Hey peoples...

So im at the stage where i've decided i want a full body respray on my car...

I have a 1993 R33 GTSt coupe... Gunmetal Grey

p1010456me5.th.jpgthpix.gif

I had a guy come round today to check out the car and quote it.

The following things are getting done...

Rub back, straighten body, prime, paint obviously.

Entire car will be the new ve green (including insides of doors, boot etc. bonnet gloss black (including underneath),

blade and side inserts on gtr spoiler gloss black.

Windows will be taken out for the job and put back in.

rubbers replaced... larger fascia style rubbers will be sanded smooth and sprayed gloss black

Bonnet is fibreglass, as is spoiler.. both are somewat ripply... he is sanding them right back.. using fibreglass resin to build over and make

perfectly smooth.

Engine bay will be completely sprayed the green to match car. (i will be removing engine)

windscreen wipers will be sprayed gloss black.

inside car (dash surrounds, glovebox, door inserts etc are currently white... getting sprayed gloss black.)

Rocker covers on engine are getting sprayed the green to match.

Brake calipers will also be sprayed (not sure wat colour)

Mesh is front bar and side skirts will be replaced with new mesh

Bonnet clips are starting to rust, he will be replacing with stainless ones

Thats roughly everything... i think...

For that i was quoted $7000. Asked to have the car for roughly a month. which isn't a big deal really as i have no licence atm...

thanks to an accumulation of points for avoidable things. lesson learnt.

another questions is... do i go ahead with this or sell the car and use that money plus 7 to get something better... if so wat?

keeping in mind that wat ever i get will likely be bog stock.

I live in the eastern suburbs... can anyone recommend someone else..? i want a good job for a good price not a cheap as one.

Regards

Simon

Sounds reasonably priced considering what i know a lot of people have paid @ various places.

Obviously there are cheaper places, but as with everything the workmanship costs $$$.

IMO i'd only spray a stock colour, but thats just me.

Id only be spending that kinda money if you intend to keep the car for at least another 4-5 year too btw

if it was me, i would be getting an r34 GT-T or a R33GTR if you can handle the upkeep!

Wat r they going for now days?

would love a gtr... but would prefer to upgrade to a newer model... tuff decision...

anyone interested in a 33 hahaha

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
