To be honest, I wish I took more photos of the car in this form before we tore it apart. I guess when you are in the moment you don’t really think of these things. As the car was slowly being torn apart, a little voice from the future came back to remind me that the 86 was never going to look like this again. As fucked as it looked, the car was already cemented into peoples minds like this and long after its restoration, this version will be the car people remember. It was still running and driving, just missing the dash and seats and cage and well everything from the interior. I quickly placed everything inside and brought it out for its final photo shoot.
Its funny how everything is traveling in circles. The American car scene is trying to source every last JDM part they can including front end conversions to gear knobs. They seem to have created something which was based on the whole JDM scene and now the Japanese have decided to start copying the US. Its amazing that both of these countries are both doing the same thing more or less. The Japanese are starting to rust bonnets, buy diamond steelies and go for the whole roof rack theme. Its cool either way as more and more cool cars are coming out of both countries. Check this USDM jam that went down in Japan from stanceworks. Check the website for more snaps also.
