[g72s20]

Here 'tis

5 bids, 2 days to go ~$100 aussie.

Just what you need for that '73 GT-R replica ....

[Gee]

Where's Lachlan?

[g72s20]

"Where's Lachlan?"

My thoughts exactly...

Just looking at a normal woodgrain finished one on Yahoo Japan, doesn't look like it would be too difficult to turn it into the aluminium finish?

Badges? we don't need no stinkin' badges!

Some nice stuff on Yahoo at the moment isnt there!

Thanks for sharing! Pity is, I've already got the dash fascia, and Skyline rear quarter badges Missing those darned GT badges though. It wouldn't be such a problem, but the GT-R "GT" badges were actually red. Yellow was the 2000GT-X, blue was 2000-GT and the rarest of all - green - was from the 2000GTX-E. If I remember right...

If you're after some side "Skyline" badges, the ones from the C210 are ALMOST identical to the C110 ones. And you can find C210's everywhere (relatively). In fact, there are a set of the Skyline badges (and a spare!) on ebay at the moment:

See if you can spot the difference

Edit: What's a Vidiot????

[Gee]

..its a movie starring Wierd Al from the 80's, but also has heaps of other comedians in it that are now very famous - one of which is Kramer. Very funny and definately worth chasing down on video from the video shop.

Supplies!!!!!

Vidiot Went under a few different names UHF it was called in america.

It was Badgers in that movie:

The line was first used in a movie in 1948 - The Treasure of the Sierra Madre:

Yahoo Japan only needs your user ID to view an auction AFTER it's ended. The dash fascia went for 11500 yen. That's about $145. I stole the picture from the auction and attached it here in case you wanted to know what it looked like

I think it would have been a good buy - it looks to be in near-perfect condition.

Of course, a common thing the Japanese did was take the faux woodgrain panel off, and spray-paint it silver. Doesn't look exactly right, but good enough from a distance.

The set of badges (also attached) went for 3700 yen. That's about $46. They were missing a few pins on the back though...

Finally, the spoiler went for 4200 yen, which is about $53. Definitely second-hand, but for the price sounds like a bargain! Unfortunately for us, it's the shipping which kills...
