As far as I am aware the car has also been in a accident of some sorts recently. I dont know the full details but I would speak to bambam privately about it. Before anyone flames me for it I think its only fair as manual did ask for the history on this vehicle.

manual - I think that you'd best ask bam about it. he's an honest guy.

I dont think that starting a thread on an internet forum about a guy is a particularly good way to buy a car.

After reading this and then re-reading the original post i can see a way to misinterperate what i was trying to achieve - it wasn't my intent

cheers again all - hopefully i can cruise with you lot in a new line REALLY soon!!

Hey Manual,

 

You don't happen to drive that Silver Magna with the plates [MANUAL] do you ?

Currently yes - but I am hoping to put those plates onto a Black line in the near future!!

I believe we cruised together at one stage - if you are part of the RICE guys!!

I got into the 14's up the strip in a FWD Family car - but now i want something a lot quicker, RWD, an yeah - a lot more sexy looking :P

Insurance Broker is the way to go ...... i checked out Just Car n Famous ...... $2.8K i dont think so ..... went thru insurance broker got fully comprehensive for less than what i pay on my parents policy. Funny thing is the insurance company they signed me with CGU i rang them an hour before the Brokers rang them and they said they dont insure imports ...... so going thru a broker definately will open up doors.

Oh - and i check Bam's car in about and hour!!

      Rusty roof repair

      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.

      Rusty roof repair

      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.
