Banpei's two door panda Trueno from Japan

[banpei]

A smallish update on the Trueno: it's currently at a local oldtimer garage to have its timing belt replaced. I bought the timing belt almost a year ago with the intention of doing it myself, but I simply didn't have the time. It's definitely overdue for replacement, hence I ask someone else to do the job for me.


I bought some zenki Japanese seat belt locks. These are different from the USDM and European ones. My current ones have broken plastic, and my daughter cut herself on one of them. Can't have that. Once the Trueno is back, I'll paint them with a fresh coat of blue paint and replace the seat belt locks.


I also bought some door trim clip replacements from Japan. I know I can probably buy them from here, but a set of 20 of those only costs 4 euros, so I didn't even bother to look. About half of mine are broken or don't stay in the retainer, hence the door cards look wobbly. Hopefully, this will resolve the issue.


I also found a roof side rail garnish on Yahoo Auctions, currently on its way to the warehouse in Japan and hopefully soon in Europe!
Same story as with the seat belt lock: it looks scruffy, and I will paint it with a fresh coat of blue paint once it arrives.
