what kind of body work Bob?

[Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR]

Here is the brief so far........

• Bit of rust at the bottom of the driver's side rear qtr panel. Size of a 1c piece if any on you can remember what they look like!
• Replace driver's side rear qtr window and inspect for rust.
• Re-do poorly repaired paintless dent also on driver's side rear qtr panel,
• Remove, paint and re-fit driver's side skirts.
• Remove both front and rear windscreens, fit new fasteners and moulds. (Already sourced).
• Replace passenger side taillight. (Hairline crack, also already sourced).

this is more like restoration / repair

You should of created a restoration buil thread Bob

Not really......... It's mainly the driver's side rear QTR that needs work.

Quite common on 32's for some reason.

I'll book it in for August 18, just after the 25th Anniversary weekend.

quite common??? Most R32s are riddled with rust.

It is not until you start looking deeper that you find it.

Considering the age of the cars it is only natural that rust eventually sinks in.

Glad you are doing something about it though

ADM's don't rust, mine is clean as a whistle

[Marko R1]

Maybe the snow with JDM's are more susceptible to rust, now I sound like an ADM tosser

[Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR]

+1........ My ADM is fine too!

[r32-25t]

Depends where in Japan it lived and how soon it came over, mine got here in 2001 and I haven't found any rust yet

come and see me I will find rust. Trust me I have an eye for this

Especially rear wing stay brackets and rear bumper brackets corrode like mad, even in Australia.

We are one gigantic island, with most of us living along the coastline so rust will happen just a matter of time - just need treat it before it gets to you

[Marko R1]

Honestly, nothing on mine. Lives in the garage off the coast

I had 3 under 2 and a half........

Boy first then twin girls......

Boy is nearly 25 and girls are 22.

I didn't have time to scratch myself.

I know the feeling Bob.

I recently bought a ralliart magna which also pulled me away from my GTR, fun daily driver but it's a magna

But it gets better as they get older - it's the first 4-5 years that can be demanding

My 4 yo daughter is not only beautiful but amazing

Recently I have been taking her to club events with me and she loved it and lives being in the GTR

She also likes to help me when I work on the GTR.

The passion I have for the car is so obvious that it's becoming a passion for her and that just puts a huge smile on face

I only have girls but if they get involved with Motorsport at some stage then that will be amazing - if they don't well U don't care because they will always be my amazing little girls
