I promised I would stay away from these cars but typically I end up with another on my drive.
I've had 2 before, my black one I imported from Japan myself and the other I took on and restored fully.
This is my black one I owned for 8 years and tbh I don't think there's a cleaner one in this country.

This is another that I bought for some fancy bits but ended up restoring it.

Now I have somehow ended up with this one on my drive, lad asked me how much he should ask for it and few days later it's outside my house. It's come from Scotland and has been in the country since '08 iirc.
It does need some TLC but it will be getting the full treatment and this time with some boost.
Been collection bits for the chassis as it's all coming apart with new bushes, ball joints, links, arms, suspension, mounts, traction bars etc.
This is how it stands atm, body is a bit rough but last thing I do will be bodywork which will include all new metal on arches and sills and a repaint back to the original flint black metallic it came in.
The lips/skirts have been removed so I could see true condition of the shell. Previous owner patched up one arch and corner of sill to stop rust spreading and it's been left in primer.
Yes it has the SUPER rare Access round fog lamps.
