Project - Rat'line

Riekert · Post by **Riekert** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 1:20 pm

Well as some of you know, I've bought a 1986(i think) Skyline GTX.

It has the stock straight 6 2.8l L28 in.
Dropped 80-100mm
15" mags
Free Flow
Stripped out interior
One seat
Rusted body
Cracked Windscreen
banged up rear end

hehe so ja. its a bit of a work in progress.

I'll be starting this project as soon as the SX is up and running again. so in about 1-2months

The aim with this car is a daily/trackday toy. Basically want to fix the body spray it white, net a nice set of wide 15's new exhaust system redo the engine bay (wiring piping etc). Redo the interior, two new front seats, rugged black carpet for the floor and brushed ali everywhere else. Still toying with the idea of a rollcage though...

anyway. more to come.

here is a few pics so long

So what you guys think?

Can I buy those wire clips for the TSW centre nuts from you?

Since you say you will be changing the rims anyway...
