yeah i know it will never be the same but for me it will do 8) if you took it too a shop to have it worked on with a new panel they would do the same thing.. just lil cleaner on the spot welds...

yup just a lil cut and paste job.. of course im going to be useing a backing plate that will help with the welding and it will make it just as Strong if not stronger at the ends where im pasting it into so the panel will not break seams or buckle under stress. 8) when i get done with the seams i will make sure i take picks of it all and after i get done painting it you will never know that this R had a skin replacement.. :twisted:

Dont let anyone bag on your R I think your R is one of the COOlest I have ever seen! Not too many can come back from the Dead like yours did! (I think you should name it casper or something Ghost related) I really envy you! its not just a regualar type R any more its your Type R! not many of us here have actually had a hand in building our cars (besides performance parts) :P
Post more pics once you ge them and I would recomend making a photo album (something you will charish forever/ atleast I would) :wink:

Very cool indeed. It's a wonderful thing to see one come back from the brink.

I hope to see it on the streets of Oregon soon.
