At this point the car was moved to my parents house for storage. A year ago I made a move to the twin cities to start a new job.

A year later I started up again getting the car torn down even more and get things cleaned up and replaced.

Nice man. Great work so far. Where do you live in the Twin Cities?

That's where I grew up. Live in Duluth now, but make it down quite a bit. I may have my car down at MAP in a few weeks and will be home. Should talk cars. If you don't mind me asking, where are you working?

Nice man. My buddy Matt Gesch worked in the turbo department. Probably will see you soon, haha. I'm Andre BTW.

Continued to work on some more stuff on the car. Put the headlights back in trim pieces, Brake master.

Dropped the gas tank and fixed the mess of a send unit mount.

Looks like the housings were painted black. You can tell it's not '93 lights because the lenses have fluting. Still looks cool though. Nice progress on the car. Kind of scared to see my sending unit area now.

Those look like modified US headlights. Every "JDM" headlight I've had my hands on is all plastic and weighs 1/5 of what a US headlight does. All my 91/92 headlights are glass.

I've only sen two sets in person so maybe they were an older style? They were definitely all plastic and didn't' weigh much because I considered getting a set to shave 10 lbs off the nose of the car but I didn't want to deal with RHD beam pattern.
