Hats off to YOU! Not many people would put the time, energy and money into a car that was T-Boned, no matter how rare it is! You saw what this car is worth and I'm glad you saved it! Ok, some 'obvious' questions if you don't mind (Sorry)!:
1) Was that a true Japanese rally car, or just painted up to look like one?
2) How the heck could you get the car here as a street car? I know if it's a "track orientated only car" it's a lot easier. In that case, it could never hit the streets...
Great job and keep up the good work! I look forward to future updates and photos! Amazing!

up date the car has been kinda just holding out for a while actually drove it to work today just waiting till the next couple of months then the re-rebuild starts again trans rebuilt re seal the motor different turbo setup and gutted and caged maybe even a wide body and also the 5 lug swap so stay tuned
Wow this is a blast from the past, glad you revived her. I got that thing running in ~06 or so when it was imported and actually almost bought it after driving it around for a few months (too bad I was a poor college kid). Any pics of the engine bay?

well the car has mostly been sitting around well due to the fact of working towards home onwership and well looks like we found a spot so the car will once again be going under a complete tear down and rebuild so look for some updates through out the summer
