Hey guys,

I have started to fix all the little things that annoy me on my R32. When i bought the car it came with a broken bonnet lever, I can still open it with pliers it seems the plastic surrounding has snapped off. How can i get this fixed and will it be hard to source the plastic part.

Thanks.

Hehe...

I'd leave it the way it is Richard... :down:

At least, if you're asked to pop your bonnet, a 'recently' broken lever is a more plausible excuse than an unbroken one, to not have to do it.

Then you'll have a story to tell us at SAU... :P

pfft. who needs a bonnet lever on an r32?? just stick a few fingers in the gap between the bonnet and the bumper, unless you have serious sausage fingers you'll be able to reach the cable, give it a quick pull outwards and the bonnet pops straight up. serious security flaw in the R32. if thats the only way you can access your engine bay then u might wanna leave it as is. otherwise anyone else with an r32 should zip tie the cable back to the frame so its unreachable

not something the authorities need to know, should you pull the "broken bonnet lever" excuse.

      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 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.
