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

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.

if the EFI system fits it should make it easier to fit a turbo,
should it not??

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.
