Hello,

Most people call me Waz and I'm what you call a newbie to this forum. I live in Jindabyne, I'm a mechanic and fitter & turner by trade and I bought my dream car 6 months ago - R34 GTR which is not very standard - 305Kw atw and just shy of 600Nm, suspension, brakes, semis etc etc. I also have a cressida with a 1JZ that does 12's. I have worked on and modified cars all my life as my Dad used to have an engine building business (now retired but I have most equipment).

I took my car, for the first time, to speed off the streets at Wakefield last Tuesday and lapped consistent 1.11's and some 1.10's once I got to know the track a bit more - too fun and can't wait for more!!

Ciao

      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 re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly 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.
