Blog link: S12 Spotlight - Gustavo Sanchez

Gustavo Sanchez's story is only a few years old and despite being relatively new to the scene and still learning the nuances of the S12, his S12 has managed to garner attention not just from fellow S12 fans but from other Japanese Classic aficionados. Just a couple of months ago at JCCS in Long Beach, the staff of Japanese Nostalgic Car named Gustavo's S12 as their favourite 80′s car. It was a great surprise to Gustavo and the rest of us as such a prime example of an S12 was given the honours and recognized by such a knowledgeable audience.

Nothing compared to Pomona or Riverside in the Summer. When in SoCal best to stay with "Beach Cities."

Exhaust is a work in progress, when the muffler got welded we didnt take into account that it was unbolted and got it on crooked lol. Ill fix it soon enough
