I'd roll it. Looks the business. Would want to tickle up the 2T-G a bit more though, and pay half of his asking price.

Flares are factory fitment, but agree the seats & stereo fitment are a bit rugged. Easy fix though. Worth every cent

Air con was a factory option, but thats not one I dont think. I'm in the too dear for the condition camp. Just a shame they're so dear in Japan, I'd love to own one.

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Not the same model but gives a very good idea what it would have looked like originally
This is a TE37

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

Yeah - the aircon...
I had a 1978 Holden Sunbird Torana when I worked in oz
It had an aircon similar to this - a separate unit that sat underneath the glovebox - it was a holden aircon unit fitted by the dealer.
Man - it worked soooo well! It would pump out air at about -4 degrees!
The aircon guy was mega impressed when I got it regassed - he said modern units never put out air that cold!

modern aircon is specifically designed not to go so cold, so that the water it removes from the air doesnt freeze and $&#$% things up
