    Hey, Martin; I saw this place on a post Woolery made on FB so I wandered over!

    SM16: yeah, it's kind of a ridiculously long list, but it's a hobby and I don't have kids, so as long as my wife's reaction is shrugging and the occasional sigh I'm good to go. ;)

    What up, Revvie? I'll have to chat with you some time--working on some interior ideas involving either Defi or Speedhut gauges, some custom panels, toggles, etc., and custom leather work, as well. Once I've got some stuff worth photographing I'll let you know.

    Mr Funk, Welcome aboard! I'm in for seeing the work you've done as well. Japan must be an amazing place to drive/explore in a roadster.

    -Cheers,

    Jim

    Thanks, folks, for the welcome. Japan is an awesome place for roadsters, in fact I'll be mountain biking and taking the car out on her maiden stroker-motor touge run this Saturday!
