The hubcaps look the business. I've just had a can of spray paint made up by SprayStore to match the colour of the grill which needs freshening up. There's enough paint to do the hubcaps as well. They're looking a bit scratched and tired and I wanted to keep the factory paint, but they're just too ...

I guess if you drive around in Bugatti's and Aston Martins all week for a job a Nissan might begin to look a bit pedestrian.
I think he's a knob.

I'm pretty sure the starter motor itself is OK. The copper solenoid contacts were clean as and it turns over strongly
when contact is made. I'm sure it's in the ignition barrel. I'll pull it when I get some time.

old_datto_fan, have you ever thought about taking it to a plastic fabricator and getting a copy (mould) taken and having them made and selling them on eBay for about $350 USD each? Just thinking....

This front air dam came with the car when I bought it. It was barn stored obviously with a whole lot of heavy stuff on top of it and it's completely munted. Does anyone know how to re-shape it or who makes reproductions. I don't want a fiberglass air dam but want to go back to how the car arrived in...

I've had starter motor issues so I pulled it and cleaned all the contacts, especially the solenoid. No difference after reinstalling it so after ratting around on the forums it seems a common problem is in the barrel of the ignition. I'm not sure where to go with that. Maybe do some more homework on...

I've had a few days off work so I have swapped out the steering coupler for a nolathene one from Motorsportauto. Cheaper that getting one in from Australia
or SMS. I'm pleased to say it's made a hell of a difference. Truly, it was the weakest link.

Will you comedians shut up about the bloody sheep and make some comments like:

"Nice idle on that L24, TC" or

"Love your wipers, NOS ex USA are they?" ...and so on and so on

This is supposed to be a mutual admiration society not Country Calendar.
