    Cleanest build ever? looks awesome man! Always wanted a 32 :( Maybe i'll do the same and when I get pissed off with the 13 just take the RB and put it in a 32 along with the front suspension!

    Look forward to seeing more progress on this!

    Absolutely love this build. The flares, tubs, everything about this build, wow. I've owned three 32's, I love that body style. I still have a 32 hood sittin in my garage. I'd give it to you if you were closer, hahaha.

    Yes, most of my life. Love this place. Only thing I don't like about your build is its giving me a hell of a craving to buy another, haha. Can't wait to see her in action

    I'd have to ferry my car over. Okinawa is an island south of the mainland. I would absolutely love to bring my car to Ebisu. Down here we had three circuits, but all have closed down or stopped letting drifters in. So now it's back to street sliding at least once my car is done, which should be very shortly. 32's are getting pretty hard to find now, especially now that many are over 25 years old and can now be exported to the USA. Alot of people are buying them up. If one comes along for a good deal, I will definately jump on it.

    Just read this start to finish, what a winner build! I'm new to r bodies but enjoying ownership so far only downside to your build is I now want to go cut it up ha ha. Once finished though this will look stunning!
