Wow, way to go. It looks really clean (minus the stickers on the window). Definitely impressed, especially with how little you spent to get it to its current state.

Would love to see it in person, especially when that wrap is completed.

Good luck with the rest of your plans man.

Kinokuniya Bookstore in Japantown has a huge section on all things automotive. Everything are from Japan. If you are lucky you can find a few VIP mags laying around. But like everyone else, I just subscribe and get my copy delievered to my door steps every month. Hassle free!
