sweet random snap from a recent discussion thread about Skylines and race livery. I quite like the Calsonic colour(s) myself, even though I’ve never been a large fan of blue cars. (It’s second only to the DR30 Silhouette red’n'black in my books, but that’s a given!)
Of equal interest is the large MIKUNI logo on the wall in the background… now how sweet would that be on a t-shirt?!
Number 24, Calsonic HR31
but riddle me this: who drove the #24 car, and when? The only one I remember is #12.
Well, almost. Still gotta sort out some proper front seats to match the rest of the interior trim, find some O.Z Racing centre caps for the rims, and buy some Cusco adjustable camber top mounts via Ewan @ hayatonka…
But other than that I’m actually signing off on one of my projects for the first time! (the “I’m finished!” post from last year now seems a little bit premature in hindsight, but ah well.) let’s hope that neither banana nor squid take as long to complete!
here’s an up-to-date photo of the car as it sits now. More after the jump.
I’m fairly confident this is the only TX3 of its condition left in this country… possibly the world? What a maddening thought.

Finally! The end figure after not using all the photos and playing about a bit came to 262. Here’s a quick sample, you can see the rest on the RC flickr;

A little while back some of you may recall I posted an entry about a PC110 that a chap in the Ukraine owns, well.. even back then I was supposed to be sorting out getting him scans/photos of the book to aid him in his restoration. I finally got onto it a week or so back, after having no luck finding him his own Manual, which would have made the whole process easier. Anyway, so I took over 200 photos of the damn thing and then decided it would be easier to upload them to flickr than it would be to email them. Now seeing as I did that I might as well share the link with the rest of you, just in case you’re ever curious about part numbers for the 4-cylinder C110 Skyline sedan.

It also gave me something else to post about whilst I wait for the Teretonga – Classic Speed Fest. photos to upload. Today has been a looooooong day.
So, there you go Glomerus, I hope that can help you out at least a little.

Just a teaser for now as I have around 4-500 photos to process and I couldn’t bring them all with me on one day as I ran over my USB Flashdrives a while ago…
Pre-65 Ford Mustang Fastback
Stay tuned!
