The car will be garaged, and if the weather gets really nasty we'd use the FJ anyway. Plus I plan to upgrade to a 993 Carrera 4 eventually, so it could be used in bad weather. It rarely rains here, so crappy brakes/wipers wouldn't be a huge issue. The commute is all <35mph. I am going to call one of the outfits in Canada tomorrow to find out about imports- I like the idea of a newer car with an older vin, but I seem to remember them being pretty different by '83? Anyhow, thanks again- and Jim- you don't owe me anything. Glad to help. I'll email your friend- is he located in Florida also?
Cheers,

Friend is a Pilot based out of Tuscon Arizona, and actually has one for sale as well. He knows a lot about them and is more than happy to let you pick his brain.
I sent you an e-mail.
