Brilliant project lad. Mental the way you can do all the bodywork yourself!

Where abouts in N. IRELAND you from?

Belfast buddy. Yourself?

Can do everything but the welding, getting a friend to help out with that.
Everything else though, if you have a bit of mechanical know how you'd be surprised just read up on it before hand if your not sure.
Had a couple of skylines before this and done all mechanical work to one, the other all body work so with this its just doing everything as it wont be going anywhere.

Well, got the new arches and I have to say I'm pleased with them!

Started off having to clean the fecking garage yet again!!

Got it all cleaned up including Smokey himself and trial fitted the carbon bonnet, its seems ok... new arches to see how the look...

And the bonnet...

So tomorrow going to cut out the rust parts and treat in behind it.
Picked up a mig welder from a buddy so its nearly good to go on the welding front ;D ;D

Eventually getting these up .....

So a buddy came down on Saturday to get these put in for me and if the welder I had got a lend of wasn't dung then it would have all been done!

So they are all cut out, ready to get welded in once I've the smaller sections that need filled in cut out to size and then get it all done in one sitting!

To say I'm chuffed with it so far and how it looks is an under statement!

Initial cut to the use the airsaw to fit properly

Psgr side all ready to get welded up in properly

Driver side the same. just some spot welds to hold them in place so nothing happens them and they keep their shape

Again, big thanks to Dave, dude got skills!
