I guess I have to figure this out. (Also Sunchaser update with cool cars being restored)

The instructions just say “put it on and don’t fuck it up.” Fucking Italians with their figure-it-out-as-we-go shit. This is what got you Berlisconi. (Italian-American speaking here)

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

What the hell kind of instructions are these?Typical Italians, they make you forget that shit by giving you something so beautiful that you don’t care if it catches on fire.

Kinja'd!!!

Why does the silencer come in a cloth bag? I am not going to take it off and carry it around. Some Italian just thought it would be nice. There is a second bag, presumably for the rest of the parts.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Damn, that is a nice pipe.

Kinja'd!!!

Cool shit and badges. Forget what I said before, I love you, Italy. Never change (and keep that fire extinguisher handy, ok?)

THE SUNCHASER HAS BEEN PROMISED IN 1 WEEK!!!!

Do you think it will really happen? Odds?

He is going to sand the rust off these rotors.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

New radiator and fan clutch. Also new thermostat, Zoidberg.

Kinja'd!!!

New polyurethane bushings

Kinja'd!!!

Mmmmm....bushings.

Kinja'd!!!

Painted wheel well and suspension.

Kinja'd!!!

There is a bushing we can’t find that fits here, so we may have to go with an aftermarket bar.

Kinja'd!!!

My baby

The best part is that it is costing less than expected, with the whole project coming in at less than $10k.

Nikon is happy to help with the Vespa as soon as he is done with the Sunchaser. Stay tuned.

I have the urge to order something from that company just to see the packaging.

I think that 280Z was a special edition done by a third-party! I’ve seen pictures of one on Speedhunters during one of the major California JDM-classics event (I think it’s the one you plan on taking the Sunchaser to after it’s restored). In fact, I think the one you saw might have been this one that was for sale!

Step 6 is beautiful: “Start ‘er up and wait a minute. If nothing explodes, you did it right.”

Can I have that bag of you’re not using it?

The Sunchaser will be ready in time for summer cruising. I’m sure of it.
