That computerised chick voice, telling you to put your seat belt on would drive me crazy.
Are they the wheels you are putting on it? I like 'em

Re: the Sapporo is alive! (after nearly going to the crusher!)
I've got it on some 14x7 enki 92s right now... just test-fitting those Konig rewinds (they are a 15x8, 0mm offset)...still looking for the finished product wheel....searching for the perfect set to complement that chicks voice!

Re: the Sapporo is alive! (after nearly going to the crusher!)
maiden voyage was a success! digital dash works!... I've tightened up some front end bits and pieces & replaced bushings, swapped out belts, and had the leaky radiator patched and flushed... tweaked on the carb a bit after re-installing it (must be removed to swap fuel pump!)
...and now I'm on to wheels. the offsets required to get wheels flush front and rear on this thing? retarded! it wants to run a 15x7 +10 in the front (and that almost sticks out too much) and a 15x8 -15 in the rear! wow. I'm thinking of running a three piece 15x7 +20 & flipping the barrels on the rears for a -20 out back!
(I've already bought a set of SSR formula mesh 15x7 +0/15x7.5 -8 that may not be aggressive enough, without spacers)
posting more pics soon... I swear!

Re: the Sapporo is alive! (after nearly going to the crusher!)
I love the paint, finally a use for that funny body line over the roof.
I think the "graffics" are probably markings in a paint pen from the wrecking yard? If so, thats pretty cool.

Re: the Sapporo is alive! (after nearly going to the crusher!)
Just out of curiosity, how was it working with one of them scissor lifts?
I'm thinking of getting one for the buildup of my scorpion and I don't have the head room for a real hoist, and the perseverance to dig a pit..

Re: the Sapporo is alive! (after nearly going to the crusher!)
Scissor lifts are great with all but the lowest of the low or those with side skirts. I had a lift that was a 4 poster with a scissor action in the centre, perfect.
