Deren,
I, like you am a 32 GTR restorer! Well, not to the same extent as you but close. When i was 17 i bought my GTR for 5k mostly complete, and as you would expect it was in shite condition. I stripped it down as much as you have and started from the ground up, like yourself.
In reading this thread it all seems so fimiliar, and something i can directly relate to.
After alot of wire wheeling on the angle grinder, I used the Wurth stoneguard, same as you, to do the whole underneath of the car, painted the front sub frame, but didnt touch the back...it was gonna be too much work. I did a full bare metal respray in midnight purple I, and also rebuilt the engine, balanced and forged pistons etc etc. Every piece on the engine was spotless, having a clean engine bay was my main focus. But due to lack of fundings, like yourself at times, i could only afford hi flows at the time.
All of the aluminium parts in the engine bay got bead blasted, and almost everything else blasted and then painted. I had the same dedication as what you have now, but i didnt pay as much attention to detail as you, although its still pretty good. It took me about 9months from start to finish, and its still not really finished, only a few bits to go.
I would have to say doing this to a car is the most rewarding thing you can ever do if youre into cars, you can be so proud and enjoy every thing about it, and say that you did it all.
Ive got over 500 photos now all up, i would imagine you have heaps as well.
Now im 19, i drive the car mostly on the weekends, and take it track when i can in between uni n stuff.
If you want, i can post up a few pics, i didnt want to steal your thread tho.
Who said restoration is for retired folk with nothing better to do??
BUILT NOT BOUGHT - thats for sure!
Good work, youre doing a fantastic job.
