Man... that thing is in SAD shape! I bet he still paid a ton for it!

Hopefully you can get it looking respectable again. Those things are such nice cars when they're not falling apart!

[9DUBWISE]

Tear down is complete!!



Note no rear rebar?!?!?



Dude said finding those rims was like finding Hoffa's body!





No front rebar to mount intercooler?!?! Dangerous!!!



My CB in the background







See the Rear steering rack and huge exhaust!!

Now time for bondo and to fix the bumpers, side skirts and spoiler. Rage bondo, Duramix fast set plastic repair and 3M flexable bumper repair kit.

More to come!!!

cant wait to see progress on this. this isnt my favorite body style, but i love skylines!

wow thats in sorry shape, but I've seen much much worse here in Alberta. That's what happens when stupid kids import these beautiful cars and just trash them.

My buddy has a 91 Skyline GTS-t just like in your photos, and his is near immaculate with only 130k km.

I guess I am just odd but those cars do nothing for me

[crazymikey]

Drive one and you'll say different.

[wed3k]

Body work done. Sending the body to paint.

[9DUBWISE]

Now the real pain in the ass!!!! Ft bumper. This thing is screwed. Had to remove all of the old shitty repairs. Couldn't finish it Friday. But will on Monday.







This thing is kicking my ass but Monday is a new day.

He wont buy a better one. Found 1 for $475 in UT. My shop stated there is no warranty on the bumper repair But I want it perfect Still not done with it with all the other jobs we have. Tryin to get it done so I can put it together before I move to Texas.

[9DUBWISE]

Finally finished the bumper at 2:00pm today. You cant tell by looks, only feel. Pics..











Tedious ass shiznit!!

[9DUBWISE]

The car has sat for a week and a half in paint prep. The painter said he might paint it tomorrow morning. If so then I will get it after lunch and start reassembly. FINALLY!!!!!!
