Pics of RB26 in the engine bay aren't loading...........
I've spoken at length with the missus about a 1/2J but she's a small block girl to the core.

this car will be a glamour when finished (yor gunna have to spend up big on interior now) it will certainly be a far cry from what you originally wanted

Good to see Matty that you didn't fall into the trap of going overboard on your wagon
Don't know how or why but I have seen this happen many times, what was meant to be a quick blowover turns into a full blown ground up rebuild.
Matty its going to look mint! You should be stoked with the result.

Goos work Matty its exciting to see the project is up and running again, our cars are like brothers i think they will be finished around the same time!! It will be good to see a few Tuscany Yellows on the road might have to organise a photo shoot.
Good luck... were all enjoying the progress

thanks guys,
RB, yeah... i know, i'm struggling at the moment with colour combos for the interior... (i'm sorta leaning towards a greeny colour like ek61 as i'm in the dilemma of not wanting anything that not practical)...
DR, yeah, oooops...
stewart, mate i went to get some other stuff done at alan mccoys & he ask whos doing your chroming i said that i was still looking around at prices & quality... he recommended "all metal bumpers"... this guys picks up from there & send them to some where in vic to get done... then he drops them back off... i'll let you know what i think when i get them on the car, but so far so good...
Kingaz, yeah, definately long lost bro's... but i really dont think mine will be finished as quick as yours is... but a shoot would be good hey....
i didnt get to the car today, maybe next week... lifes getting on top of me at the moment....
thanks guys

come on matty, almost done, keep it going.
Comming to think of it id be p'eed off if you left it in my garage, it looks so good so far, id want to see it out on the street, not under blankets.
Love fresh chrome, but was plastic coating mentioned earlier an additional cost, and does it prolong the life of the chrome? lol.
