R33 black beast restoration

It all began over a week ago with cash in my hand after selling of my 2012 Holden Cruze. 

I had little cash and was expecting to buy a lemon or something jdm that needed repairs. 

The project was set into motion the day I inspected a black R33 manual that needed much attention to the body and other minor areas.

i paid the deposit and the listing was removed the day it was listed. I was not going to give up this opportunity. 

As the picture indicates, the door has faded clear and the roof pretty much needed a respray. Bonnet has faded clear and that gtr wing was going off for sale.

The car has LED tail lights and the body did not have any dents or needing major work. 

Gearbox and motor is mint condition. GTR front bar. 18" wheels. Hd clutch. Spare turbo (AR .70) gt 3582. Trust intercooler. Bov. Coil pack. Boost t. 3" exhaust to hks superdrager muffler. Full body kit and some spare parts. 

 

Will post repair pictures along with current state shortly.

Yeah until you realise how much wrongdoing has been applied.

There's zip locks holding one side of the front bar and duck tape holding the other side.

Mixed spark plugs, random dodgey coil and few other things that don't belong there only indicate to me that the owner literally installed whatever he could get his hands on. 

They say money can't buy brains, I get it now.
