Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

[whatt18yahoo]

who cares if it's original m3 or not you cut up and modified anything that would have been m3 anyways (not a bad thing). so why bother the only difference i see is that perhaps you would have had wider fender lines in the rear but who cares i love the project but you should buy some m3 front fenders. otherwise rock on

Step one, learn to read: He has fender flares already.

Step two, learn to speak english before posting.

Right. The car was a 500 dollar roller when I got it. Full of rust holes, dented up, etc.

There is tons of other ways I could have spent this money, but I'm happy with this. It's MINE. Every single nut and bolt and part and piece on the car has been touched, mended, cleaned, painted, improved, replaced or modified... BY ME.

Do I regret not getting a S14? Totally. But at this point there's nothing I can do to change it, so I'll just keep moving forward. :)

At the level you're modifying things an M3 shell would have just been an extra $4000 you didn't need to spend.

How do you plan on mounting your CF door panels...Ive been looking for something like these and was throwing around the idea of drilling holes that line up with the stock clip locations, and using something like a expanding plastic clip to hold the CF panel to the door.

Clips like this, but probably smaller. They are splash guard clips from Toyota, I deal with them everyday and the hold up pretty well:

The man speaks the truth....as soon as you drop the letter M everything sky rockets....let alone theres no way your finding a shell sub 4k

Work - Meisters.

[Bishop]

Are the Meisters the 3-piece? I had a response typed out saying Work 3-piece cause they look familiar, but I forgot of the actual name other than Work.... I'm gonna be bummed if I was right and didn't post lol.

[Iain]

There are 2 and 3 piece Work Meisters.

Newman's are the 2pc versions.

[Bishop]

yeah I didn't end up posting cause after looking, they didn't look like the 3-piece I've seen, I didn't know they made a 2-piece.

[newman]

3 piece meisters are gross. They're also cheaper than 2 piece. Small update coming once I type it out.

Amazing build, read through the whole thread last night.

Love it!!!

[newman]

Thanks! When you guys read it, do you read the build blog or the forum posts?

[Iain]

I have been trying to keep track on your website. Not too difficult, but I drink a lot and therefore struggle

[e30guydownunder]

I only worked out today that you were posting many more pictures and info on the blog...
