ABANDONED R32 Skyline Restoration FINISHED! | Part 9

[@itsmikelake]

I'm SO happy with how this turned out! I'll be sad to see the Skyline go but i'm sure whoever the new owner is, they'll love it! And it'll all be worth it when we drop the new build...😝

[@Kaateruu]

Mike can you ask the owner if he allows his sovials to be public, id like to look at this in the future

[@maxlagewaard8959]

I'm glad you didn't drift it. Would have been sad to watch it go into a wall after all that hard work

[@JohnGalanis79]

Hi did you buy the paint from the guys at complete Auto paints?

[@markreid56]

Thankyou for preserving that skyline, looks great !

[@itsmikelake]

Cheers Mark! I'm wrapped with it

[@shameerkamran397]

After market Wheels? Carbon lip, spoiler or any other bits and bobs 🥲💔

[@timdelongville2854]

really knocked it out of the park with this build. Well Done

[@stakman78]

Thats what she said... You bloody legend Mike. Awesome job bro.

[@byrnebuilds9089]

Well worth the slog with editing, as always *crisp* as ever, what a great final episode paying tribute to this R32 resurrection!

[@TheChoiceFiles]

You’re my hero. Love your work

[@RobRichards584]

So Groot is all grown up. Your a one man whirlwind Mr Lake!

[@itsmikelake]

Haha it would seem so! Thank you bro 😁

[@reed3437]

Looks great Mike. I bought and started restoring an r32 as well. The interior is done and maintenance is done. Next is paint and new exterior trim pieces, but my body fortunately is in better shape. I hope mine will come out like yours.

[@itsmikelake]

That’s awesome bro! I’m sure you’ll do an amazing job. Good luck with your build 🤝🏻

[@dylanvale8238]

I actually love this guy

[@FaMeVeRoX]

Incredible work Mike!

[@25detlife]

Love the way you bring cars back to life. Its so tidy. Sad to see it go

[@itsmikelake]

Thank you bro. Such a cool car. I still own it for now 👀 haha

[@DK.100]

Broooooo!!!😱🤯it turned out bludy mint👌💯hats off to you and anyone that played a part in the build🫡😎💯 it's always good to see a JDM classic saved from rotting away or getting cut up, mad respect💯🫡 good stuff bro👍 on to the next one💯🔥🔥🔥

[@grimairbrush]

Missed a dent on the lh rear quarter above the lip, mike 1 tip when prepping parts that have rust, sand it down like you did, then grab some deoxidine (also known as deoxit) which is phosphoric acid, wipe this on, leave it for 20minutes and wipe off with water, sand again if theres still rust, repeat, the acid gets into the paws of the metal and kills it, then sand and prep as normal, that lh guard will have rust return as this wasn't done, just a pro tip.

[@A.T.S_carsandprojects]

I've loved this series you did an amazing job

[@itsmikelake]

Thank you!

[@adrianf6669]

looks awesome. I love the clean factory look

[@DerekSnyder-im8lh]

You took so much metal out the car and did a fantastic job making it look like nothing ever happened!

[@quacksau]

r32 looks awesome! woulda loved to hear you driving it around and enjoying it for a bit! Keen as a bean for the next project though

[@itsmikelake]

I'll definitely be driving it round for the next week or so making sure she's good to go before heading to her new home. SUCH a cool car!

[@franklingaits5866]

[@itsmikelake]

Thanks so much! I think you’ll love the new project…it’s wild 🤣

[@RedSport555]

[@itsmikelake]

I appreciate you! The next build will hopefully ghee you up even more 😁

[@itsmikelake]

Cheers Nish. I’m so happy with the end result!

[@highestqualitypigiron]

Not many people would go to these lengths to save this car. I think the R32 is amazing looking so I am glad someone can enjoy this car.

[@jonplayle6954]

Nice looking car that bugga is now bro 👌 good stuff

[@itsmikelake]

Cheers Jon 🤝🏻

[@zakwillis6310]

Done a pretty sweet job I noticed for it to be perfect needs a wet sand and buff get the orange peel out of the paint, and also the rear badges can see the residue from when you took them off

[@itsmikelake]

Yeah I’ll be wet sanding and buffing It this week 😁. I always make sure I spray plenty of clear coat so I can wet sand the peal out. I left the residue on so I knew exactly where to put the badges back on once painted. Works well!

[@projectclark123]

You have done really well

[@itsmikelake]

Thanks!

[@firedustman]

good works ! I hope you make big profits ! 🤑🤑

[@letpigsfly]

Really like how this turned out but I was kind of hoping for a more long term thing with this. I'm sure GTR style arches were mentioned in the early videos.

[@itsmikelake]

That was the plan! But it didn’t feel right to ruin such a nice car 😅. Hopefully you like the new project 😝

[@icanseeyouallfromuphere]

Very pretty work Mister 👌🏻💯

Dam want it so bad one of the best builds next to the rwd evo.

[@itsmikelake]

Thanks so much bro! Yeah it's SUCH a cool car aye. I wish I could keep her.

[@MrPeterheveran]

Beautiful build and the right call selling. I still think taking a cheap nissan juke. Dropping an sr20 in it and making it a drift car. They have a tunnel because the make an awd version. Same dimensions as an s15. It would turn heads and a lot cheaper to do. Plus I think it is the way people will have to go in the future. Turning crossovers into drift cars. They have tunnels because they have "awd".

[@Datboi_Mo]

Most of them don't have a large enough tunnel for a transmission though.

[@AyDRIPZx]

Whaaat i had no idea you owned DTAC, i used to always buy DTAC clothing back in my bmx days oh man ill have to get some more soon, loving how the skyline is looking homie good work

[@itsmikelake]

Haha crazy aye! I'm the proud owner & loving it. Can't wait to release the new summer lineup

[@jakekats6]

Thanks so much bro! Dm me for info 👊🏻

[@davidellis85]

Looking forward to next week's vid. The 32 4 doors personally are my favourite, shouldn't have much trouble offloading that gem.

Honestly, I wish I could keep it! I need a bigger shop 🤣. Thanks bro 🤝🏻

[@cyberreks]

this r32 in its original from is just heaven for me, sad to see it going...

[@itsmikelake]

Totally agree. I really wish I could keep it but sometimes we need to make these hard decisions to move forward

[@cyberreks]

@@itsmikelake i can agree with you mike,sometimes you have to let it go for better

[@NFSgremlin]

I know it sounds like a bad idea but you can import Toyota centuries (luxury sedan with a v12!!!!) for under 10k into Australia and make a sick build out of one

[@itsmikelake]

That sounds like an awesome idea to me! Haha. I'm very interested to see what you think of the next build 👀

[@joz1751]

silver is tricky to get down sometimes, id blend the front guards when doing the bonnrt again, an that rear door looks too light so blend lh door an qtr. gd work isnt easy bro

[@itsmikelake]

Totally agree, the silver is SO tricky! Overall i'm happy with the results given it's a $1000 respray. Thanks for the advice!
