had to make a part 2 to the build thread as the fist one is has maxed out on pictures I can add!
Link to the first build thread is here if you want to have a nosey
https://www.driftworks.com/forum/threads/r33-v8-build.256185/
So after the wheel test fit it is back on the stands she goes for more welding
And back in the air!
Time to cut out more rotten sills and mounts
And rebuild inner sills middle an outer all rebuilt/replaced
As said previous not the worlds tidiest welding but it is strong that's all that counts!
That's about it for now! Hopefully update again in the coming weeks!
This feels like a never ending game of welding!
Still need colour ideas too! Any help will be greatful!
Been a long time since I updated this!
I’m not going to bore you with more welding and sills replacement and patchwork!
The gtr boot/spoiler has gone replaced with KR fibreglass flush fitting boot
Rear nudge bar/jack bar is being rebuilt so bare with me on that one .
Also managed to pick up some vented front wings and jun side skirts quick test fit before stripping her down for painting now I have decided on a colour!
Inside has all been red oxided and the underseal done!
Underside red oxided and under sealed
Bucket seats mounted (not mounted in pics)
Then everything stripped down ready for paint
Quick coat of white primer and a flat down, yes it’s painted on the driveway as I don’t plan on keeping the paintwork clean for long! Especially with practice this year with Oliver Evans on the local track
And boom as if by magic the minion r33 banana boat appeared
Waiting on a few parts and materials for the exhaust system so made a start on a job I have been putting off for a long time
Cutting back the loom and getting rid of redundant wires
Believe it or not this was the second pile
Finally a lot less wires
That’s pretty much it for now! A lot more to come over the next couple of weeks will up date this as and when I can
