Not really a "restoration" though, but anyway I like to believe that I gave that car a second life... So here's my story: I had to ride a bike to work (20km) everyday for 6 months. Obviously I was dreaming of buying a car, so I started to save as much as I could eating just rice and chicken I was cooking myself. Eventually in 3 months I got a little over $1k which was just enough to buy this THE CHEAPEST manual car in my whole prefecture! The dealership was selling it with a legit car inspection (which I thought is hard to get) and was assuring me that the car is in perfect condition and nothing is wrong with it. However, couldn't let me test drive and check it thoroughly... My faith in japanese honesty and integrity back than was strong as ever... But hey, in the end of the day I had a nice project car! :')
