hehe well yesterday my clutch arrived

took me just about the day just the get the turbos off just happen to be that my spilt dumps dont fit, they are about half to 1mm off

today i did another step on my custom gauges, this is like my first time fiberglassing so i am pretty happy of what i came up with and hoping it will all fit in the end.

hopefully tomorro the old RB20 will be getting pulled out as the process will be a lil slow now cause leon broke his wriste rollerskating.

well going to be painting it again, candy this time insted of the metal cast colours

anyways left me camera at the work shop so dont have any pics as now

well today, trimed up the gauges pod and had another trial fit, looking good still needs a bit more sanding then going to start with body fill

also now there has been work started with removing the engine but the actual remove is going to happen tomorro so engine kinda has been stripped

tomorro, well engine should be removed and i am going to get started with trying to modify the spilt dumps so they fit. and maybe do a lil more on the gauges

    • 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.
