Some Examples:
C33 Laurel
R32 Skyline Four door
A31 Cefiro
That's just to mention a few so when we came across a straight almost mint A31 shell we couldn't just let it go! Nathan had a call from Shingo at A1 Nissan wrecking about this shell sitting out Ipswich so he got the guys number and gave him a call and next thing we all went out to have a gander.
The car had been sitting for about three years doing nothing but storing parts for the owners S13 project, Turns out it was an original RB25DE Manual Autech in Autech blue some may remember it having the plates 01TAXI (D1 Taxi) on it.
The Shell came with a whole bunch of parts including the original Autech front bar, Carbon fiber bonnet, all the interior while dirty in rather good nick so nothing a good cleaning wouldn't fix.
Only thing is it wasnt rolling as it had no crossmember, steering rack, rear subframe in it. so the night before we went to pick it up we assembled a front end and rear end so we could pull it up onto the car trailer and tow it away.
We arrived out there in the afternoon due to me having my nieces 9th birthday party in the morning (waiting on me geeez)
how the shell sat minus the 5stud front end we put in before i got around to taking photos
Expression: Lazy ass taking photos instead of working AGAIN!!!
5 Stud, Coilovers, Steering rack, castor rods, control arms installed
Front Wheels bolted on
Rear end all bolted in
On the ground!! After attacking Kristen and Nathan
Hmmm whats in here?
All loaded up on the trailer
Current and future
Nose cut to replace rad support and skirts - also a Carbon Bonnet
Now you ask what the hell is with the Title? and whats with buying Laurel parts for a Cefiro... Well one day Nathan and I were poking around all jap and came across a whole lot of laurel exterior parts and then something like this popped into his head.
Behold the Laufiro!!!
So back we went to acquire said found parts!
Mint headlights, Corner lights and grill
Mint front bar with lip
Mint guards
We also found the matching bonnet for the guards and bar but we couldnt fit it in the back of the falcon with everything else that was in there!! Stay tuned for more updates about this car down the road as for the moment we have things to get ready for Matsuri!!
Hope you all enjoyed!!
As always Stay Safe
Bev!!!
