out 5 hungy today on whats not even third of a tool kit yet....well worth getting quality tho.

My brother only buys Snap-on, his kit must be worth 20k by now, but they are good quality and will be replaced for free (without questions) if they ever break (try getting that service with sidchrome)

Im not a mechanic by trade so havent gone as overboard, but I have found Craftsman tools (from Sears in the USA) to be well priced and good quality.

funny you say that mate, cos im a fitter and turner and tools are my life. use them every day regardless of what it is...Ive tried most tools but I buy nothing but sidchrome and have had a couple of things break over the last few years only by force lol and they replaced without any hassle at all. Lifetime guarantee. KingChrome is also very good. Agreed Snap-on would be the best tho.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
