was wondering why you were so quiet Nath

great work on the car so far, it is looking fantastic.

did you strip the rims down to paint them or just mask them up?
I have a set that the centres need painting but am in two minds as to how to proceed with them.
cheers

thanks boys , yeh nothing newto post as ive been waiting ha.

with the centres , i paint strippered the centre(in a can) and i found that a4 paper can wedge down the gap, put it the whole way around , tape the paper together and give the insides a quick scuff. to remove the loose bits left. then just sprayed.
didnt do the best job but wanted to see what they looked like.
currently have them on a mates car and they look sick.

edit : i did take one centre off to see how hard it was. and it was alot of effort and hitting to remove them as they obviously had never been off. the centre is still off as im going to replace the bolts rather then use the old ones.

9 weeks later i got the coupe back from the diff place.
shortened and rebuilt r31 LSD 4.11 diff.
new u bolts,shocks,bearings,disks.
1 piece tailshaft.
all up a very pricey $2800 (i supplied the diff)
got the car back home
put the genuine 1200 fitted flares on (much nicer fit)

put the bobtail spoiler on (needs major repair so its just mock up fitted)

put the watanabes up front. 15x8 fills the flares nicely.

welded up a temporary 2.1/4 exhuast with cat and resonator just so its moveable without being a top fueler and disurbing the neighbours.

turned the key. no spark from the coil :(
ran before it left.
no idea what it could be so auto elec is hopefully coming next weekend.
