As my car is almoct ready to be licenced i figured i should finally ad some pics up.

Ok so when i first got her she was very sad looking but didnt have tooo much rust, photo is of the day before i bought it at the blokes house.


and the engine



So the car sat for around a year or so before i met a guy off of another forum who said he'd give me a hand for the panel work... well thats what he said anyway.
After about 8 weekends and 2 grand i had gtr flutes and a big hole in my roof before the guy said he'd put his back out... lies again

Anyway back on topic, I then met a man named dj who lived locally who finished the panelbeating and fixed the last blokes work for around the
same price as well as prepping for paint and recommending a painter.




Then finally came the paint (march 17th) and with the help of Jonno from this forum its at the stage its at today.





Also forgot to mention that besides extractors, exhaust and a supra 5 speed the car is pretty stock with a 173.

Thanks for reading
Jason

No idea on the paint code just told the bloke i wanted it march 17th green .

Future plans after getting it licenced are to build up a 202 on the side, maybe even turbo. (but doubt it)

Car looks awesome mate good work, im painting my lc march 17th green aswell but i thought it was a fair bit darker. What paint code did u use? Cheers mate

normally it does look a little darker, its probably just the photos

The top picture is taken with a proper camera and thats the colour that the car looks like (if that makes sense) The other two pics were taken with my phone when it was in the sunlight as i couldnt find the camera. But yeah the top one looks exactly like the colour
