    I bought this on a wim recently. I've never owned a rotary & thought I'd give it a go.
    I have no idea what I'm doing really.
    I'd like a Bodykit & overfenders. Maybe stick a nismo bonnet vent in there too.
    It already has kouki rear lights. Has coilovers & a decent turbo back exhaust.
    I'll probably strip the shell & start again.
    Even though the car looks proper ratty it' actually a very solid chassis.
    If anyone has parts standard or tuner pm me as I'm looking for seat runners, random trim & any after market bits.
    Here's how it sits on my drive.

    I pulled all the interior out as the carpet was really manky & I wanted to dye it. So as it was out I decided to rip up all the crusty sound deadening, cleaning the floors & fitting new lining.

    After thinning out some of the looms I refitted the heater & carpet.
