The bodywork has been fully stripped and repainted. No evidence of prior damage or accidents was found during the process. The interior was already in very good condition; however, the front seats and steering wheel were retrimmed to an exceptional standard using high-quality leather.
The mechanical restoration was extremely comprehensive. While the full list would span several pages, key work includes replacement of cylinders, pistons, piston rings, main and connecting rod bearings, secondary shaft bearings, oil pump, timing chains and gears, camshafts, valves and guides, along with valve seat machining—plus many additional components. A detailed list can be provided upon request.
The fuel injection system has been fully restored, and the complete exhaust system has been replaced with the European-specification version.
Regarding the chassis, the brake discs and pads (front and rear), front and rear shock absorbers, suspension joints, and tires have all been replaced. The air conditioning system has been overhauled and updated to modern standards.
All work is thoroughly documented with hundreds of photos.
