    Got it in the garage on Sunday and set to with my DW 4arm kit.

    Front bushes on the diff changed

    Image

    Stripped it out to take more wheels for my jollydays to pod at the end of march. (sh*t pic)

    Image

    Carbon canister was only half plumbed in after some of the pipes got into my fan.

    Image

    Feck off!!!

    Image

    Once my driftworks cs2 coilovers arrive on Wednesday I'll stick them on, roughly align it and get her down to the body shop on Friday for slam panel fitting. Then fmic and a full alignment. :)

    Cs2s are fitted, F**K me theyre good :)

    Next was slam panel, finally! Stripped it down friday night so the panel beater could get her cut out and welded in on saturday morning.

    Image

    Image

    This was the good side, it was fully F**K like...

    As the morning went on my mate kept sending me pics of progress.

    Image

    Image

    Image

    Image

    The guy is good, had it off, cleaned up, straightened and welded in by 10:30 :)

    Built it back up saturday night, with new uk spec headlights to replace the nasty jap spec ones i had and my smooth front bumper:)

    Image

    More pics soon but need to get it ready for pod yet.

    Also bought a new rear subframe to rebush and build up with my z32's etc.

    She's looking mighty fine there Mr Warby!! Grids deffo suit the car nice! What colour are you going with them now?

    Lots of pennies getting spent on shiny stuffs there and the front mount intercooler is looking sweeeeeeeeet!!

    Keep up the good work!!
