1984 R30 Skyline

I don't understand it myself but, ever since I was in middle school I've hooked on this car. In Spring last year I decided I'd drive to college and my dad bought me this Skyline. The car cost 650,000 Yen, it's completely stock with one previous owner and no repair history so it was a good buy.

But, after I got my dream car, I was being a bit too frisky with it. About 3 months after I bought it I was going too fast and hydroplaned into an embankment. I wasn't hurt my the Skyline's frame was warped and the car was written off by the accident. By all rights it was decommissioned, but I couldn't coldly throw away the my Skyline after all we had been through together so I borrowed 1,600,000 Yen from my father for a complete overhaul (we got around 600,000 Yen from the insurance).

Right after the repairs the head gasket blew, that was another 130,000 yen :(

After all those war stories I hope my Skyline can have a long relationship together.
