This is the one you had to put the original guards back into too isn't it? Weren't they flared or similar?

I think this is that car, quite a job I bet, if this is the one, you pulled it off nicely HSV484!This is the one you had to put the original guards back into too isn't it?
Looks like you've put some serious time into the bodywork, is this the one that is being painted Gunmetal or am I thinking of another car?

I think it sure did.... 
Its looking great hsv484. Its good to see that you have been taking pictures along the way. They are really good to look back on once youve finished.

Yer these GTR are geting long in the tooth as everybody knows
You cant,t expect them to still have all of the spot welded lugs still
intact.. because of rust and panel replacenent.etc.
My gtr had left hand door skin fited a one stage of it,s life
No lugs, there were screws holding the chrome on there.
you can get a welder that puts them back on though/
most p/b have em still

Easier way is to get some special rivets from a company called WURTH when you clamp the rivet and the shaft breaks off it leaves a shoulder for the plastic clip to slid under they also sell the clips as they supply panel beaters with them.
They also sell all the clips and plastic cups for door trims etc
