That suspension set up sounds awful. The rest looks pretty cool. I'm glad the whole thing hasn't rusted away like a lot of Japanese cars from that time period

Congratulations.

Notice how they did the windows and rooflines in those days. Not only could you easily get in and out without banging your heads, but you could get into a car and actually SEE out.

Thanks man appreciate it,and I've got so much love for these old cars the styling cues were just outrageous,I love the lines on this car,I've always been a sucker for wagons/estates so this is kind of a dream for me to own this car,I know it may sound stupid as the car isn't mint nor fast but she has tonnes of character and runs like a top

That last shot on the high level bridge? Got to love that they use very little salt in the winter. Keeps rust at bay.
