Haruguchi RX7 Why & How it was Saved

From a field in Japan where it would rot to it's death but no, we saved this legendary car and shipped it to Australia to be restored, shared with the world and it's legacy to go on forever.
Thanks to Shirts Tucked In for the photos (watermarked).

Crazy how many times this car lost its front and back bumper and still being in nice condition without breaking any brackets for the bumper or anything

[@bobbywoemack3334]

It's always heartwarming watching a steelheart being brought back. A girl will love you then leave you. A steelheart will love you and wait in a field for 15 years waiting for you to come back.

[@mrshaggy442]

Very nice, I hope mitsuru gets another chance to take a look at his vehicle which has been brought back to life, which would most likely bring him a great joy knowing a legend has been restored!
