        My Girlfriend's gone away to start her final internship before qualifying as a primary school teacher. I'm a bit lonely at the moment, good thing my Brick's running again to keep me company.

    that is nice. i love the GT. the only thing that might make it look better would possibly be a rear spoiler. (just an opinion) the turbo swap would be over the top. i can appreciate all your work. good luck

    Judging from the pictures of your dad's Datsun, I'd say you were very lucky to be part of a family that obviously appreciates cars!

    You must be extremely happy to have completed this restoration, and you rightfully should be. Your car looks amazing. You've done an incredible job fixing it up.

    I'm guessing you've dropped a lot of money into this car (having noted the comment about the Virgos), but it looks like it was easily worth it. I would also predict that you are eager to show off this car, particularly to your friends. There isn't a single modern (teenager-driver) car that I can't think of that I would prefer over this wonderfully restored 242GT.

      Hi, i took them to a local rim shop and they grinded them down and painted them a "shadow chrome". Its supposidly what they used on a lot of new bmw rims, kinda pricey though so it was a grad present from my parents. It was about $130 cdn per rim
