Yeah, i was watching the Exa closely. They reversed back to get a better look at it making me feel uneasy. I was just out of their sight. I'm not saying they were scoping it out or anything, but it would be hard to tell enthusiasts from theives if you get my drift.

I've only taken my car out a few times (with the parents of course, ususally them driving) but i'm worried about where it's parked all the time. I always come back to it and check it over to see if anything has happened to it. Today i was in Queenbeyan and had some kids on skate boards eye off the car. i ended up coming back out to check the car again to make sure it was ok.

I've heard of too many people getting their cars damaged or having parts stolen from them, and it makes me somewhat paranoid as i'm sure are most Skyline drivers. Its sad that we live in a society where some people can't respect others property but oh well... that's my rant for the day :)

Yea.... Guys you have to watch your cars.

There are alot of bastards out there..

Bout 3-4weeks ago i got my car keyed.. Outside the front door of Vikings in Erindale.. Im talking right at the door.

Because of the pearl paint job, its not an easy one to patch up.

Its all got to do with JEALOUSY... so It does really cost to have nice cars, in alot of ways.

    • 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.
