Hi Cara - back (after only 3 days forum fast! ) Thanks for the pics - tell hubby to save time and effort and just a brand new reshell and hang the old bits off it - save him about 3years of his life doing it! Looks good actually has he been putting 2 pence pieces in the door jams while he welds the hinge back on to get the alignment! Nice project for him then and lots of tuning potential with that engine - also I see its the lovely chrome bumper model pre that ugly rubber bumper one they had to do for the states - (sorry shutting up now - just tipping the dandruff out of my anorak!) good luck with it and your next job etc - welcome back to the forum That's old pics Cara and no I havent got as far as the A Post yet which will is getting completly replaced. The shell is braced at the minute and so far I have replaced the front drivers side inner wing and web. Next its the pass side inner wing , web and front panel. Been busy with other cars and a honeymoon recently , will hopefully get some more done this time home. Re-shell is cheating. I'm doing it the hard way lol The project is just a sideline that I aqquired recently. No rush to get the car finished. She's a 1275 A Series engine and yup your right its the chrome bumper model. Oh and the Saxo VTS runaround was my choice!

Thanks for all the congratulations and kind words Cara was a stunning bride and I'm a very lucky man!! We had a fantastic day and everything went to plan thanks to Cara's hard work organising everything. :-D

Ordered a set of Eibachs yesterday from CS and they arrived less than 24 hours later to my house in Aberdeen. CS - Definetly cracking service. Thanks again mate.

Any pics of your set up?

I am currently looking at some options for a new set of alloy wheels and tyres. I quite fancied 18x9.5 all round with a +20 offset to get the look I wanted but I cannot get them. Been offered a package 18x10 ET15 with 255/35/18 front, 255/40/18 rear. Any thoughts on this? I am assured this set up goes on fine by a very reputable company. Any advice welcome.

First dibs on the springs and CAI. PM Sent.

I will second that it was Gourlay.

I owned a Nissan Skyline R33 GTSt for almost five years. Which I took through a variety of guises. Dont be put off by a GTSt as everyone allways immediately thinks GTR. My GTST could do 180mph and it did the 1/4 mile in 11.0 secs. When I bought her she was originally painted in rage flip paint which I soon changed as show in the next few pics. House of Kolor kandy gold. Here's the engine bay Here's my old Skyline on route to its new home in Holland with her new paint and kit. House of Kolor again of course. Any Skyline questions pm and I will try and help.

We should be free - 21st/22nd - 28th/29th

Welcome to the site Herbie! Good to see a familiar face , glad you saw sense and got rid of the Audi and bought a 350.

Welcome to my better half!!

Bleed nipples snap all the time. All it takes is a bit of patience and it can be removed. I'm pretty sure any decent garage can remove a bleed nipple.

I'm sure he didnt mean to leave you all out! Well I am a newbie to the Z world so be good to find out all about the car and what works and what doesnt. I have been a Skyline owner for the last 4 years.

He's allready asked me for a drive about next week! haha Should be fun! Stew's ears must be burning with all the mentions on this thread haha

Thanks for the welcomes folks! Certainly seems like a friendly forum!! Adam - Stew let me see some pics you took and there superb!!
