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....

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.

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.

im sorry about that it´s just that i just got me self a s112 recently for 7500 sek with documentet newly renovated engine and the way i see it 30000 for your engine where the hell have you put the money on that maybe youll have a good engine controll system whit sensors for 20.000 sek then i would understand because surely more than 10.000 to renovate a standard internal engine isn´t realistic.

it is a nice car i admit to that don´t sell it keep it and make it into the monster it could be with forged internals or maybe an ca18det vg30 fj 20 or sr20det but for the love of good to put in 30.000 sek in an angine that only produces say 240 ish ??bhp for that kind of money youll get an rb26dett from a engine supplyer complete with mt tranny.

as for the wheels if they are magnesium i get it but i must have missed it in the swedish ad.

the body kit is fair priced if the paint jobb is alright

the roll cage i can´t understand you buildt it your self as i understood it?


well fuck it i didn´t mean to be sutch an asshole and i apoligize for this the above is not to argue it is to show you how i thougt while posting the previous post. i appoligize again its just that even 50.000 is in the top range of what it could get sold for and your aiming for 80.000.

and by the way i am not some freaking noob teen that think that he nows anything youll try me if you don´t believe me when it comes to nissan motors 88 to 97 thats my speciality altuohg im still learning about the s12 previous knowledgde is s13 and above. i still love my new s12 altuogh it´s a bit slow at 190 bhp but it will do til the new engins in.

again i´m sorry for my latest post i appoligize to mister Conkers and to the forum for putting this in this post i am my self
