R324 skyline, done differently, photo heavy

So 3 years into owning this R32 gtst type M I'm still on the fence as to whether I want to sell it and move onto a new project or keep it as its one of the most unique cars in the UK.
I bought the car back in 2020, it was already converted to the R34 front and had just had all the rust taken care of and properly undersealed. I originally bought it with the intent on reverting it back to a R32 front end and probably at the time a do luck body kit... But here I am 3 years later with a different R34 front end, mainly because I like the fact its pretty much one of one. The Bee*R type 2 front wings are pretty rare I think and over the years I've built the car to my own look inspired from the early 2000's Bee*Racing B324R D1 car.
I guess I'm making this thread because I'm loosing interest In the build and maybe putting everything I've done down somewhere will help inspire me to carry on.... Or inspire someone to offer me a sensible amount of money or a rx7 for it. I will always listen to sensible offers as there are other projects I'd like funds for.
So I'll put some photos up of how it looks now and then I'll add in photos and posts from the day I bought it up till how it is now...

I think the 1st thing I did was tidy up the interior. The car came with no rear seats or trims and a stripped out boot. Just some random seats I think might of been s14 seats. I managed to get the corbeau clubsport bucket seats from my previous 180sx build and some yellow speed harnesses for a good deal and I also got some materials to re trim some of the grey tired interior. I retrimed the headlining in a black alcantata material and trimed where the rear seats should be with some black camper van carpet I found on ebay. While I had all the roof trims and the sun visors off I painted the plastics in satin black and dyed the grey cloth sun visors black. I think I also got the tomei shifter at this point aswel.

Next up was the seibon carbon bonnet, pandem spoiler and Z-Tune front bumper and some old spoiler holes welded up in the boot, then had the boot, spoiler legs and front bumper painted...
I ordered the bonnet from seibon in America on their website as it said in stock, they called me from california the next day and told me it was missing from the warehouse and they refunded me the money. The following day they called back and said they had located the bonnet.... It was at amber performance here in the UK. A quick phone call to amber performance, who had no idea they had the bonnet in stock, they had a search around and sure enough the bonnet was in their warehouse so they had it shipped next day to me.

When I bought the car It had the Bee*R type 2 front wings already which made the front slightly wider than the rear. Also the last small area of rust to address was on the stock rear wheel arches so out came the grinder and welder. I cut out the rust and made the wheel wells bigger then welded it up, seam sealed, primed, painted and then undersealed along with reundersealing the rest of the rear wheel wells. I wanted to get full overfenders but no one had any for sale at the time so I settled for some 25mm wider ep racing over fender panels. I drilled and rivited these on as my plan for these arches was always temporary till I could get some full rear quarter panels.
