This is one of the coolest "classic" cars out there.
Saw one on my commute to Uni almost every day in the late 80s, obviously being used as a daily driver.
Excellent choice. The Classic Throttle Shop in Sydney had / has one for sale (but $$$).
How about using one of these as an engine / gearbox donor?

That'll surprise the backwards baseball cap brigade in the WRXs.
