This happens to be an ongoing VERY expensive project :)

i bought this back in august 2010. i had 142,000 on the clock, no tax and 2 months MOT left, but it did come with a rather large folder of receipts, service history, previous MOTs etc etc.

one of the receipts imparticular was the engine rebuild at 130,000 and a new GT28R turbo...hence the purchase of the car :)

so yet again i will let pictures do most of the talking

By the way before you start looking the main plan is to change the colour of the car to matt black. this will be a fact. so keep that in mind with the other colour choices

Started to strip the car down

FMIC fitted in place

One side plumbed up

New battery

Battery in place

got the intercooler finished

then got bored waiting for parts in the post so i did this....

New steering wheel, gearknob, and hks air filter fitted.

New rad

Hoses

Stainless steel bits

more additions (again, not much I'm afraid)

new bumper

skirts

bumper again

not much addition to the bay apart from the rocker cover being lime green this time :)

wheels

screen and stickerbombed sections

criticise away folks!

plenty more to come though

strut brace painted and fitted today

i think to make the rocker cover look nicer, you should paint the nissan twin cam writing in red to match the other red parts?

looking sweet though dude will be nice when finished!

Love the sarcasm you little turd! I seen on fb your rack is finished?

This is cool... up untill you do it matt black anyway

You know what colour would work too well with that green... White!

Please please please dont go matt black.

You are correct there are wayyy to many White ones about... Especially the 14a and the 15's

It's just too common. I was looking at a Matt grey anthracitey colour. Either way the car will be Matt as Its easy to accomplish :)

Looking at a ball park figure of 300-350 when finished :)

Insurance is a bit of a bitch mind. Mines just tickling over 1000 bucks

Valid point, Silver would be equally as good

IMO, that jetta in the background looks cheap and tacky matt black and green.

Matt white... How many of those do you see?

Or matt silver

Matt Silver.

It works so well.

Go metallic too

I like the idea of Matt White I must say
