the front end has suffered alot of stone chips, the bumper has been cut and resprayed when the intercooler was fitted, the bonnet is from an auto because it has the bulge and has bonnet pins fitted, this has also been resprayed 2 months ago a woman hit my nsr arch and the nsr has been painted with a perfect match and blend, with a new arch fitted.

the interior is spot on apart from the top cowling has been snapped when a speedo cable has been changed and the drivers electric window is always open by 1cm, the gears inside need changing.
there is a boost guage fitted below the cd player in the lid of the storage tray.
deep dish red suede steeringwheel
extended gearstick with 8ball
kenwood6x9 and fly door speakers.

the car is amazing to drive, it toodles round towns and villages nicely it is a proper drivers car, no abs, no power steering, you can really feel whats going on, then you come to a country road or dual carriageway and its a completely different car, with it being so light and so powerful the acceleration is savage, it eats any corner with the bilstien shocks and the tyres stick to the road like glue, and the brakes are spot on, no fade at all.

i will be reluctant to swap this car since i have spent hours and thousands making it what it is, it is the ultimate thrill to drive, and its even better when you come by a porche or a bmw m3 in a 25 year old hatchback, priceless.
