getting ready to pull it off the road to paint.....

But before i do want all the body panels i need etc.

If your getting it painted you could always get a fibreglass bonnet?

Just a quickie update

Have since bought a gtr bonnet for the car. also sold the RPF1s and went, well bigger RPF1s!

18x 9.5 +20 and 18 x 10.5 +15

Also bought a gtr standard lip, some F1 style mirrors and roof spolier.

And from the current group buy, rear carbon under diffuser, canards and ab flug under lip thingo for the front.....

Have also decided on a yellow, which is the VE i think GTS / monaro Holden yellow. As you can see some mates thought it would be funny to paint strips and numbers etc

Im now in 2 minds to either get some over fenders for the rear or try and lip the rears by around 20mm, then camber. still deciding.

trying to find some GTR rear seats at the mo and ill get the gtr front and rears re covered....

    • 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.
