R32 Shootingbrake.

Thought I would share a few pics of the progress of my R32 Wagon.

The Beginning













The last one shows its current state. Needs a lot more filling and sanding as you can see on the roof. Had to primer to better see what still needs doing.

As far as mods go, so far the roof has been moved back, side skirts molded from putty, new front spoiler (will post pics when I get round to taking some), wings widened and a new rear.
Gonna build this as a support/team car for the Veilside S14 race car I am working on.

Looks sweet!

Still trying to get over my initial reaction of "He did what to a skyline?!? "

Other than that I have to say you are doing a nice job with the conversion.

[flyonthewall]

Coming along very nicely indeed! What will you be doing to the roof, sanding flush or continuing the lines?

[UKSupraboy]

Gonna try to follow the lines, I think that would be more realistic. If I cant get it right, then the other option as a last resort!

In reply to Jarod Li, I went into a bit of shock and got the shakes thinking 'what the hell have I done??!!' as soon as the roof came off but I always thought the skyline would look pretty good as an estate.

I'm really keen to see how this turns out. You have put alot of work into it already

[Toksin]

I believe Nissan built Skyline wagons up until the R30 or R31...not entirely sure...

R34 Wagon would own me

Looks great.you have put a lot of work into this project.Hopefully it turns out great.

[Suislide]

wow. dude, that looks awesome so far! get us a few more pics of it's current state, i'm anxious to see what the new front wing looks like! what kit are you using for your Veilside race S14? you do know they never entered a race car in a series, right? of course, they never made an R32 wagon, so i can eat my hat right about now. if i had any putty skills at all, i would try to make the C-West one in your signature...

[JE123]

Hehehe I would have never imagined this, but I think it looks amazing. Keep us updated on the progress.

Just a tip for when you are doing the roof lines, try putting layers of strips of masking tape along the roof where you want the higher section to start, when you get the masking tape up high enough, fill it and when you remove the masking tape, you should be left with a line that needs barely any sanding.

Looks good.

Have you just cut off the trunk and seperated the roof, then just extended the roof in the gap?

Thanks for the info GTi-VR6-A3, had a look around and found this:-

Stagea

Not sure what it was based on?

I will use the pics as a ref to try to make the roof rails though.

Here's a cfew more shots to keep you folks going:-







The next couple are pretty bad pics but hopefully show where I followed the original door lines and removed the filler from the door panels that can be seen in the first lot. Also shows how much wider the wings and skirts are.





Still needs much more work on the roof and the front spoiler needs to be a bit more agressive I think.
Will keep you folks posted as it progresses a bit more next week.
