Inline 6 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) ^^ does the word obsessed mean anyting i wouldnt be an accountant if i wasnt under the impression it was the only way i could afford a gtr. basicly i did f all for about 2 years once i started working and my bro kinda stole 7k off me for over a year during that time which prevented me the option of settling for a gts. best 23rd b day pressie of all time when i got the car though me thinks yeah and the odd old lady here and there they need loving to. also note i drove a rusty dato for 5years, all or nothing is my style and there it is i have helped turn this into a wasteland Edited March 11, 2009 by Inline 6 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/260564-what-is-your-greatest-achievement-with-your-car/page/2/#findComment-4470929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLED Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Mine was/is My first car. Bought a LH torana... Stock, white, brown interior, 6cyl 173 auto.My dad, grandpa and i did it up over the next 2 years. Did everything ourselves, didnt just write a check and get it done. We sprayed it, re did the interior, put in a V8 , manual, everything. The only thing we had to get done was the exhaust. And then ive entered in a few shows and won a few awards for it. Which really was an achevment as my car cost only a few thousand to do and was beating out cars with proffesional this, profesional that and many more thousands spent on it then mine. And not only that was good time to get together with my dad and my grandpa.. Was a good time... In one of the pics shows an FJ. They also restored that one to... great story Adam....nothing beats a family project, just a shame my dad wasn't interested in anything but fishing, lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/260564-what-is-your-greatest-achievement-with-your-car/page/2/#findComment-4470961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Import S13 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 When I owned my old 32, I bought it DEAD STOCK from Japan. Was Midnight Blue (TH1) auto, turbo aero kitted 32. There wasn't a single thing done to this car. Even came with the standard Nissan exhaust system. By the time I sold the car, it had some much work done to it. Manual trans, repainted in Velocity blue, kitted, tuff rims, GTR interior and enough power mods to keep me happy and out of to much trouble. Looking at pictures of the 32 before and after, and I can see why my parents where saying I was spending way to much money on the car. But at least I can say I built the car not bought it and i made it my own, how I'd wanted it. Deffenetly one of the cleanest 32's getting around and I miss it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/260564-what-is-your-greatest-achievement-with-your-car/page/2/#findComment-4471830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhys5169 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) buying my first car, mk2 rs2000 2 door and from 16 putting in the hard yards with the old man in the shed rebuilding it, caused alotta anger because simply i swear the car was cursed, fix one thing, then sumthin else would break.... but i stuck it out, put in blood sweat and tears and alotta $$$ and 4 years later finished it, got featured in international magazine Classic Ford and won the dyno day hosted by the magazine....enjoyed it and sold it off. then buying my GTR cash at age 20 last year, very proud feeling to own something of that value at that age Edited March 11, 2009 by rhys5169 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/260564-what-is-your-greatest-achievement-with-your-car/page/2/#findComment-4471867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
