Owner's Spotlight: Michi-San Hakotora

**下に日本語があります＊＊
Out in the middle of Tochigi lies a special shop. In this shop, the original concept of the Hakotora was born by Michi-San. When Kyung (Thomas) Na of AE Threads (www.aethreads.tokyo/) clothing apparel came to Tokyo for a visit, he made sure we visited Michi-San's shop - 09 Racing. After the initial shaky introductions, we all became good friends spending hours on end talking about cars, and soaking in Michi-San's Hakotora artwork. Thus, this time on Tokyo Tuner, Join me as we take a closer look inside 09 Racing, and an up close look at the original Hakotora

さて今回の東京チューナーでは、最初のハコトラが誕生した場所、09レーシングのガレージを覗いてみましょう。チャンネル登録、評価、シェア、コメントもぜひお願いします、それではお楽しみください！

He couldnt afford expensive parts, so he built ones by himself. This man is a living legend.

Nothing but respect for this man, I really hope he gets more recognition for his work, great video as always.

Maybe he already did get the recognition. We don't know that because we're not from Japan.

[@can1bbl3]

I respect this man immensely. The work and love he's put into this is beyond what I could ever dream of. I hope I can get a good job and own something of this calibre when I graduate

[@SN1P3ALLSN1P3RS]

About a year ago, I saw the white Hakotora through pictures when it was at SEMA in 2015. This inspired me to buy my own Sunny. I went through an import agency and imported a 1984 Sunny Ute from Japan in April 2018. I have had so much fun with this truck, it is unbelievable. I visited 09Racing's website 4 or 5 months ago and was quoted a full Hakotora kit. Between wanting to completely restomod the truck with a never been done before interior, a powerful engine swap and basically rebuilding it from the ground up, there isn't a lot of money left over for the Hakotora kit. I would absolutely love to get the kit, but that will have to wait until another day, sadly. I have such big plans for this truck, and I cannot wait until it is done being built.

[@TokyoTuner]

That's whats up! Just take your time and get it done when you can ^^ Can't wait to hear / see more about your Sunny
