It will be painted the same factory colour (258) and will probably have semi gloss black flares. I look at every silver car on the road and think would that colour look better though. Inside is silver but doesn't have much gloss to it.

Adz, I actually haven't been billed yet so I can't tell you but will pm you when I find out.

The shell came back from blasting yesterday and it seems to be quite straight with no major rust and no accident repairs. They used soda on the large flat area's and I think garnet In the bay, boot and underneath, I didn't get inside done because it is still really tidy and would only create more unnecessary work. Although the previous rust repairs were plated and not bogged they are not good enough to achieve a file finish so will have to be redone. Surprisingly there's no rust around the rear window and very little around the front window.

Sorry mate, I don't think I have any close up pics but on the front above what you can see in the pic is a piece of angle iron approx 200mm long on each side facing downwards picking up the front crossmember bolts under the chassis rails. On the back it simply has a piece of 75x75 tube bolted between the factory cradle mount studs then some 50x50 legs and some 10 or 12mm plates to bolt the wheels to. 240k style- That's the guy restoring my cars daily, It's pretty awesome! He also has another one with a 650+hp RB26.

Today I dropped the C110 off at a local Resto place to get this project moving along a bit faster. It will be soda/sand blasted in the next few weeks so it will be interesting what secrets are hidden beneath the nice looking paint.

It seems to be solid under there other than a bit of rust in the rear arches, there's also some rust in the front passenger corner of the bonnet but the rest of the bonnet seems good, the bootlid will also need some rust repairs done under where the stainless trim goes. Around the windows seems to be extremely solid with just some pitting around the drivers side lower front in a couple of spots but no holes. Adz, the jig is rather dodge but works . It picks up the front crossmember bolts and rear cradle bolts and tilts slightly to throw the weight over the base loop. The main problem with it is A. I made it out of galv pipe that isn't really strong enough (it was free) and B. It needs more support at the rear of the car because I can lift the front of the car up with one hand which isn't ideal.

Keep up the great work!

The fibreglass stuff is pretty good but not perfect and will need a little bit of work to get just right. There overall finish is good with minor waves that can be easily fixed but there are small gaps in between the flare and panel in places, these would be 3mm or so and there is one spot that is a 4mm gap so this will need building the edge of the flare out a bit to sit closer to the panel or maybe remove some material from the flare where it's touching to bring it closer if possible. They also definitely need rubber inbetween the flare and the panel to help hide any small gaps and to stop the flare rubbing the paintwork even though I don't think the genuine GTR's did.

I got the flares, grill and rear spoiler through OTOMOTO

Great work as usual!, keep the updates coming...

Adz, I've removed the gas system and it will be staying out:), It's left quite a few holes in the bodywork though but they will be fixed before it gets painted. It will be getting triple carbs on a L series of some sort but i'm not sure how serious the engine will be at this stage.

Slight progress...

Wow, they look absolutely perfect

It doesn't work, one of the wires has come off the bulb holder and needs soldering back on otherwise is probably should.

The fender mirrors are now on. A mate made this short Video of the lights and rear garnish installed, it's pretty average but I thought i't post it anyway. I'm not sure why it's so jerky.

Just found this, I never realised it had Nissan on it before because it was really dusty. Before seeing Mastadd's pic I thought it was just some cheap aftermarket thing :stupid:

This is the tool kit out of the boot of my coupe, i'm not sure if it's the correct one or complete though.
