That pic is f**ked up, i understand how your trying to show it how the panels would hang but it looks like everything is bolted to the roof.

Thx Ill take a look at Yahoo and glad you like the rust, had the car at a show some months ago and asked a guy if he saw Millenium Jade painted R33, he said "no but have you seen that rustbicket in the corner" :D

Hehe took that pic from a weird angle, then rotated it to get it to look better by some reason but every time i look at it i get nauseous :P

I'd suggest leaving the wheels as is (they look awesome) and instead fixing up the paint/panel (?) above the rear wheel...

^ +1

i know its been figured out, but hehehe

If anyone has any other color combo PLZ add, cause its really hard to choose! Not feeling anything over anything else right now :P

Photoshopped a version with Black lip/Jade spokes, added the other versions from the last post on page 1.

The wheels look like this right now :):

Im leaning more and more towards leaving them as they are right now but maybe i should implant the Kandy Apple Red somehow.. Kandy Red lip and grey spokes maybe... That would definitely stand out anyway, and probably just look like crap if i dont have the bonnet and trunk open :S But its tempting!

Just glad for your input!

No i guess it will look just to weird with the red lip :S!

None taken mate! It was an idea that got out of control i guess :rofl: I wanted to use real bolts but the glass fibre rear quarters beeing so thin made me choose to just glue them to the body. Then a mate of mine invited his friend that when he showed up proved beeing one of the best airbrush'ers in Sweden. I asked him if he could consider making bolt/pop's and then we shared ideas for a while which ended up in the final rusted pop's around the rear quarters and hood scoop ;)

Another thing i took in consideration was the fact that i didnt want a GTSt looking like a GTR-wannabe, with the quarters molded into the body :cool:

Me and some other friends sat down earlier today and disguessed what color to go with, and one of them thought that since the Jade-paint has got a small gold glow to it, same goes for the Kandy-paint, then why dont i gow with Gold lip/Black spokes OR the other way around? :)

mate hit up jessestreeter he can source some awesome wheels for you and if possible lose the fender gap.. the wheels just arent tough enough the body work you have done is all wide etc unles you get some killer fitment happening it will never look complete.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
