Can't say it is to my tastes... for the money that the QLD mob charged for the drive in, drive out conversion - I'd rather a nice R33 GTR! (I'll have to look at the article again to see what the $$$ was, but I know it was pretty hefty!)

Yeah, that looks like the one Skyline Imports were offering. According to an article in HPI the demonstrator model (like the one pictured) was $62,000, or $30,000 to have it done to a car you supply. $10,000 worth of rolling stock and 200+ hours labour. It looks incredible, but i find it hard to justify the asking price.

Met and had a lil chat with GZ R33 at the servo last night on the way home from trivia, nice to meet you, and the car looks hot, but whered your mirror go?

Cheers mate, good to meet you, the car looks good.

The mirror got wiped out by a delivery truck who decided to drive off without shutting the side door. Could have been alot worse, I don't know how it missed the whole side of the car. :)

    • 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 re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly 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.
