What I can see without much garage digging is:
Pair of Clear side repeaters, two standard side repeaters (1 flat and 1 domed topped, think the difference is UK and Japanese), steering wheel, Dissy cap, rotor arm and leads ( used but good), standard reversing light,.
I know I used to have a stainless back box but it might have been dumped in my last garage move.

That's quiet a collection you have there! Well if you pile it all up I can either collect it from you or sling you some cash for postage? Thanks a lot! (Clear side repeaters sounds good)

I don't travel that way often but there is a kei car meet on the 27th of September when I will be going up that way. Up at the heritage motor museum.

I am growing more fond of the kei cars as I described more and more! I am tempted to get a collection of kei cars one for every event! Takumi- translated to artisan (if Google is correct)

Hehe this was the Takumi (Fujiwara) I was thinking of, might be some inspiration for you here:
I owned a Daihatsu Mira Classic Turbo for a while and loved it, it was a similar size, 659cc but with 4wd too!

Is not had a chance to fully watch this! I will load it on the wide screen on my tablet later and watch it! Looks epic! I question how do we 1) find the time to find these and watch them! And 2) have the time to create these! Cheers for the link tho!

So some bits came through the post. Fitted it straight away. Now all I need is the new spark plugs so I can fit my bleed valve and adjust the boost to around 1Bar

So I fitted my bleed valve ..and new hotter rated spark plugs! Running just under 1Bar boost. I could probably bring it up to about 1Bar. But that's tinkering time I shall do that later.

The Rust-aration .... may begin. I have finally removed the rear subframe to be greeted with the horrors I'd prayed not to see. - at this stage I shall be asking members for help and advice. A large amount of fabrication looks like it's needed.

My advice:
Clean all the rusty metal up with wire brush on drill or similar (filthy mucky job and make you wear all the h&s gear).
Repair one area at a time trying not to weaken the structure too much.
Cut the rust back to good sound metal, in the long run may look drastic but one large patch is far easier than lots of small ones on thin rusted metal.
Take plenty of close up pictures, its easy to forget how it looked originally after a few weeks away.

Oh and get the fuel tank off and storred well away from where you are welding, also make sure you check for fires on the other side of what you are cutting or welding, someone else to fire watch is ideal.

Got you Kevin Iv done some rustaration before. Petrol tank was next on my agenda. Then I will wire wheel it all off and then contemplate my life decisions.
