I picked my first Skyline up back in Jan 2004. I had previously seen it for sale around October 2003 but it went unsold.
I emailed the owner around 3rd Jan 2004 and bought it a few days later from near Bristol.
How the advert pics looked.
Started to clean the engine bay up a little.
At the time I was quite surprised how clean the boot area was.
I managed to get hold of a set of Face Lift stove top rear lights that were a Japanese only fitment (JDM) I would prefer Pre Face Lift seeing how to car is one, but beggers can't be choosers etc...
Around May 2006 I took the car of the road for a few little jobs ready for the MOT, erm well the little jobs began to get a little bit obese :S
After looking on a few Japanese websites of people restoring the same model Skyline (Shame I can't find the links) these seem to be very very common areas to rust on them. Also looking at both of my C210 Skylines they have almost rusted in the same position.
Yet another common area...
Luckely you can buy this section that has rusted out new from Nissan still, shame you cant get the left hand side new though. I will have to make a repair section for the other side.
Fast forward to Jan 2007
I start to cut out the area behind the front right strut for repair.
Starting to repair the area.
Fast forward again to July 2009
Having a play around with my Twin Turbo kit made by Greddy/Trust. Checking it clears the chassis rails etc.
Fast forward to July 2011 (Seems like I only work on cars in July, all about to change though)
Managed to get some outer and inner sills made up for both Skylines.
August 2011 I managed to pick up some arch extensions from Japan as the standard arches are pretty shot.
I have some more pics somewhere that I need to upload yet.
The main problem I have had with working on my cars is the weather as they are on the drive, but this is soon to change as I am moving into my own house with a decent length garage and full length car port. I will finally be able to make some progress with my cars, I will be working on this Skyline first as I think it may be easier?
;D
