Do you know how they managed to drill out the spot welds without penetrating the panel it was attached to? Also the video made it look quite easy; simple things like transferring over those attachment brackets from the side windows is a right pain

Any ideas what you are going to do there? Or are you just installing the front lift system?
I am going to 9e for their fully adjustable setup. It costs a fair bit but I heard from another forum member who has done it that it is worth the money.

On another note, I haven't seen and RS for sale for some time. Any speculation on values now?
:thumbs:
Yes. This is exactly what I was going to say: it is an expensive project, no doubt. But it will still cost miles and miles less than an original. And I don't know how Isysman feels about driving hard, but one of my motivators in building a replica GT2RS is not having the worry that if something happens on a track day, etc, I will be destroying a large som of money AND a piece of history-just a mediocre a sum of money :grin:Mr02ard said:£304k 😳
While Spot welds are drilled with flat drills with only a small pilot point and there are even fixtures that allow drilling to a specific depth, you will always see the bottom spot when the panels come apart.ELA said:Do you know how they managed to drill out the spot welds without penetrating the panel it was attached to?
