Yep, same freaking car.... This picture was taken last year.

Same as it looked 25 years ago or something with me on the passenger seat...

Kinja'd!!!

And didn’t mess around... it has gotten a full re-upholstering and a full stripped-out repaint... How much did he spend for the A110 to look exactly the same as before?? No idea.... Not sure I want to know lol... But now it has a new interior and a new paint!

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

He’s never seen my RX-7 in person... if he’d see it, he’d think it’s beyond restorable haha

Did it look worse in person, than it did in the before pics? Because yeah, it looks exactly the same in the pics.

Cool car though!

Meh... not really... paint wasn’t faded at all, but it’s a plastic body so it cracked on a couple places... nothing bad though. It’s its second full repaint in 45 years... My father thinks it needs it every 20 years or so due to how the paint ends up cracking with the flexing plastic body . I think he’s the one on crack, but whatever...

Alrighty then. That seems like a waste of money, but it's not my money, so whatever works for him.

It’s a 1600SC, so the same engine as the 1600S with the rear suspensions of the A310
