Having the time, money and resources to do this level of work must be a dream job.

Gimme a break .. a "DOyoda?"

We'll wait a few more years and we'll send Mark's Nissan for a resto at that place and sell it for a few hundred of thousand Euros eh?

The amount of work that went into that car is amazing. The last pic looks like it was a restoration for a museum?

Was the original car on fire? Looks terrible.

In the hands of a Rally driver anything is possible :roll:

Do you think I could pay those guys in six-packs? I could really use their help building my car.

Oh my god - I hope that car has significant racing history to justify the cost of that restoration! Looks like museum-bound.

Speaking of significant cost - pay attention to the cars in the backgrounds of some of the pics - many old Rally cars, several Ferraris, a Toyota 2000GT, Mercedes 190, XKE Jag,....
