when i first got the car it was in pretty rough shape & had a blowen motor amongst many other problems, anyway I started by picking up a very tidy/low km s2 r33 half cut and got to work on it & it just evolved from there, its been a slower process as I work full time but its getting there, absolutely everything so far has been done by myself and a bit of help from a couple of mates. (except the wiring & exhaust), i have pictures from the whole build and a folder full of receipts. theres probly alot ive forgotten to add but this is what i can remember -
