Approximately 8k miles have been drivensince completion of the work. This tii is offered with a clean Virginiatitle in the seller's name.Research showed that the Vin number on theengine block is only showing two "x" one on either side of the pad,which indicated the engine block was replaced with factory crate engine.The engine runs very strong.The car was originally finished in Amazon Green, and had beenrepainted in a brighter green prior to the the seller's acquisition asshown in the gallery. The body was subsequently refinished in itscurrent Reseda Green Metallic 075 PPG paint, “Resedagrun”, using baseand clear coats following replacement of panels including the nose andfenders. Several bubbles are along the lower front of the driverdoor.All the screws in the front damper have been changed withstainless screws (not shown in the photos).I also changed the radiatorwith a new larger aluminum radiator (shown in some of the photos).

Questions:
Non Tii nose, the one on the car has the snorkel hole.
Answer:
Good eye. Common question with 2002tii enthusiasts. I replaced the nose with a very clean one (almost new). There was rust in the back of the panel and some along the bottom lip. I was not concerned about keeping everything original, so it was more cost effective to swap the nose with this one. You can see photos of the restoration in the drop box link I provided.
