All comment are appreciated.

thanks
Part of the charm is the right side drivers wheel. To import one from Japan is next to impossible. I could not take mine home from Tokyo. Had something to do with safety standards and the right hand drive not being crash tested. Suppose I could of taken him apart and shipped. However my guy had some serious corrosion in the back hatch and trunk. Oh one of the differences between Japan spec and American spec is the bake reservoir has only one chamber and not split. So lose one brake line all of the brakes do not work. Something also to do with the windscreen and windows. Oh the 2.0 liter engine never made it to America. Spare parts would be a pain.
