RT-Performance's build on Wasso's car - Here's how we did it.

Many of you have heard the story.

It all began with a simple correction but when Ian came to drop off his car, this happened to him:

It was a hit and run and the damage was devastating.

Fortunately, Ian was safe and prior to arrangements with us, he had a car we could lend him to drive home in and to use through out the durations of the repairs.

 

Though the damage was substantial, the car was repairable and suffered only exterior superficial damage.

What was required was to transplant a new rear quarter panel, transplant a new door and repair the nismo skirts.

With the quarter off, the transplant begins.

Then the skirt rebuild

With the transplant done and the car stripped out, we then began with what it was originally here for. A full respray.

And for future investment, we rolled the rear arches too.

Then the final preparations for priming.

The colour remains Azure Blue. We selected the most common shade used and because the entire car is being sprayed the same colour, we wouldn't have to worry about colour matching no more.

Then a nice thick coat of clear coat and beaked
