I picked up the car this evening, loaded it in a driving rain. Had to remove the front calipers and drag the rear wheels, could not free up either end. I was soaked to the bone. I will post some pictures as soon as possible. I need to assess the overall condition and make decisions on the possibilities. It has all of the original parts down to the original battery cables. I did pull the spark plugs, (positive thinking), and sprayed some BP Blaster down the cylinders and put the plugs back.

And here are the pics. It looks great!

IF the plug is fuel varnish, then pore laquer thinner in the tube and be patient. It will dissolve the plug. May take a few attempts dependng on the extent of the plug, but it will get it clear.

The lenses from VR are about what a whole set of lights costs... I know there are at least two other vendors that make replacement lenses, but I can't locate them right now. Repro's aren't exactly the same as JDM due to trademark infringement issues

Overnight from Japan if we have to....

Mike when I get to the garage I'll take a photo. Might be good to start a new thread on the topic. To my knowledge they are all clear no tint (unless an owner decided to tint it later). The rear louvre's were quite popular as the Australian sun is quite intense...so tinting wasn't that common on S30Z's.

*update* Installed the Wildwood brake kit

It's my new project! Steve thank you for your original sharing of this ebay find. I originally went to see it due to it's proximity to me thinking parts car at best due to the perception of rust having taken over. I found that the rust you see is the rust you get with the exception of just above the frame rails in the front wheel wells. The floors are solid the fuel tank looks solid. I attribute this to sitting inside the heated garage. Original wheel covers, within the first 5000, all original parts intact. I am stoked for the restoration of this series one car. This is an original owner 50,000 car with a story to tell. Would this be considered a "Barn Find"?
