Looking good mate. Would you say that fitting the shortshift would be doable for a mechanically inexperienced person such as myself? Looking into getting one for my next mod and just wondering how difficult it is to fit.

Painted bits look smart, nice one. How easy does the handbrake come to bits? The handle on mine between the arms is loose and rattles, feels ready to break! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
What prep did you do before spraying the engine cover? Really want to give that a go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
take the plastic gaitor off that the handle slides up and down in, the insides of the handles slide back and use a hair dryer to soften the glue which holds the outer covers on cheers just sprayed with filler primer, sanded it down then went over with normal primer
fitted the bumper yesterday, ive had the headlight washers blanked and the damaged around the N/S fog light fixed few pictures after i cleaned it 20th April by matt eaton, on Flickr 20th April by matt eaton, on Flickr 20th April by matt eaton, on Flickr 20th April by matt eaton, on Flickr 20th April by matt eaton, on Flickr 20th April by matt eaton, on Flickr 20th April by matt eaton, on Flickr

Very nice and very very clean car this is.your attention to detail is admirable Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
And this is why I would like to buy an r26 from an enthusiast! Thread is much better than a few stamps in a service book. I do them for all my cars. Great car and great thread. So it's OK to go with solid discs on the front then? Cracked discs on these aren't as much as a wallet killer as the buying guides make out then? How much were the injectors?
