Hi guys,

Thought I would share some pics of my new car. Unfortunately had to sell my Astra but I'll be back. Got this Skyline in DBN for R19k. Lots of little things need to be fixed mostly in the interior, but for an '83 model car, it's in pretty good nick. Motor's perfect, but has been sprayed a yucky dull red colour. I'll add more pics when I take them.

Awesome car, I would probably being drifting with it now or doing doughnuts with it :respek:

IMO I would remove those spots on the grill and the silver trimmings on the front and rear lights for a more clean look.

Yeah I'll be getting to cleaning it up a bit shortly. The spots are needed for now as the headlights are crap. Spots are gone after I manage to get HIDs. I'm taking most the chrome off, never liked that stuff... Oh and if tyres for that thing werent R1000+ each I'd also be going mad... :munch:

yeah the problem with jacking is the car seems to ned a new floor in places but not really bad condition, just the metals going soft and a little bit rusty in small patches... Took me 6 hours to get it out. Had to jack one wheel at a time under the suspension moving around the car 3 times putting a piece of wood under each wheel each time.

Now the box is out, and some c### glued it vas to 'stop a leak' and its stuck... cant get the sealent to loosen up so I cant even open the damn thing...
