Japanese matiz front cuts are cheap, or at least cheapish at about $800
so if your auction doesn't turn out thats always another option.

Serious? Where can these front cuts be purchased?

BTW, I think they might be Korean and not Japanese. ;) The Matiz is Korean, and an F8B wouldn't comply with Japanese Kei rules. 8)

But still very interested in where you can buy these front cuts! :D

There are 2 or 3 every week in Perth auctions. Be interested to see how you go as the thought has crossed my mind.

Is it a whole car, damaged car, or front cut up for auction? I wouldn't mind a matiz to do up properly.

Colin if you want to part with the shekels I may be able to pick up a wreck here and send the front cut to you and flog the rest off.
