hi, i just bought an aftermarket 32 gtr front bumper to fit my 32 gtst though holding it up to the car it has at least a finger length of room between the guard and the end of the bumper either side. Is it worth stretching the fibreglass to fit and risk cracking it or have jetspeed given me a dodgy bar ,

if anyone has bought one, did u have the same prob?

We have a standard GTR front bar on the GTST, the bar is actually longer where it bolts (screws actually) up to the guards. This is becuase the GTR guards flare out more than the GTST, so the bar needs to be longer to fit. Are you sure you have it pushed right in at the front, over the bumper support?

:P

yeah but the sides where it screws in are at least 7cm away from the bar(sideways), though i was told today to heat up the fibreglass to allow it to bend in easier, my panelbeater is going to give it a go this weekend. Also are u using the gtst metal support(rio) or a gtr one behind the bumper?

      Rusty roof repair

      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 re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly 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.
