nihon kyusha Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I can't wait to get started. I've been wanting one for years. With my schedule its gonna take a while but it will be worth it in the end. My buddy has a line on a 2 door I might pick up next year if I'm done by then. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 the exhaust mani ( or header maybe?) lol, looks like someone got mad at it and wasmholdin a hammer It was probably flattened for clearance purposes. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Pretty rough shape but awesome none the less. Looks like there is a nice set of buckets in there maybe? Idk how it can be said the mirrors are authentic just from that pic but regardless nos sets sell for 200 bucks on yahoo jp. I would just keep them. The headers could have been done like that for clearance but since its RHD Idk why they would need to. Quote Link to comment
mattyhacks71 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yes yes yes!!! Leave the paint, watanabes, slam that bitch and call in good!! I've never actually seen a Rathako :devil: Quote Link to comment

Homeboyx Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Jelly.. any chance of you bringing it to the states? lol Quote Link to comment
nihon kyusha Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 thanks everyone for all your comments . i'm pretty excited to get started also. i'll post up some pics this week end but as you will see i definatly will be starting on the drivers side. i think that was the side facing the ocean and its gonna need alot of love under neath. passanger side is not that bad at all but the other side makes up for it. interior is also pretty good i could jump in there right now and probably get away with it. i just couldn't beat the price and the guys are really cool at the shop i work out of. my plans are to bring it back with me in about 3-4 years when i return there and maybe another car also. but for now just one at a time here.
