Well finally took delivery of the R32 im going to be working with, looks a bit beat up but its not that bad really, runs awesome and i enjoyed driving her into here space in the garden oh how i have missed that RB sound...lol.

Here are a few shots of Rose the R32 after her last owner crashed her, some on her way to Scotland and her arriving, also a few shots of the engine bay as it is just now.

Rose ??

 

[2410Davie]

Yeah named after the Pub of the person who helped me out getting her checked over and over seeing everything for me as i stay in Edinburgh and the car was down in Letchworth Garden City so saved me traveling around the country

So she has been named Rose after The Rose & Crown pub in Hitchin

[Roba Fett]

Not sure how long Andy as I have a few plans, 1 might get her on the road fairly quick in time for summer, the other is long term so may take a while longer. Colour wise depends on the plans.....lol but i have loads of Ghost Violet Pearl i can use

Can't wait for this project to start!

Yeah me too...haha, started to strip but as its outside just now the weather is holding me back at the moment but no rush.

 

[Steve_s]

Good luck with the project and build - look forward to it!

Think I'm going to follow this. sounds like an interesting project pretty jammed up tho. Hows the chassis after the crash?

 

[2410Davie]

Chassis is fine its mostly body panel damage, front wings, drivers door, drivers sill bashed a little and a small dent in the roof near rear window, the boot floor got a bit as well from a post but nothing bad or cant be fixed.

loads of plans for this but nothing much happening until after the year to get Christmas and New Year out the way and time to strip the shell bare.

 

[Spooks]

That was about 15 minutes away from me in Letchworth. Looks like she went off the A1. Look forward to progress anyway.

I hope you gave the previous Owner a slap for doing damage to a Skyline!!!:slap:

Well the last few bits from the line are sounding good! have fun curious about this

yeah it was mate and i never moved from Edinburgh to get her checked out, paperwork done and picked up....lol skyline friends are awesome

I hope you gave the previous Owner a slap for doing damage to a Skyline!!!:slap:

lol never met him, not sure if he is on here either? he only had the car 5/6 weeks...lol

 

[2410Davie]

Well I braved the wind and cold weather this weekend and stripped some of the rear and sorted the boot area which had been damaged from a post going through the rear bumper and jammed up between the fuel tank and boot floor.

here are a few photos of the rear stripped and the damage and what i have done to pull it back into shape.

Their way of cutting the arch to fit GTR arches.....lol what a mess.

The fence post was jammed in here between fuel tank and boot floor, this pushed the boot floor up and crushed the rear end a bit.

Rear end stripped and you can see the back panel is all pushed in and the boot floor crushed as well.

So off i went with my hammed, hydraulic press, bit of wood and some shaping dollies, and this is how i got it looking just now, still a bit to do but you can clearly see its looking a lot better already.

so thats what i got up to this weekend and stripped a few more bits from the interior as well.....loads more to do yet.

[Codexje]

great work! what a pain to look at it almost breaks my heart

 

[Steve_s]

Nice work!! - it always has to get worse before it gets better unfortunately - glad to see the damage did not bend the two rear arms of the chassis on either side - sure Rose will be back in bloom soon!
