In Japanese but might be of interest to some for the a/c mounting.

Interesting that he drove the compressor off the intake cam. I considered that on my car but being belt driven, what happens to the belt when the compressor turns on was a concern. I guess the chain takes care of that but I think I would prefer to drive it off the crank instead.
he A/C kits at the time were driven off the crank and the battery was moved. Now that batteries are so much smaller and lighter, there are more options for relocating it. I like JB's ducting in the front trunk better also.
Is that an oil cooler or a condenser hanging from the back (my Japanese is a bit rusty)? I'm not a fan of that either but then if it's an oil cooler, it probably works better than mine!
No gas struts?!!
Having said all that, it is a very pretty car. It's a very clean build. It is very nicely done! A really beautiful car!

That could be the best paintwork I've seen on a Europa. I think BDA is right it would be better driven off the crank, but kudos for the design!

Beautiful car. They seemed fascinated with the different lights as they kept zooming in on them....

Where was the battery? I was interested in his roll bar but they didn’t seem to talk about that. Anyone have any information about the roll bar?
