mr bean Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Finally managed to sort all my pictures out . So now its time to give the car a name and begin my build thread. Bought the car in jan 2014 with the intention of doing a fast and furious replica. But as it turned out couldnt get the correct wheels or spoiler so I decided to go a different route paul walker tribute with a little twist. Posting the 2 pictures of the day I got home. As its on an irish plate im waiting for the right irish to come available. May take forever but it al b relavent to the name. Will get the first stage up tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I'd consider another name "Godzilla" is a nickname regularly applied to not just the R32, R33 and R34, but also the R35 GT-R." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr bean Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) First off was a major service belts, gaskets ,plugs, leads. Once all this was done I turned my attention to the outside. Deciding on a colour was doing my head in for a while but finally decided on mercedes Brilliant white. A week off work was booked to strip and prep . I opted to remove the ariel and rear windscreen wiper and weld up.. Next was to sort out drivers door as there was a bad repair. All preped and ready to go in booth. More to come tomorrow Edited June 14, 2015 by mr bean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 As said, Godzilla is the nickname for Skylines (Though meant to be just the R32), you could name it after Godzilla's greatest rival...King Ghidorah (キングギドラ Kingu Gidora), would make more sense as the whole Supra Vs Skyline rivalry.

mr bean Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 So as am not up to much today may as well put some more pictures up. So I waited 3 months for the car to get painted as my mate was doing it as a favour and this was the teaser picture he sent while it was in the booth. So the next day I was down at the unit putting it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr bean Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) So my front brakes decided to stop working. Press the brake pedal and nothing for a couple of seconds. So took the opportunity to do an up grade Yellow Speed big brake kit Edited June 14, 2015 by mr bean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr bean Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 So after the supra was put back together I decided the 17" Eneki's are to small. So after a few days of searching finally found the right wheels, 18" xxr 521's in flat Bronze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
