Hi not long on this site, thought I'd share some pics of my current car, it's a 1986 Japanese import, my plan is to restore it and turn it into a more sought after uk specification, anyway collected the car from the docks , got it home and the engine rattled almost immediately, so the rebuild started from there, I'll let the pics do the talking,

Came back from my holidays, and my engine was ready for collection, it got some mild head work etc, the toda cam pulleys are only for show,

Since my car is a Japanese model I wanted the number plate lights holes welded up, as I'm now putting the lights into the rear bumper

Strut and springs painted satin black, like factory finish
