    And the house build thread is awesome, too. Made me look for a house to buy in Japan... especially considering prices in Socal are running away from reality.

    Yeah, it’s an amazing transformation, especially the garden. Their efforts were a CNN story:

    Just Kidding (or am I) let's see some photos of this Roadster!!
    Ask and shall recieve, I still need to create a build log on here, well copy from another site that is

    Here are some photos from last summer




    This is how it looks at the moment, Angled Zoom Engineer Centre Plate Bracket w/ USDM Sized Front Plate, The Front bumper is now filled and resprayed at this time I just bunged the holes up with some rubber grommets and painted white (Granted I could have gone Jap sized but the USDM is slightly smaller and I think with UK Plates looks better. Also the eagle eyed viewers might spot some mooneyes plate bolts) (Also need to sort out the panel gap the passenger wing, struggling to find time to do the smallest job these days)

    Forgot to say, I sent off the letter about last week, most probably won't hear back at all but it's worth a shot
