so after comming home from a mates place where i was playing some pool tonight i discovered the central west reversing ability is rather low. the r33 i bought about 3 weeks ago has now been reversed into. at this point i hadnt had a chance to put insurance on it so im in a bit of a pickle and as my job is delivering pizza in newcastle i have no way home atm and no way to do work. for now i have mums shed and a good mate to get her back on her feet. but this is where i need you guys to help me out. i dont have a very big budget because im not working for obvious reasons but at this stage i need the following:

> r33 s1 hood

> r33 s1 passenger headlight

> r33 s1 front grill with the skyline badge on it

> r33 series 1 radiator

> r33 series 1 radiots electric fan

> r33 series 1 front bar (might be able to fix the current one.

im sure there will be more that needs replacing when i start pulling it apart in the morning. im also thinking however seeings though im in the situation i wouldnt mind doing a series 2 front end coversion but only if i can stretch my budget. for now though can anyone inbox me with whatever parts they have an how cheaply they can let go of them. thanks everyone and wish me luck getting my pride and joy back on the road.

took me a while but thanks xntrq. car is back together and ive resprayed most of your parts black for that carbon fibre look. i put my original silver front bar back on after drift stitching it back together.

and im unsure of what hit it as i came out of a mates place, walked round the corner and there it was with the hood nearly bent back up onto the windscreen. so im guessing either vandals beat her up or a ute with a big toe ball went back on her.

nah its all good now. all i need replacing atm is my heater core but im picking one up tomorrow. next time im in sydney if u still have a r33 lying around i might come get the front rotors off it depending on condition?

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
