What do you know about this car?

I saw it just over a week ago at a panel beater near my work. They had the front stripped to quote. They do all the high end $300K plus cars

I have a spare $160K at the moment, stuff the house reno's. It goes to auction on the 24th. I think I might have a look. . .

hey Mate, if your keen i can ask my brother tomorrow whats up with it and get a very honest description and whats up with it from him

pm me your mobile and i can get him to call you if he will.....

I will check with the panel shop tomorrow and see what they say.

Looks like it could be a flood car

I buy new car parts and slip them under the magic bench in the workshop, but a whole car might be a bit hard to get past the wife.

She said no more cars. I have built 3 others since that comment. What is one more....

Yee sweet as, let me know if you need to talk to my brother, i will let him know your keen anyway and to expect a call.

not sure if its a flood job, i asked him if there was any good flood cars the other day and he said no..

ohh someone should tell him there are no R35 skylines. meant to say that.

of course he had friends bid on it. whats the bet one of them accidently won and its listed next week because of 'non payment' or something similar

The only people stupid enough to bid on it were his mates or himself as you can see all of them have history with him and do you think the bidders names look alike or is it just me...

The names mean nothing anymore, they are randomly assigned but consistent to the same person.

How did you get all that history?

Cheers

You just log in and the info is there, you can see the same people bid on items off each other and give them perfect feed back, it is a way to build up your ratings.

thanks, found it. I thought it was a summary screen on all bidders then I realized you had put that shot together.

I would agree that the 2 highest bidders look a bit sus. But that said, good luck to them as it is not my money spent on that car. :P

Seriously, it would probably be less head f**k for the current owner to sell it to an import wrecker. Surely they would pay $5k for an M35 that has a fair number of good panels and a reasonable interior. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that the drivetrain is ok too.

:P

What a waste of everyone's time...

(but hey it kept us amused for a bit.) :blink:

A CPV35 with interior fire sold for $6,000 the other day here and we estimated it to be worth $3,500 to $4,000 due to the punt you are taking not knowing what is salvageable... It was seriously burnt but I forgot to get a picture.

pickles?

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
