Be worth checking if it is just light frontal repair, and no dodgy repairs underneath! Does sound like a deal though.

Check it has all its papers if not reg'd over here. It'll need a jap de-reg doc & importers declaration to regsiter it.

Charlie I think it would be OK. I know of an R33 GTS for £2500 that has a GTR front ( copy I thnk) so that would make a very cheap GTR

Think you'll need a new rad hanger bar too (repairable with some cutting/fabbing ,I'm told). I only mention it becuse they are 'laterally flimsy' & looks to be a little out of shape, also ours was bent from a similar impact a couple years ago.
Looks like it could be a good buy tho
