Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

[25RBGT]

So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!!

unbelievable really 👌

lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time.

Howdy ~ got that wiper motor out, all good ....also, replied to your post in the R31forum wrt ashtray and rails ...but I've been away for a week, and getting home, that site's not responding, so posting here for FYI...

...also, our mate sold this place last week (that was a surprise to come home to), so we've got until Sept. or so to move out ~ needless to say, if you want any other bits off that R31 pinny donor, now's the time to claim them 😃

Good to see that carpet piece finding a home...that was a bit of a score 😎

[25RBGT]

Sorry solder been off line for a bit, still lots to move on too with the r31. 

yeah the wiper motor is a go for sure. 

wow September that’s pretty rude, do you think the interior loom is much different to mine? Of course I would need to swap the clock also as mine has a trip computer that doesn’t work haha

[dbm7]

..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)...

...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...

[25RBGT]

Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha

i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara. 
I will message you to get your bank details shortly 

[dbm7]

Yep, all good ~ the spare AC fan here, I think has a dead armature segment (I didn't pull it apart to verify, as there's plenty of AC fans out there that can be fitted to the R31)...I'll get some pics of the exterior trim pieces...

[25RBGT]

Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.

[dbm7]

Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok...

...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there...

Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎

[25RBGT]

I’m going Barra fishing with my mate this weekend coming so I could probably stop in at yours on the way back home maybe Sunday arvo or Monday morning.

[dbm7]

Sounds good ~ keep me posted

[25RBGT]

Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up. 
Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive. 
got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic 

[dbm7]

Do you still need the wiper motor and stuff?

I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club. 
I thought you fell off the earth or something haha. 
I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 

[25RBGT]

[dbm7]

Yeah, all good ...got your postal addy as well ; I'll box the stuff in the next couple of weeks, you can paypal me later..

[25RBGT]

Next week man, no rush on the postage 

[25RBGT]

Rust repairs completed, doors back on! pretty much totally back together running now. All future repairs will be fiddly wiring getting everything back up to road condition. 
hasn’t  taken that long considering the condition I got the sub.

note my helpers keeping the back seat warm 😂
