Yeh,
The car is now in California but I will be moving it to Colorado next week. I will be moving there this summer, so I will park it up in my barn and hopefully start it next winter. I will be looking for some replacement panels, big wing arches and gusset kit so if anyone has any leads they would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've lived here for 23 years and never even heard of one being here. I have run adds in different mags looking for MK1 and 2s, but never had any luck. There must be some around but you never hear of them.
Only problem I have is getting parts, I guess I'll have to be creative, I hear the Australians and Kiwi's are pretty creative in using different parts. Anyone ever hear of using 1981-83 RX7 GLS back axle for a Mk1 they have a LSD 4:12 I believe, along with same wheel bolt pattern. Lets hear some idea's as I have know idea what the USA version of a baby Atlas is.
