going to be reviving this soon and fixing some broken picture links and stuff! been fairly inactive for a bit but i have been getting a lot of stuff together over the last few months finally, and it'll be fully wrapped and back on the road probably next week! going to be a big post with some of the updates and cool stuff i found over the last few months as well. shaping up to be a nice car again finally. quick sneaky pic to sate my own appetite haha

They were incompetent with the whole claim process. Month or 2? I could see that. But not when I provided them with everything, picture of every part, link to the price, tax, shipping etc. Multiple times at that since many used parts listings expired over the 8 month period. They avoided my phone calls, avoided calling me back. Even if it is their first (which I doubt) that us unacceptable. These cars have been legal for years now, I would find it highly improbable that I was the 1st claim. And they won't get my business again, I've been with them for a total of maybe 5 years now and this is how they treated me.

I wonder if this is the first R32 Skyline your insurance company has ever done a claim on? It's entirely possible that could be part of the problem

8 months just waiting on insurance. i only got to drive the car for 1 month leading up to the accident. so 1 month in the past 14 months it's been used. it makes me super sad but excited that i'll get to drive it again soon!

8 months? I just went a month without my car, I can't imagine how you feel right now. I'm excited to see the rebuild!

[GrandpaStance]

ok so the wait for insurance has been a little disheartening but finally, after 8 long months, they paid me in full to fix my car. plans are still going ahead as usual, only real update so far is that i ditched the Nardi wheel in favor of reupholstering my rare Momo 913 Special/Impul steering wheel. I will be hopefully ordering some more parts soon and fixing everything hopefully by the end of may if it all goes well!

[GrandpaStance]

just snagged these bad boys too! Can't wait for everything to come, then the rebuild starts. Should be back on track in a month or 2 tops!

Such a sick build man, sits on point man

[GrandpaStance]

things are getting good now! Just scored some unicorn stuff from Canada (going to pick it up soon) but I found a rear skyline light up panel and also rear quarter glass light up panels!! This is going to go so well with the livery!!!

[GrandpaStance]

Just scored these bad boys! East bear aero mirrors. Was going to do carbon covers on my stock mirrors but I think these will suit the car a little better

[GrandpaStance]

Yeah livery is definitely getting done haha I ordered all the vinyl months ago. Only thing up in the air right now is the turbo fans

[l2edken]

im so excited for this livery!

[loekaaz]

I'd say go for it. What's more legendary than adding a legendary livery on a legendary car?

[GrandpaStance]

So i had some designs drawn up for turbo fans by a company called Poksed over in europe, and definitely leaning towards getting some done! I think i may only do the fans up front and the regular dish in the rear. don't mind the tarmacs on the back, i was just testing some stuff out to see what i may want to run for a set of fun wheels with meaty tires haha. more renders to come as the project goes forwards.
