Ants Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Today was a big day and got lots done. First up the rear wheel arch got some TLC smoothed out all the dodgy spot welds then I filled in the gaps with some selleys autofix to ensure no rust decides to set in pretty handy stuff Then preparation time. I wiped the wheel arch with some prep wash to remove any dirt and grease Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/25/#findComment-7236668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ants Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Then more preparation work Got my big trusty making tape out and..... neatly taped around the wheel and inside the wheel arch as well Then I attached some newspaper to protect the inside from any unwanted paint spatters. I also covered the rear brakes with an old work shirt that I no longer use Now we are ready for painting I acquired this paint can from super cheap and is the recommended paint for Nissan between 1984 onwards Nissan crystal white yeah Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/25/#findComment-7236682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ants Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Next step was to get RHS N1 side-skirt back on Photo of corrected bodywork without side-skirt just for the hell of it I then gave the side skirt a quick wipe down from all the dust it had gathered the past few months and then applied som Sikaflex Next I gently made sure I put the side skirt back to where it belongs On the car Again I used clamps to ensure the side skirt sits flush against the car The excess Sikaflex will eventually just be peeled of after it's dried Like so The car is finally starting to come back together 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/25/#findComment-7236704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ants Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 I also thought I would take the opportunity to follow a trend happening with some builds FTM and detail the inner door cards with CARBON VINYL WRAP! Do first up Clean you're door card as it has collected a fair bit of dust over its time Then unscrew the back of the inner door pocket Make sure you don't remove the factory glue at the bottom of the inner door pocket card I got hold of some 3M carbon vinyl wrap from eBay for about $36 but you.can get it from super cheap about the same price the length I got it for Then just measure and apply carefully You do not need to cover the entire infer door card as the edges are not visible with the inner door card I also wrapped the side open edge for more strength but is not mandatory Then just bolt everything back up and admire you're work That's it for now.....more to follow soon 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/25/#findComment-7236711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
