Sufficed to say it will be getting much redder, a bit lighter, better aero, no extra power, and a host of other things I never got around to doing in previous cars. just add one photo to this:

^^This IIRC it also had front fender braces, if it does maybe its the same car? Pretty sure the guy was an imoc member.. ... so probably not. Last owner had this car 16 years Magic Beans wrote:Best check them for buried treasure then!
We do keep finding bits on there that I had no clue were on it!
Get it home and you would start doing a proper inspection and find more then what the auction papers or agent in Japan had mentioned. 
Although, other than the issues I was aware of, this car hasn't revealed any bad surprises. Quite the opposite in fact, which is why it quickly went from being the donor to being the new main car. (must remember to get a good shot of it!) did sway me 
Given the spec it was lavished with care in the past so nice you decided to restore. I've done the same on a few cars and it's satisfying to restore back cars like this imo.

Once I'm happy everything is perfect mechanically it will be going to The Pod. I've not taken one of my projects down the 1/4 since Mule 1!

* Small and large cam gasket set* NS inner CV boot kit * Spark plugs* Clutch fluid* Gearbox oil* Engine oil* Oil filter After driving it I suspect most of the observations I made were things that would be service cured. Nowt better than a load of service items to give it a new lease of life. Hope you have loads of fun with it mate.
