I think some of it could just be edges. However that on by the boot rubber is in between the seams, as in I had to seperate the 2 pieces of metal to get the rust in between them. should I POR15 or will primer and paint be good??

The following are all from the boot, since that is the only are that I can easily see, however I don't doubt that other parts of the car will differ much. the white in this photo is where I've sanded down and primed, its where the boot rubber sits. and from the engine bay

There seems to be alot of rust in the seams almost everywhere. So I don't know how this will turn out, prob depends on how hard the rust will be to get rid off.

Umm, not really sure what you mean, but I assume your talking gearbox. If that's the case then yup its a factory 5 speed. Driftflation prices?? scored this for 2.8 and Eliot?? Depends what you mean by awsome. Current future plans are keeping it DE and working on suspension and brakes, making it handle and stop awesomely. but hey, open to suggestions ( dont be a cone ) I guess. oh yea, SQUARE HEADLIGHTS!!! none of this cefiro projector crap.

Appears to be wavy in panel. ahh some very good points I missed. Manual, non turb CA with about 170k on the clock

up on trademe for 700 no reserve http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... 96&ed=true Regards

Sweet so picked up the silvia today. Not as pristine as I thought it would be, however, not everything in life is. Things that are wrong with it: Needs new front rotors as LF is scored by about 1mmX1mm groove. Rust in rear window surround - will get a quote for that tomorrow Rust in the panels by door windows, not sure what the panel is called, but apparently they just unbolt. Roof is wavy, don't know how to fix that. But overall the car is in great conition

I would have loved to go old school again if I found something that I liked. However I didn't. And then the silvia showed up.

Will do. Semi gutted bout not fixing it, however, sometimes you just have to move on.

Had a professional Panel repair guy look at the car today. There is NO structural damage. It's all cosmetic. However. I will not be fixing the car. If any of you guys want to buy both cars for 800 o.n.o then you have first dibs. Otherwise will be going on Tardme. In other news, I will be picking this up tomorrow : Regards Dave.

Can anyone recommend a garage that does good work in the tron? After someone that actually does panel BEATING instead of replacing, and won't leave the bog 2" thick. Regards Dave

here are some shots There is some structural damage to the car. I had a look at the parts car, and it is in worse condition that this. So... I will go around the panel beaters on monday and get a quote to fix. Unfortuanatly I don't think it will cost anywhere less than 2 or 3k. So will see what the future of the car will be.

only 3rd party. yea RF gaurd = gone LF = might be salvagable Bonnet = gone Every other outside panel = gone I hope the chassis hasn't sustained too much damage. Got a straighter at tech, so if it needs it will be free

here are the first photo's

took eyes off road. looked back up and saw car infront had stopped. was doing 50 and car was about 5m in front so realised there was nothing I could do. touched brakes, slammed square into the back of the other car. Dude in front saw I was coming so he put the brakes on. His car has hardly any damage to it, mine, is well fucked.

cheers dude. I hope so too ay. Will put photo's up tomorrow when I go fetch it. might actually be able to start a project thread now hahaha / still super gutted

nah not kidding dude. but shit happens. luckily I didn't part out with the other car. I recon I can fix it.

Todays report : put new 6" speakers in the back instead of the old 4" and then i wrote my car off heading to work.

Hey dudes, who is a good guy in the waikato/hamilton to do a cert?? Regards

It's every 100mm I think

oh ok, thats fair enough.

can you still get a wof with a fixed seat? I assume this is a stupid question, however I don't know the answer.

hey dude how did you mount your new seats? got any pictures?

haha. had an idea a while back to turn greeny into a track car. stripped interior. Make a cage for it at tech etc. / will just wait and see what happens. save up for a while and when i have some decent coin see what I can play with ( If I dont change my mind before then )

Will certainly not do it in white. WAY to autosalon for me
