Finally, 2 years after my car rolled into the panel shop

Posted April 20, 201113 yr

NEVER tell a panel beater to take his time. 23 months in the making.

Now the fun part, puting it all back together So much more money to spend. Only problem with new paint is everything else has to be brought up to standard.

Man I love my JDM tail lights

PM me if you have a bonnet popping cable or some extractors. Thanks to my fellow ANZACS I already have a mint dash top from Melbourne.

Do you have all the clips, and just need cleaner examples? If so why don't you get them plated? I don't know about sources down under but Norm at Zedsaver does some nice work...I don't know what postage would set you back.

How bad are yours? From the pictures, why not just have them acid bathed and zinc plated. That's what I'm doing. Yell out if you need a hand, I'm about to do mine

easy to get out. I only have these clips as the most decent ones, pretty much rusted completely. I need at least two more middle ones and one more end one if I am to use the ones I have. I would rather have better condition ones

I here what your saying about the body shop. I made the mistake last June of saying "take your time" when I dropped off my Z. I've started a big push a couple weeks ago to try to get it out of the shop in under a year. Skyline looks great!
