This is my second s12, the first one I had was many years ago, I lived just down the road (100m) from Simon Norris and used to modify cylinder heads for him, and got interested in the silvias then.
Sad story about that one, as I moved to sweden and my brother "borrowed" the silvia (which was for sale) and he never gave it back.... the last time I asked him about the car he said it had been stolen... long story... lets just say I lost it. :-)

Had the current LHD s12 for about a year now, it has been slowly making progress, but other cars in the workshop have kept it on the back-burner.. Was due to go into the paint shop on feb 21st, but I have just ordered a gran-prix body it from Majiej in poland, which will be here at the end of february, so we will delay the paint until the kit has arrived and is fitted.
We were hoping to get out on the ice to do some ice racing/drifting this winter, but it has been to mild here and not much ice to speak of. So it will be a fun road car, that we can do track days and endurance races/drifting...

Currently fighting with the drivers seat, as there is a hump in the tunnel/floor for the cat, which is pushing the seat too high, so the floor will need to be modified to get the seat lower, and my head under the roll cage! Also will be nice with some clearance between crash helmet and roof! Extra work.. but now we are waiting for the bodykit it will keep us busy..

There are a lot of blonde girls here, probably over 50%... my gf is a natural blonde, and is blonde at the moment actually.. but it changes weekly...

I read the thread about your wheel arches... nice work... certainly the best looking silvia I have seen...
