^^ Needs to drive an Evo. lol.

Or a Volvo XC90... 5 cylinder slung sideways between the front wheels aint great... Especially when there is room for an in-line 6.... :yes:

I threw in my 2 R32 GTR Seats, a Whiteline rear swaybar and cleaned her up real nice. Still need to source some 14mm tubing to upgrade the brakes. That's next on the list.

Cut out and cleaned up the rust from the front doors, what a mission. Passanger side chased all the way down to the body line, so a lot of bare metal that needed renewing. Then when I went and got the paint made up it is completely different, looks more champagne than white. Next it is going to JLM for the front shafts to be replaced. Just need to wait for the merc to come back from the panel beaters before dropping of the beast.

Wired up and installed my Ganador mirrors this morning. And also got around to polishing up the HKS exhaust which I will get put in this week. Now to find someone to put in the coilovers.

Finally reunited with mine last Tuesday after 2 months off the road.

Now sporting a rebuilt transmission from Kewish. Never realised how much I enjoyed my until I had to drive a 2" raised Prado for a couple of months (good car, but that handling :()

    • 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 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite 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.
