Whats it like driving without a windshield?
I read an article in Redline Magazine about these GTiR's, they seem like heaps of fun!
Yes officer, I did hit a pedestrian, but instead of dwelling on that why not focus on how many I've missed?
You should blast the stock wheels, and hit them with some polish and then clear coat it for some bling points.

I thought Pre 95' JDM cars are legal in North America.. Thus the abundance of Skyline R33/ Legacy GT-B/etc..
Nope... 25 yeah or older... "Classics"... You guys in Canada can get them, but not us. Motorex in CA got Skylines in because they did a ton of work to make them conform with USDOT. But not all Skylines are legal. I have a couple friends that have R-32's that are holding on to them till they hit the 25 year make. GT-B's are not legal ether, but these kinda of cars we did have so the paperwork is not super crazy, thats why I want one of those after my Pulsar is done...Originally Posted by chuckthefuk
So yeah, any can 1986 and older, not a problem...
Mrlancaster, Still have yet to drive it...
Huffer, I'm not a polished wheel kinda guy, and I dont have the OEM wheels... Sadly... I'm most likely going to get some 16's off Ebay just to have something to roll on that dont look like crap. It sucks building 4 different cars up. Gotta split the funds up...
This is awesome. I've been trying to find one of these for a while. Awesome work so far, keep it up!

Dead91Silvia's got it right, anything older than 25 years in the USA is usually no issue, same goes for anything older than 15 years in Canada. Having said that, I have recently seen 2 complete (non welded) JDM imports recently, one was a Legacy GT-B wagon (twin turbo etc) and one was a v5/6 Impreza STi Type R. both were definitely not legal to have in the USA but it makes me want one even more...Originally Posted by chuckthefuk
having said all that, i'm jealous of this build and even moreso of the Evo 5 in that pic. is that thing whole or was it welded back together?
Yeah, it's tricky having an imported car... I really have no idea who the original people where that got this car here. I'm walking a fine line with it, but it's worth it...
My friends Evo was brought into Canada legally and then delivered here. Right now he's working on tagging it. Not sure how yet, but he's trying to find a lope hole... I got my GT-B lope hole in my driveway.... a 96 L wagon... muhahaha
Vin swapper
I'm a car ninjaOriginally Posted by chuckthefuk
was it at WCSS? because there was one at the show with a VIN swap
nope...
i was referring to the GTB, not sure if that was clear
Ahh, I see says the blind man... No, I dont have one... yet... haha
lol well I was referring to the import GT-B that your friend has, and my question was if that car was at WCSS this year. Because there was a legit import GTB with a vin swap at the show.
Finally got some more work done! I did pickup a bunch of parts for it, just cant install them yet. Mostly just missing interior pieces I needed...
Finished the welding/grinding... Now I can get the rockers and A-pillars painted and a windshield installed! Running by February? we will see...
Blasted a bunch of undercoating in the rockers...
Undercoated the underside floorpan...
Now I get to splice things! yay!
And wiring... Not that bad though...
looks like you got the hard part done
Got a bunch more done... Only because of no work... :smt012
Body work is done of the rockers and floor pan...
And it's now in primer... Hoping to get it in paint this weekend!
beans! so cool.
Got the rockers and pillars painted! :smt026
Found a spot of rust... Took care of that right quick...
Got some of my wiring done (the right way, no butt connectors). I'll finish it on the other side tomorrow... I'm sleepy and have work to get done tomorrow...
Awesome!! This reminds me of my best friend's car. He has a Toyota Corolla AE82 FX16 GT-S in silver. I hope you get your Golf registered for the road soon!
