Can’t believe he grenaded an engine running from a carjacking. Insane.

Talk about a lifelong restoration. Saw this car on the Okahandja airstrip, Namibia in 2017 or 2018 iirc. That first front on frame after the 18 month restoration is the meanest!

A 2JZ swap crossed Michael’s mind, but wanting to retain the car’s independent rear suspension he passed on that option

I don’t get it.

I’d also be curious to know how many stock blocks he’s gone through haha
