I left the original panel under, but cut away around the wheel arch for tyre clearance, I took the easy option, because had I removed the original panel, or sections of it, then I would have still needed something to seal the inside of the car from the dust, dirt and tyre smoke. I might not seem much of an issue when you have panel trims inside the rear of the car and in the boot, but our is gutted and you can see the original panels from inside the car, although I suppose you could remove the panel and then fabricate a new inner arch...
Looks wise it doesnt matter either way.... time wise it is quicker to leave it in place.... weight wise... the back is already too light...

Depends how much time you have I suppose...

Don't want to sell it either, but the original deal was that we would build a cheap race car for my brother to drive as he didn't dare to drive the porsche.
It was supposed to be cheap... but ended up going 3 times over the budget, and now he won't drive this one either!
So she is for sale... and the money will go into getting the 6R4 running....

yea but you are asking for 80000 sek thats way over the top i rather buy meself two r32 or four s13 (silly money and it doesnt even have forged internals)

Wouldn't like to see the R32's or S13's you can get for 5800 GBP. Although, as far as S12's go that is bit steep fro UK tastes, even though it is a mint example.

theres that many skylines for sale that they are not selling, i've seen them at prices up to 11k for a r32, but i took andy @ AMT, to buy a r32, he only payed £5400 for it and it is totaly std and one of the cleanest i've seen, its was up at around 7k, but it was'nt selling, so he got him down to £5400 and the engine bay is immaculate.

Nice first post

. It is not even in a direct answer to a discussion or question.

Besides how can you put a price on someone elses hard work

Unless you`ve actually seen the car and all the work that`s been put into it, there`s no way you can say it`s overpriced.

Just my twopence worth.

Regards,
Ian.

You might be right...

I could always break it up.

20 000 kr for the wheels and tyres.
30 000kr for the engine
10 000kr for the seats and belts
10 000kr for the roll cage (fitted)
10 000kr for the bodykit (fitted and painted)
10 000kr for the dash display

The rest of the stuff comes for free! Building the car.... no charge.
