Mohsen finally bought a GTR.

[IMACUL8]

Well done - will follow your build with interest.

Keep us updated!

[Mohsen]

So, I've been a busy boy in between running a business, being an adult and shit like that.

 

so here goes!

since I last left off, I had gotten my hands on a wrecked shell and scavenged the parts I needed from it.

following this, we had the chassis rail pulled straight (with no resistance) and had the rest repaired.

thats when the fun started.

the car has been hit on that side before, hard.

this made unpicking a nightmare! But we got it done, it isn't pretty, but it's done. 

 

Painted the bay bay this week end, and now starts the assembly stage! We're getting closeeeeeeee

hnnnng that engine bay colour

[Mohsen]

Update:

progress has been slow, but we’re getting there

im still slowly accumulating parts, managed to pick up a really tidy steering wheel and original wing and not pay drug money, but more importantly, the car is now sitting at my panel beaters, waiting for the boys to have a crack at some body repairs and paint.

 

i can’t seem to find out which is the correct shade for the car, but it’s been smashed, repaired etc so f**k it. I’m going for the nicest TH1 there is, standard base with a lighter, greener flop.

same delicious TH1, with very very slight aqua tones at different angles 

 

We should start moving quickly from here, I hope.

I know, one small tear, but wheel with the horn and a genuine wing for $330!

How do people find stuff like this?

Presumably to get that price you had to swallow as well?

I still don’t know, ebay.. I saw them and just put my maximum bids in, someone had a go at the wing but nobody bothered with the wheel..

also picked up an R34 GTR intercooler, couldn’t be bothered paint stripping the original one lol

[Mohsen]

Long time no post, you’re all probably used to that by now.

the car is now at the panel shop.

 

it seems that one of the previous owners had tried to roll the guards and warped the steel above the arch, so I went ahead and gave them a proper roll.

the boys at the panel shop will fix this.

We’re going to begin repairing, rubbing etc this week end and hopefully have it painted in a few weeks.

i guess the great part of a close friend being your panel beater is that he wants it perfect.

so he made me rub the entire bay again.....?

[Mohsen]

Had all of the intake stuff apart and cleaned up.

gave it a coat of KL0 and clear, came up looking awesome.

 

also, found some crusty rust and bad repairs.

typical area around the tail lights, but the previous owner tried to pack it out with sikaflex...

[Mohsen]

I just had to take it all home and mock it up. Looks unreal! 

[funkymonkey]

looks hot! subscribed.

Good save well done buddy...

[Mohsen]

Hello friends, long time no post. 

I guess things really do take time when they’re done properly.

 

the car has had the required rust repairs and is now ready for high fill.

i know the bog looks bad but it’s only a skim of fine filler. Only so much the lads could do without replacing the quarter panels etc.

 

the car has had a bad quarter change in the past, with both panels lined up and filled with weld. I had the tedious task of cleaning the canyon and getting it prepped for brass, followed by some of weirdest filler I’ve ever seen- that fibreglass looking stuff is actually aluminium infused filler that is being used on bmws now!

take note of the rust hole on the pilar, it looks like this is a problem area on a few GTRs due to the location of the factory window trim clips holding dirt and moisture. This let water trickle down into the boot channel, and then down the beaver.

bought a set of rays gramlight 56crs in 18x10.5+12, yes, they’ll fit. I don’t care how it’ll drive, it’ll look shit hot haha.

Repairs are DONE! 

Body is in high fill!

engine bay in boot is looking f**king silky.

[Mohsen]

Old bent subframe out. 

New subframe in, with something a bit heavy ;)
