I hope this can help someone, it took a lot longer than I thought it would so be prepared for a long job. Rear Arches Firstly sketch out the area you wish to remove and take all the paint off it (photo 5 + 7), I did this with a sanding pads on a grinder disc. You can get a rough line by holding the gtr flare up and running a pen along the underside. Make sure you cut away enough. You then need to seperate the outside skin from the inside one. The easy way to do this is to just go along the wheel arch using an angle grinder with a really thin disc to take the lip off so the two will seperate. In photo 4 I pulled one apart with a screw driver and it was a total waste of…

I've just started spraying on the colour to my panels and wanted to know what everyone thought of the colour I picked. It's not the exact colour I wanted as I was unable to locate the 1969 Mopar colour Tor Red in Aus so ended up with Renault Rouge instead. I think it's a bit too bright for me but I don't mind it. Don't feel afraid to sledge my choice if you don't like it. It looks good in the shade but in direct sunlight it's just too bright. After spending 2 hours looking through colour charts I ended up just going with this one as the car will get sprayed in a panel shop within 2 years so it doesn't really matter too much. The spray job looks good from afar but is soo…

There is a bit of rust on my car. Just curious if any of you have heard of POR-15. I'm pretty sure it helps to prevent rust but does it actually get rid of it? I'm always afraid these products don't really work. https://www.autobodytoolmart.com/p-14093-17524.aspx

Hi Guys, had a good chance to talk to Jim yesterday, and he reminded me that there are old paint mix charts kicking around, and sometimes come up on ebay etc. I am looking for the mixture of the KPGC110 Red with nissan code 163. I found a good site in the US that has lots of mix codes on there but sadly it does not include the red i am looking for: http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/ does anyone happen to have any old mix charts around? Kent

Can anyone have a look at the alignment and shape of the boot (trunk) lid on their C110 hardtop please? More eyes that look the better. Have look at the shape of the lid in this http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=18143&d=1178566282 I was about to rework ours on the assumption that it was bent but in fact the right side is virtually identical in shape and fit to the pictiured 2000 GTX-E. The left side fits much more accurately but again is very close to that of http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=18140&d=1178566282 This view shows the 'misfit' on the right side also where the lid obviously curves more than the …
