Ain't nothing like a stripped-out car. It's like a blank canvas, waiting for paint. Beautiful.
Group B Nissan 240RS: It takes real balls to race against turbo AWD road monsters in a carbed, 2WD car from the 70s.

Haha. No you dont. It came on the parts car when I got it. Its a piece of shit. Some muppet has tried to make a fibreglass bonnet but it weighs the same as the steel one, its rough as fuck. Looks alright in the pictures but there is holes and dips and rises all through it. I have already binned it

Thats the parts car that is completely stripped. The carpet and back seats are staying in the project car

Looks like he made it by cutting a tab in the hood and bending it a bit downward. I've seen it done before on our cars and on other cars, and if you do it right it can turn out nicely.

THAT IS EASY, anyone can camber a skinny as tire till it dosnt rub. Now fitting an 11 with a 315 on stock fender with reasonable camber, that is fitment. And looks, and performs better than both.

Hey Zips1,  Got them off trademe. Cant even remember how I came across them ( I was drunk trademeing at the time haha ). Jason - That is kind of what he has done. Left the steel frame there, made a whole fibreglass hood, added a rise in the middle and then as you say, turned a bit down. If it had of been someone who know what they were doing it would have come out alright. As it is, it looks like an abortion gone wrong.....

Arro

Hey can you do me a fav and take close-up pictures of your door where the edges are, specifically where the twotone colors meet and the rubstrip ends? Also, of the wheel arches if you could please. Also, is it silver inside the doorsill at the bottom, or blue?

Will do Jason.
Rubstrips were pulled off ages ago sorry. Bottom is silver. People seem to like this colour scheme. Kind of thinking I should have just given it a re-paint in factory colours...

Arro

even better if the rubstrips are gone, because I want to see exactly where the color cutoff line sits.

Wait... that isn't factory?
