Yeah huh! Next time I go out to Stony, Iā€™ll snap a few. Also, turns out the fuel tank wasnā€™t punctured, a fuel line was leaking all over the place. Thatā€™s all fixed now, and the thing runs like a fucking champ! :E ---

Not sure if it will be there or not! I need to get it insured and body work done to it before I want it seen in public. On the plus side, I just found out last night that it is rolling around on RS\*R coilovers, which I didnā€™t know even existed for the GT-R, but was a nice surprise nonetheless. šŸ˜ƒ I forgot the camera yesterday, so I should have some more pics up on the board later on today. šŸ™‚ ---

You canā€™t see it on the pics, but the front bumper has been hit and is cracked (itā€™s not actually attached to the car on the passenger side), the rear Nismo-style flares are mostly detached from the car, and there are a few small dings here and there. Overall itā€™s in good shape, but not up to my standards and I want it fixed. Fortunately it looks to be in good shape mechanically so I can spend some money to get all the crap thatā€™s wrong with the body fixed. šŸ™‚ ---

No thanks. Think Iā€™ll spend my money making sure that 1) the body panels wonā€™t fly off at highway speeds, and 2) the thing is tuned properly so I wonā€™t blow up the engine while I keep seeing a white turbo 240 in my rearview mirror. :E ---

Jesus, everytime I work on this car itā€™s like Christmas time!
