It's sad to see my old car chopped up like that but atleast it is going to be used for some good use. Are you using the whole guards or just the guard lips.

what was wrong with your old j smokn ???
for it to be chopped like that?
cheers josh
Rust in the rear of the car, I didn't see the use in getting it all fixed. I sold the car as a rolling shell with interior, i kept the running gear for my other car if i ever finish it. I think the best part of the car was the front end.

Dan has left school and is working so he can finally afford to do some things to the car. He has purchased a set of new guards from John Gong, they will arrive next week . He has also purchased (last night) two rear quarters. Over the last couple years we have collected most the parts to put the car back together and the plans for completion are for Toranafest 2013
So we are on the look out for a reasonable price panel beater who can fit guards and rear quarters.. So if anyone knows someone please PM me or Dan

Good, those guards were not worthy of a genuine GTR.
His apprenticeship is Motor Body Building?
So much more satisfaction doing it yourself if you can.

good to see that your going to have a go at this car. it's worth it.
i changed the rear quarters on my GTR and if you need a " how to guide " or advice then give me a pm about the best way to go
with the rear outer skin like this the wheel arch inners will have to be replaced as well in order to re from the lip - pretty sure it's would have been bashed out.
there's an easier way than taking the whole quarter off BUT you a good panel beater who can join metal.
IF the inners wheel arches were not touched then you could probably do this.
Anyway good luck with this it can be done.
