Wow, that's crazy. So there was one from '94 - '97 and then the one you have was '98 only!?

I am also impressed with the key work Vovan.

Like yourself I just had to have a functioning flashlight key:

Car looks great - I'm glad you posted the pictures as I suggested.

What printing method did you use? It looks very high quality.

I used an AnyCubic Photon Mono UV resin 3d printer.

It's cool what you do to that old car.

I should have bartered for a later and thicker rear anti-sway bar in exchange for the US spec headlights I sent to him!

In any case Vovan, please keep us updated on your progress. We do not often see full restorations like that which you are performing.

I do hope you will be able to source some original leather seats in good condition.
