Greetings from Belgium

Well hello there :trout

I'm from BE and I recently bought myself a Nissan S12 coupe with CA18ET engine. Since the car isn't in good condition I decided to do a complete restoration and engine swap to CA18DET.
The reason why I subscribed me here is because the S12 scene isn't that big in BE (because there weren't many sold in Europe). And because my goal is to get it finished before JAE 2013 (although that's quite a tight deadline!) :)

Last time I went to JAE was in 2011 with my Honda Prelude 5th gen. Since I really like the UK JDM car scene I really want to go back there as soon as possible :D :D :D

Nice work hope to see you at jae

S12 looks good in white ! Will be interested to see how this come out :)

@caz4244, Let's hope I'll be able to make that deadline. But I'm not gonna rush, rather quality then quick finish :D

@thenomisf, true. But I'm still thinking about what color I should paint him :P I'm thinking of combining black or brown with white (panda style).

@bidgaves12, hahaha. Do I update this topic or is there a place to put my project? :)

Anyhow, some updates:

Almost ready with my preparations to sandblast the engine bay and get rid of the annoying rust! :devilsidesmile:

Hi Carolus,

Good to see you are going to JAE, I have been a regular for the last 4 years. In 2011 I couldnt bring my S12 unfortunately but last year I was there with the Dutch Nissanclub at the NPOC (Nissan Primera Owners Club) stand.

Where is JAE held? Fingers crossed ill be there in mine

Hi bigdave.
It is a usually the last four years in Wicksteed Park again.
I believe I have met you there 2 years ago with your girlfriend and red s12?

@Sunny, yes you are being stalked :trout :D

@bigdaves12, I'm gonna do my very best to make it there but we'll see. If it's not this year, it'll be next year :p
