Hello all just thought I would share with you guys my new project!

It needs quite abit of work though. Mainly body work to be fair. It needs a new drivers sill welded on and a little bit just under the car.
The paint work is absoloutly terrible but underneath is a very nice gun metal grey colour (if any one knows any good tricks to get to it then please let me know :))
There is much I can say at the minuite but I'll be cracking on with it over the next few weeks so will be very picture heavy soon!

(Any help appreciated)

Thanks all :):):)

Why thankyou :) and they are very underrated and not a great deal left on the road now! And on the up side belonged to some old fella who owned it for 12 years and it's only got 93,000 miles on it! :)

Anything with pop up headlights is cool!
Hopefully I'll see you drifting soon

[Dale_]

Haha thanks :)

And I'm debating wether to drift it or not, I know it would be a sin not to, but the amount of money I'll be putting into it, I don't wuna ******* it all up because i loose control or something haha

And the list of things I'll be doing hopefully within the next month.....

First thing I need to do is weld up the drivers side sill and a few other patches.

Then I'm going to be painting it in a gu metal gray plasti dip, with a glossifier over the top. And a few bits and bobs in orange.

And then I'll be doing a manual conversion. Lucky for me I got the whole conversion kit with the car so thatl just be a point of swapping them over with the correct wiring loom and such.

And once all that is done I'll be playing about with turbo inter cooler etc..... :)

Don't use shitty plasti dip. I like the colour scheme you're going for though

I was thinking only as a tempory measure until I get enough money for a full paint job... It's abit of a hard choice atm though haha. But I just can't drive it around looking like that..... Lol any other cheap ideas? :)

Hello back again with a little update

I havnt had a lot of time on my hands to do anything to the nissan (also trying to keep the mini going as a daily aswell) haha but had abit of time of work today so decided to spend some money's....!!!

I purchased 4 k and r suspensions legs with 30mm drops on them. Some new hubs with studs and nuts for 20 quid! I do love a good bargain ;) haha

But didn't get to finish it all today and just took a few more photos of how bad my suspension really was

So there are just a few more photos below :) I have a week off from the 15th and I'm going to dedicate it to this car so that's when the real updates will come

(If anyone is following this lol)
