Pictureless update but today I went round to my mates place where the car is, seems to be drying out which is good! Took out the auto brake pedal in anticpation of the manwell conversion ended up breaking the nylon bush trying to remove it... but my mate is an engineer and said he'll whip up 2 new ones this weekend and it was kind of his fault that it broke haha. Because Nissan are awesome the auto and manual pedal boxes are identical! So I can use the one that's in already and just use the shaft and pedals from the R30 one. Also called Jeremy at Southern Auto Glass and he's going to order my windscreen and call me when it arrives :D Exciting things are happening!

Sure will!

Draglink, idler arm, idler arm mount, clutch and brake pedals are getting powder coated in gloss black should have them back early next week :D

Also blank zinc coated the tie rod adjusters and gold zinced the lock nuts.

Took apart the spare front end this afternoon and got out the LCA's so I can get the ball joints pressed out to spruce them up too!

She's going to be pretty blingin with a reco'd front end. Can't wait to take that first drive after it's all done!

If the control arms are like the R30 then the ball joints don't come out.
