Oof. Braver man than me. Looks like it had a deep and long swim.

[25RBGT]

Yeah mate 2022 at Lismore, I went right under! Luckily it was fresh flood waters and it has been sitting since after the owners cleaning interior. 
the motor has compression and is turning over.

I couldn’t refuse the car for the price haha I’m in no rush, I already have a 34 and a patrol on the road. More of something to keep me busy and I really regretted selling my original 31 10 years ago.

Oh this is cool. Can't wait for the updates.

What is the long term plan for the car?

[25RBGT]

Back to clean stock looking r31 silo with a little boost. That’s a long long way away.

Something to keep me busy for now

We have fuel pump alive and starter now. Another step in the right direction

Reminds me of my old 31 daily. The whiny diff and the replacement that was worth half the price of the car, the broken front seat, the peeling vinyl from the door trims, the mule kick from the series 3 auto box, the dodgy front ball joints and my dad crashing it into a Volvo.

Plus the many days spent at pick n payless grabbing anything good from other 31s and pintaras

Yeah I remember these pick and Payless adventures with my fist couple 31’s 10+ years ago.Hardly anything left r31 in nsw now at wreckers. 
RIP pick and Payless, I hear it never made it threw covid and they scrapped all the cars 😭

First fire with a the help of RP7. Now moving onto the fuel system.

Found some cancer in the topical location for 31’s, do some emergency surgery over the next few days and see if it’s a show stopper for this silo.

She will live on, the clean rebuild continues 

[25RBGT]

New quarter panels I did a 1000km drive to get.

no rust under the chrome door surrounds just a hole lot of mud.

starting getting the fuel side sorted today 

[25RBGT]

The old fuel tank showed it’s not going to be just a matter of cleaning unfortunately. 
The club sticker and BMW  e30 quarter  
indicators arrived.

He managed to find me over on R31SkylineClub forum ~ he'll be headed up here whenever to pull the good fuel tank (and other bits and pieces) from my spare S2 pinny parts car... should help the project & keep costs down 😃

Yeah mate, your help is just what I need to give this project a little bump along, and closer to putting the historic number plates on this silo. 👌😁

thank you

[25RBGT]

Little rust converter under the ass end some paint and fish oil and she’s ready for the new tank! Then we will get a ignition, thanks to the ever faithful r31 skyline club community most of all Solder.👏👌

Look at all that floodwater mud falling away onto the grass
