Haha yeah one day, maybe. It would be cool with a rotor. If only I could afford the second mortgage on one

I can only imagine how hard finding the coupe specific bits will be so its great to be mostly complete.

Haha. Cheers!

 

[Flauski]

Yeah buyee is easier, usually a chassis number works well in searches because they crossover in English and Japanese.

I hope you keep it, even just do a basic tidy up on the rust etc, have it running and driving. But understandable, house is probably more important.

Looks like I may have found a home for it in a fellow OS garage, so hopefully the thread will continue! Unfortunately a basic tidy up of rust isn't really possible, intention was never a full Resto but there's a fair swag of metal work to get through, which I may still be involved with... Will keep you posted
