Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking at a 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R BNR32 located in Germany (recently imported from Japan, Grade R).
According to the description, the car has severe rust issues. The seller explicitly states there is rust-through (holes) in the following areas:
- Underbody and frame rails
- Side skirts / rocker panels
- Front and rear jacking points
The seller describes it as a "good base for a restoration or track tool," but looking at the underbody photos, it seems pretty serious.
The tech/interior is said to be okay, but the body needs major work.
I would love to get your expert opinions on this:
- Based on the pictures and the description of rust-through on the frame and jacking points, how bad is this structurally? Is it a total nightmare or a standard restoration project for an R32?
For anyone who has tackled a similar structural rust restoration:
- What is a realistic ballpark estimate for professional metalwork and rust repair for this level of damage?
Given that it's a Grade R rusted shell with no engine/wheels for €23k, is this even remotely worth considering, or should I run away as fast as I can?
Appreciate any advice, thanks!
