Looks awesome man, looking forward to following the progress

great looking car, good move, rather than a tribute, get the real deal with all the goodies on it!

So good to have more of these in NZ.  Congrats and hope the resto goes well for ya. Looking forward to updates

id guess at fire wall stampings being fine, so long as you have japan dereg cert

at least alternator charging circuit will only be mild fuckery on these

mega jealous, was one of the dream cars growing up, look forward to seeing more of it

You must be pretty stoked to be getting such good photos of it if you're in Canada. Would feel good to have that level of detail so you don't have to freak out about what they are finding.

Yeah, really nice to have the car bro's back home doing the lords work behind the scenes

I think for a car this age, you can't really expect something that is perfect. I think I got this car relatively cheap considering where they're heading, and even spending more doesn't necessarily mean it'll be any tidier either!

looks like it's going to be a great rebuilt - epic that you can find some NOS parts out there too !

Some quality work going into this!
