Closer look at the shaved rear lips, this should get just enough clearance to fit the R33GTR wheel with decent tires .- bzh kevin

it's been a minute since the last update . The shell is back from the paint shop and back with HTDevelopments . The painter still has to come back to do a final cut once the paint has harden and the other panels are on the car . The HTDevelopments workshop is pretty busy this year and I will...- bzh kevin

I haven’t ask if they guarantee their work . I assume the shell will be good for a few years but keep in mind that I use my car all year round even in winter so rust will always come back . I believe this should still seal it much better than the factory paint .- bzh kevin

No big update on the paint yet . The parts came back from acid dipping and the front wings needed a bit of a patch up as the were pretty much pitted all the way through around the bottom .- bzh kevin

To be fair I don’t know much about body kits but after a bit of googling the kit is probably a ito auto V1 kit . The car is slowly turning into a missile so the kit probably won’t last forever . I work as a 3D modeler for Nissan design Europe in London . It’s pretty common for Japanese...- bzh kevin

The car is still at the paint shop but now down to bare metal . The filler used to 'repair' the previous rear quarter panel damages have been removed and the panel straighten properly .- bzh kevin

To get the exact details of the process and product used, it would probably be better to ask them directly . but as far as I understand : - First the panels spot welds are drilled to expose the panel seams or to remove the panel completely. - They grind(sand blast for the front panel) cut and...- bzh kevin

the shell is now with the paint shop, in the meantime HTDevelopments is still working on the engine . It's coming along nicely and will be looking as fresh as it can! The sump is pretty was pretty heavily corroded and will be replaced by a Greddy high capacity sump before the car leave the shop .- bzh kevin

The shell should be going to the paint shop this week . As I wanted to retain all the OEM panels, it was decided that the bonnet, boot lead and doors will get an acid and E-coating treatment to get rid of all the rust and hopefully cut some of the prep time for the painter .- bzh kevin

While the car is waiting for painting the guys at HTDevelopments focused on cleaning the various parts that will go back onto the shell . The engine is also getting some love . Some valve were found to be a little leaky, the exhaust manifold and turbo were a bit loose . Now my goal is to get...- bzh kevin

Plenty has happened in the last few month . The car goes to paint in August, the engine bay is getting the last few touches and sealer before . In the meantime I got the once in a lifetime opportunity to work in Japan for 2 years . One thing leading to another, I now own a chaser at Ebisu 😅 .- bzh kevin

They started on the car around mid-June last year, they have been working on it on and off until last February, since then it's been stored and waiting for paint . HTD could have done it quicker but there was a lot more work than originally expected and the work had to slow down so I could...- bzh kevin
