So my NEW parts are a replacement for yours I guess, scr8p....

What's new is the few washers included. That's probably worth more than an old header card. That pack alone would easily fetch 100 bucks.
I've already sent you my PayPal ID!

Money sent as a gift and I'll cover the 45$ shipping fee + 145$ import taxes to Europe. I never thought I could find these at such a bargain price!

So how exactly is the front sway bar mounted? Never seen that before...
The front sway bar is nothing really special: it uses the grooves in the front arm mounts and then the outer shock holes on the a-arms as a mounting point. No mod needed but you can't use the outer holes any longer.
Just using a ball stud in the hole then? I guess it's got to be over-sized right? (I don't think a 4-40 will thread in)

There a nut behind to secure it in the arm hole.

Yup, just cleaned the body and added 2 preload clips on the rear shocks. I will add the two missing front shock cups and call it a day. Cleaning of the rusty parts could be considered at a later stage to better preserve the car.

Nice, that's obviously the same car? It was probably lend by Masami/Masaaki to a racer in Japan and exposed during a race (Yatabe arena?) or a vintage meeting. The cat with the CAT with the green shell was sold a bit before the RC10 GX I bought.

Holy Moly...
That is a seriously nice car. It truly amazes me what fine details went into Masami's cars. You are quite fortunate to now own one of them yourself. Good for you, man.
