Hi Craig with out giving to much away ( show & shine car sr plates ) not one for the traditionalist which is why i like your build thread .It has a lot of great information and detail in it and is something a little bit different from the every day build and as i said before keep the great work & information coming as i think i can say you have a lot of us clicking on to see what you have done . Great thread and ill keep following with great interest.

 

Cheers:- Stuart (Thomas dad) :wave:

Wow Craig mate you are amazing! and you can definitely tell this is not your first creation. I am only early in my build of a Street KE30 4 door, but I think I may incorporate some of your amazing ideas and use the motivation that I have gained from reading this thread to really hit 'Betsy' hard in the new year.

 

I especially like the pedal box and the reservoir placement.

 

Thanks mate, can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi Cleveland. I like your idea for a racing rolla show. It would be awesome to get everyone together to check out these cars.

Just looking at your dash. I remember making brass key plates like that but we used wood dowels. The wire brush is a great idea.

 

Thanks for the compliment Stuart. Ill be waiting for your new project.

 

Thanks Rob. Building or restoring cars is a lot of hard work and money, but also a lot of fun. Enjoy your self next year with Betsy.

 

 

Got the left flare on and started prepping the bonnet for fibre glass.

This car might end up being Rollaclub : Car Of The Century.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Reed.

There are a lot of very good projects on Rollaclub.

 

Fitting some led rear light clusters.

Tailamps are interesting, id try putting the surround back on and painting the filler plate black maybe, led lighting should be bright but!

I agree they look a little odd at the moment.

The plan is the rear panel will be black and when the boot lip and bumper are on they should,nt be so much "in your face".

The good thing is they wont fill up with dust and the gravel roads can't shake any bulbs to bits.

 

The rest of the body is being painted tomorrow.

Thanks Rob. Building or restoring cars is a lot of hard work and money, but also a lot of fun. Enjoy your self next year with Betsy.

 

I Know and I will just going to be a little strapped for cash over the next 12 months or so (2nd baby due early Jan) so will have to just get the body in tip top condition (for it basically wont cost anything lol). I'll be ecstatic if I can manage to sort out my diff (full R31 with disks/panard bar/brace etc that I found for $100) and my suspension. I figure work from the ground up and see where it goes. But thanks for the vote of confidence Craig, I will be following this thread closely and transferring some of your ideas to my road car (if you don't mind that is).

Don,t mind at all Rob.

 

Last coat of primer is on.

Thanks Craig for our daily fix as this thread has become a daily addiction LOL keep the great work up and any hint as to color or do we just wait and see ???.

 

 

Cheers:- Stuart ( Thomas dad ) :wave:

Nothing flash for color. Just plain old rally car white.

Should look good when the signage and graphics are on.

Lookin good, this is gettin me keen to see mine painted, long way off yet for me, maybe a year or so haha, keep up the good work

Cheers Justin.

 

Its getting close to the expensive bits. Engine, computer, wiring and all the little bits that add up.

I took to many photos at this point. Here are a few more.
