EDIT: Lovely web host holder didn't email me to advise time was up, and reckon it takes 5 working days to process, so pics offline for a bit
And collected today with the help of my friend Jay to run over the mechanicals for me, and myself over the body and other stuff.
Things it needs:
New radiator cap
coolant flush
change thermostat
Vital fluid change with new filters
rocker cover gasket
New brake pads (currently has Lawso Spec equipped)\
dents pulled, bit of paint here and there
Good cut and polish
new interior door lock/ latches
bit of trim on drivers side
few electrics sorted and a damn good clean all round.
All for the bargain price of....
$750
was advertised at $1200.
Guys mechanic was obviously trying to get a new motor out of the guy given he claimed it was overheating... which my friend found out was due to a radiator cap that can't hold pressure.
Engine comp came back 165 exact per cylinder.
Was taken for a thrash and the blown spray is the result of an unkept cooling system and the ship cap.
easy fix, will get stuck into it next weekend.
Body kit and rims to come and the cars done.
Dents:
Other marks plus location of fuel filter, so happy where it's placed.
Wife in the NX more suited, love overflow of brownness
very happy with the buy.

Looks like a good project, selling after you finish it all up?

Re: Astron Boy's new.... Nissan...
Tiny bit of work today, woke up early, but took me so long getting used to where everything was, setting things up etc.
flushed the radiator
changed fuel filter
removed air intake baffles
changed the rear brake pads (fronts never arrived )
cleaned the engine bay a bit, engine mount metal is stained.
found I need a new alternator and timing chain tensioner
washed the car and the targa channels
buffed the boot lid and passenger side qtr panel
took some junk out. (weight reduction begins )

Not much today, woke early to sneak a bit in whilst most were in bed.
Then a bit toward the sunset.
Noted the cut in fabric at the B pillar brace.
Also noted my drivers side seat belt is twisted, may have to remove the plastic trim cover to investigate why.
Removed rear glass window stickers advertising the car has A/C... lol
Removed the radio and cassette deck as they did not work and it's simply dead weight, replacement soon.
Installed wiring for HID kit, yet to complete
Cleaned out the water channels that was filled with dirt and leaves and was badly damp there.
Cleaned out the targa channels, coated in dirt, and noted a few spots need rubbing back and painting for protection.
