    Floor painted silver and started on the roll cage. Just a bolt in, it was the only one I could find locally that was available. It was white so it was painted this awesome blue.

    Seats in next.

    Skyline R32 floor plan makes it easy to source seat frames.

    Had some trouble getting the 18 x 10.5's fitting in the rear arches and after hours of rolling them I decided to look for a different wheel. The Thais like a lot of poke and trying to explain what negative and positive offset is here was a lot more difficult than expected.
    Managed to find some 18 x 9.5's which is what the fronts are on the local classifieds so happy days as they slipped in perfectly.

    During the initial test drive it started crunching in to 2nd gear. Managed to get a 2nd hand box for around £200 with a whopping guarantee of zero lol.

    Its got an auto instrument cluster in it so was expecting it to have the auto spigot bearing in and low and behold there it was. Managed to get it out easily by drilling it and knocking it out with a chisel.

    In with the correct brass bush and some redline lightweight shock proof oil in the gearbox.

    The Viscous LSD didn't even get tested. I'd read too much badness about them so out came the MIG and the 4.1 got completely welded together.

    Got the rear strut brace mounts painted at the same time as the cage so its all matching.

    Nice build going on there Phil.
    What's the latest??
    You haven't updated in over a year.
    If you don't mind saying how much did you purchase the car for or how much would one of these cars set me back in thailand?

    Thanks.

    Wow $1000 is a bargain considering the cost of car's generally in Thailand.
    My other half's Thai and were thinking of moving from London to her home town Nonthaburi, So a Cifero is high on the list at a $1000.

    $1000 is a starting price and it will be a shit box and will need a lot of work to get it decent. If you do get one I have some spare parts to get you started and I know where to get everything you need including engine upgrades and tuning.
