The Old Smooth Garage Laurel

[4PLAYN]

I found this old girl really cheap and i just had to snap it up, my fascination with rarely seen cars is quite un-bearable!

this is what it used to look like and do!

When i got it, she had no engine in it, no interior and no good suspension parts.

I have since added coil overs, rear camber arms, a full interior and cleaned up the inside tenfold. My engine is on its way from japan which is a 72,000 km RB25DET manual from a R33.

anyways, this is what she looks like now.

at the moment she is still working on getting to the point of rego here in S.A. then it will be the fun part of modifying!

I would not mind seeing more photos or even videos of when this thing was drifting. I would also like to find out what modifications this thing had before it was sold.

at one stage it had a RB25DE engine with standard gtr twin turbo setup on it... made decent power then i think it went bang.
