hahaha thanks for the tip :D

i do like my car to look good though, but not too over the top.

If you can find a good combination of a simple bodykit, nice wheels and small thiings that make that difference like clear indicators, painted calipers, tints etc then when all put together will look really good and get plenty of looks and attention.

I made a new boot for my gear box yesterday looks pretty cool, I am going to start doing the rest of my interior myself in white leather :D

Not sure if I should paint the dash white also?

What do you guys reckon I was thinking just doing the door panels and getting the seats done.

ouch... me bleeds to death slowly..

That can look great with the white leather.. if you've got the time go for it! White dash would look good too I reckon, if you clear coat it and things should come up really nice. Add some EL dials and should look much more modern.

can you retrim interiors? so you are gonna do your seats and doors?

that would look rank, ive always liked white leather but hard to keep clean. I wouldnt paint the dash bits white though, as i think it looks a bit cheap when contrasting between the leather and the black console pieces

I am going to get someone else to do the seats but will do the little things like trims.

Will see what it looks like before I do the dash, will be a while before i get the seats done though. Will probably just get some white seat cover for a while, Do you know where I can get some, like the snap-on style ones i have seen around?

    • 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.
