Hey Guys....I realized that after almost two years and many, many, many posts asking (and receiving!) for your andvice and help, I've never shown what my project looked and looks so far.
I started (and like the car, haven't quite finished!) a webpage through my MSN account, and I put some 45 pictures (out of 400+ that I still have of practically everything done ) of the car as I worked on it.
Right now, it is just a windshield, interior soft trim, and of course..paint. Other than that, this baby is done. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed making them happen...
You can see them by cutting and pasting this webaddress(unless it allows you to click as a link):

Take care!

Nice, Jorge, and I agree with the Man from Oz - displaying them in before/after order really shows off the work.
Thanks for the inspiration and motivation.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot, but the pictures tab doesn't have any pictures and the slide show doesn't appear to be active.

I was able to view the slideshow from my PC at work, must be I don't have a necessary add-in here at home or something.
It is clear you've done a ton of hard work.
Did the front brake calipers/cylinders come that colorful from the factory?

As much as I want to keep the look as original as possible....couldn't help it. Give me a can of high temp. spray paint and I get possessed by something!
But hey....at least the calipers have "Nissan blue" on them!

I was just wondering...I thought I saw one of the vendors list a "caliper green" color and I thought that might be it on yours. Mine will probably just be grey.

Andy:
As a matter of fact, my calipers did have traces of green on them when I was cleaning them. I saw the green paint in some vendor's site, but thought it wasn't for my year because nothing else in that car has a green coating.
Anyone knows or have info about this? Is the green something year-specific? Pictures anyone?
