As topic i have started to get my car prepped for paint and looks like the guards and bonnet are no good.

some pics of the car getting some work done

Also chasing some chrome bits around the rear

Cheers Brad

P.S im sure everyone is chasing these parts just thought i would ask.

How much are you willing to pay? I know someone who I will see in about 3 weeks that I'm buying a guard from who might be able to help.

Also why does everyone cut the radiator support out when removing engines? I had no problem getting my L24 in and out with the gearbox attached when I had it, It did spill a little gearbox oil. . .

yeah why was the Rad support cut, i was thinking that.

Mine cam out NP as well

Lazy maybe??

Have ask Kent was like that when i brought it off him.Think it was while he was trying to fit a RB26.

How much is he chasing FG parts are about 1200 bonnet and 600 each guard.

Panel beater says he mite be able to get some.

Look at the dead dattos post, there is a wrecker in QLD with panels and bonnets. 240Kconvert might be able to find some good ones.

Brad what engine are you putting in it?

Buy the fibreglass from otomoto, the guards on restored.jp are 71,000 yen - $930AUD as of right now and bonnet 35,000 - $468 As I've said before i would be happy with restored fg just not the carbon.

I got another pair of Guards of Ben at Otomoto today so hope these ones turn out ok. Looks like the bonnet will have to be repaired which is ok.

Thanks for your help, go to see the car again on friday mite post up some progress shots then.

Cheers Brad

Don't ask.. it was done a LONG time ago - way back when i was putting in the RB20DET, cutting out the rad support was my uncles idea.. i came back to it having already been cut out..

Did you end doing the bodywork yourself? looking really good!
