All that work for £2500!!! I'll be honest i expected at the very least 2/3 times that!!!!!!
I will be honest, if thats the costs I am not suprised that A - the work isn't finished, and B - kristian couldn't make the costs viable.
To put it in perspective a good turbo conversion would cost more than that, let alone all that extra work.
IMO
Am I alone in thinking this with costs

with that money you could buy a k11 or a starlet gt or glanza..
or a starlet gt or glanza..Yeah but dan you lose interest in most things after about 2 days
If I had £2400 then some extra I'd definately get a real nice ride. Like a sierra glx on unmatched steelies and dents in the panels or something.
you could even buy hair dye
but i mean
a GLX :O it must seriously have to have a bumper missing or summit?

i had a look at it on monday and i was impressed with the amount of work, right enough its dragging on a bit but theres a lot of work involved,especially seeing as its only worked on as a hobby, was impressed also with the sr20'd facelift, helped me alot with mounting issues
the garage is really nice to see though if your a micra nut,well, a micra nut who likes putting big engines in

Cheers pal.. Thanks for coming up..
The project will under no circumstances be terminated .. This was never on the cards..
The 2.4k Arnold had so far invested in this was only an initial payment..
In terms of costs..
To put it into perspective.. the pulsar donor car was 1700..
The Work was very well priced and is to a high standard..
Returning his investment is the right thing to do.. There was never any risk of him losing any money..
K-Kustom is currently underway with a Fully forged 200bhp+ Turbo charged 1.3K11.. an SR20 Conversion to follow the current one in the workshop.. and the Wide Arch Micra will be making a return.
Once these current projects are out of the way.. work will continue on the K10

The money is being refunded as I've basically paid for a project which isn't going anywhere and has really run behind. I've got £2000 back, just waiting on the final bit. Kristian is going to try and continue with it in a few months time, however this is totally up to him. The car as it stands isn't worth anything and is useless to me, and I know giving it to someone else isn't really an option - they'd most likely want to start from scratch.
I'd happily pay the money again if the car ever makes significant progress or looks like it is near completion, but its not looking likely if we're being realistic about it.
The car / shell is still registered to myself and hasn't been sold to anyone, although I guess if Kristian has had enough of it, flogging it on is always an option.

There's a company down south who have shown interest in taking the conversion on. Although ideally they would want to start again on a new shell, they've asked to see what condition it's in (by bringing the car to them)
They've done engine conversions and custom work, and are familiar with Nissan's, so that's a little bit of positivity to come the projects way in a long time!

indeed i do...:grinning:
I've seen this car when i picked mine up from Kristian the other day, and it has had work done to it. Fair play to him for taking it on, it's not a job that i would want to do and i work on cars for a living. It was bad enough for me putting the engine in mine lol. This will be an amazing machine when completed, can i have a go when it's done Kris?
OP

No because it's my car and nobody is test piloting it
Interesting you write that though, as Kristian said it was in the hands of someone else...............

was gona say i swear u said today that hes passed it on to someone else.
Ive Collected the car back as the main fabricator is on holiday.. Ive had it just over a week.
Its going back on Wednesday.
Like I said, I wont comment on anything until I feel there is a large update or somthing of interest to Arnold..
If this is 3 weeks or 3 months..
The car was only due to continue work in MAY/APR but Ive used an oppurtunity to get some work done out of my hands.. Even if it means too'ing and fro'ing from the fabricators every month or so.

I know, but i'd appreciate anything at the moment mate as i've not had an update since June! Photos etc.. even if it's just a PM with your plan of action, rough dates. etc.

It would have been amazing to see, even just the SR20. I had a lot of people following it's progress on my website, over 100 subscribers who aren't on the MSC, and it was linked to on forums all over the globe. Could have done wonders for Kristian's business - but you'll probably agree its just not happening. Progress never materialises and it should have never gotten to this situation where i'm just left in the dark for months.
