You must be damn excited to have it back looking soooo good... with all the dodgy stories I hear about panel beaters, it actually looks like you found someone to do an A1 job

can't wait to check it out in the flesh... and pick on any imperfections I can find because I am terribly jealous and insecure...

Thanks ALL!

I am soooo glad/happy to get such good feed-back from everyone, makes the wait that much more worth while. Having said that i truely do NOT want to go through it again.

From day one i had a look that i wanted to create on the car, and done/bought various things, while the car was being painted. It all has come together nicely and i couldn't be happier.

Best news was when i went to get the allignment done, once i got the car back from my mechanic. Centre Line measured it all up (camber/caster/toe) and confirmed that the settings were just as they set them, 3 months b4 the accident, and they didn't even charge me for the half hour :D

Engine bay has coped a little work too :), but i will wait till all parts are installed b4 posting any pics. Nothing too major/obvious.

Front bar is already chiped due to the drive to Shepparton, but there is plenty more chips to come :D. Did consider a car-bra but am not convienced that the bra itself would not mark the paint from all the rubbing and vibrations. I have spare paint so i prefer to respray the front bar when the time comes.

Anthony, i am "on-call" all weekend and next week, so i will give ya another call at a later date.

YAY

Congrats Al - the car does look awesome.

I had the privelage of seeing this car on a certain skidpan in Shepparton recently - the sun does look awesome on the paint.

PS. And remember, I did prove ya wrong by being able to drive it.

You also proved you could drive my car much better than Malcolm can :uh-huh:

Was really surprised, even in my intoxicated state of mind :D.

They are the same rims i had on previously, just powder-coated in Steel pearl.

My god that looks hot! Well done :D The overall look is bordering on perfection :)

Wheres the 'Skyline' light? Are you gonna put it on?

The 'SKYLINE' rear facia is sitting in my bedroom, all painted with lettering all etched out. The LEDs are in the shed, mounted on a PCB board and working. All i need to do is mount the board to the rear of the facia and seal the whole thing, but i have been lazy :(.

It will be done, soon :D , and will be nice and bright with 16 red hi-intensity LEDs :)

The car was sprayed in North Coburg, on Bakers Rd. Not 100% but i think the name of the shop is John(maybe: Ron) Mace Pannels; i am bad at remembering names :). Door jams done, windscreens/windows removed, etc. Boot and engine bay was left the factory red-oxide colour. The colour is very different to std, especially in the sun.

Wheels are Lenso Muse, 19x8 all round, don't know the offset.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
