Attempted to get some replacement body sections to replace rusted areas - NLA.

Have thought about unpicking sections and attempting new bits myself,
Have thought about unpicking floor pan completely and repairing

Another idea was to source a CR22S front cut,
Anddd also thinking of importing a complete car

Chances are that whatever you get from Japan will have rust in it. To be honest I'm yet to see any pre-88 Suzuki kei import that doesn't look like it was shipped in a container of salt! :lol:

Me? I'd just cut out what you can, fish oil and repair so it looks good enough to get out and have some fun with it. ;)

Which one would be better for re-sale (eventually)

Reconditioned Stock F5B
or
Unopened import F6A w/ Timing Belt + Water Pump done

I think a car with matching numbers would be worth more. Throw in the F6A with the sale to sweeten the deal.

No numbers recorded to 'match' per-say Brayden,

Benny, plan was always to end up with only 1 registered,
Will have to swap a windscreen over to do it

It is a while away now, but the driving F5B is in need of repair, so I'm prepping a F6A for temporary install at the moment - then I'll have 2 F5B's waiting for recon

Alto wise, yes they look the same - but beware CN21S is also a Cervo Mode number

Yeah have struck that before, what research I have done the alto cn21s windscreen is the same as the cr22s, don't need one just yet, just want to know I can get one if it cracks when removing for paint down the track

I found a easy way to reference all parts across several models

http://partsfan.com/suzuki/us/jp/

use google translate alongside the japanese page (only the original will show the illustration)

have fun I did
