I imported a vehicle form Japan when I was stationed there in the Marines. A 1987 Toyota Levin. I got the car for dirt cheap because the frame was bent. Luckly for me after I got out, I got a job working at a body shop so I was able to pull it for nearly free.

Currently the car is torn apart, I got the engine out waiting to put it back in, because I have a broken hard line in the transmission tunnel. Going to make a new line and put it back in before I put the engine back in.

I've got the dash taken out going to make a custom dash

All the wires are ripped out of the car, next week I start rewiring the whole car.

Because the car came from Okinawa Japan, anything that is bare metal rusted (including electrical connection) so I've spent way too much time troubleshooting electrical problems, so I'm just starting over from scratch. The car isn't going to be DD. I'm going to be putting Antique plates on it but, Its going to be track car.
