First of all, you biggest concearn for a project car is going to be cost of replacement parts. It's not going to be easy sourcing parts for a car that was never intended to be sold outside the borders of Japan. And they aren't going to be cheap.

Also, finding a decent shape project car might not be as easy as it sounds. Most likely, if you find one that is in need of repair, it's most likely to have been beaten on, which means the engine may need a good overhaul...again, refer to above statements.

Just keep researching the car and all it's in's and out's.
