They were fairly cheap

That'd be awesome.
Well if the hole has to be directly over, that'd be fine.

Thanks in advance

So I got the lug nuts today and I did have trouble at first because I guy on ratsun said he couldn't fit all four lug nuts in.
But then I just realized it was because of gravity and how it caused leaning. I solved that and it all worked out pretty damn well.
PICS.







Here's the stance that I literally LOVE.
This is without a spacer in the front. When i swap on the zx struts, I'm sure it will go in a bit but I can use the spacer then.


Thanks a ton to all the people that I bugged and shit but helped me out.

Yay! I had faith. Why? because those are like the only shank nuts made, besides the oem nissan ones. So there really wasnt any guessing.

Lol. Thank god you're smart.
I wish I was. haha

Are those shelbys?

I had 5 sets(or more) bought all from a tire dealer back in 1995,gave me a bargain for them all(new in box)

Auveco is a company who makes all sorts of fasterners. I am using part number 11406. As it states, it needs a 1/4inch hole. They fit a little loose when the panel is not attached, but I would assume some tape, or whatever you wrap the panel in, would hold it fairly well. They really do a good job at holding the panel on. My panels are 1/8th inch ABS plastic. I bought this box on Ebay.

those look to be the same ones(or close to it) that were used by the PO of my truck(who did custom interior for a living)

They work good!

Now get some tire so you can push it around and take a bunch of pictures!!!

Thanks plenty.
I'll def look into it more.
I seem to keep breaking or losing more door panel clips.
I have the original clips and they're extremely fragile.

I was going to buy tires but then fam emergency came up and had to toss up a grand from savings.
It sucks because i had $400 for those repro grills on ratsun but now it's all gone.

I'll be saving up for now and I currently haven't done much besides install the kicker panels and put speakers in.

Does anyone know if these are worthy?

Decided to do a lot of small projects for the car today. I just need a ride to get what i need. haha

I'm gonna plasti-dip my rear so it looks like this.


Also neea go to joannes and get some vinyl to wrap my rear speaker shelf.
Got a lot of plans.

i decided to plasti dip my rear end where a garnish would belong.

Here are the results. Give some feedback!

I think I did a bad job but it'll slide. i got the idea of it and now when i redo my body, I plan to paint,
There are no drips but there is a flaw.
The lines themselves are not that defined.

I only put four very thing coats so the transition would be prove but it's not.
maybe they weren't thin enough?

It looks alright but if you get a foot or less closer, you can see the undefined lines.
It bugs me because i want it to be perfect but nothing is.

I put 3 layers of gloss and waiting for that to dry.

I don't know why but this pictures makes it seem like the closest corner is off but its the only good picture i have.



anyways, a friend had to do some photography project and he decided to use me and i didnt allow it until my car was in the picture. he sent me the gayest ones but here's the only one i have so far.

and i also snatched one in the meantime.

Your car looks so friggin' clean, man.. I love it.

Thanks. I try to put at the minimum an hour a day on it if not more.
But sadly, the guy before my just painted over the rust and it kills me to see the rest bubble and come out.

depressing.

but thanks. encouraging comments like that keep me motivated.

Thats how my 2 door is. But hey, your making the best of it for sure. Get some tires and slam it.

I would love to replace it with the 72 badges but that ruins it. and i dont think they fit.

Ive got a 69 and a 71. Both of them get 68 grilles and badges.
