Hello and welcome.
When you do get the 300 going, can you tear those fugly headlamp peaks off that Mitsuoka Viewt and run over them please? Or maybe just kill two birds with one stone and drive the 300 straight off the flatbed.

A lovely warm welcome....
I agree the headlights are awful and I don't get the trend at all, but the car looks great other than that! Remember seeing this for sale originally before it was turbo'd and it looked like a very clean shell. Any idea of the specs?

This is the one off the FB page. A propper home brew job.
It could be worth looking for a good complete R5 turbo engine
