Guys, originality is an emotive subject. There are a few cars in the club that are 'quite' original, being membership sec I get to talk to some of the owners.
I have an 'almost' original car and a LHD conversion and modded car. They drive very differently and I think of them very differently. Nothing wrong with a non-original car however original ones are so rare it's a 'shame' IMO to lose that.
Franky your car will not be original even if kept LHD - Subaru Diff
Some cars on here (and even my old track car) are far from original. One day I started from the front and worked my way back noting changes/upgrades/replacements - it's an eye opener! How much of the car was on it when it came out of Japan probably 40%. And that was a matching numbers car.
