Unfortunately it is not able to be imported into Canada until July 09-but I am really considering purchasing this and holding in my yard in Japan umtil then-I have checked it over and is beautiful-automatic-will get interior pictures next week- I am in Japan again only for another week. Please send me a pm with what you think it is worth landed in Vancouver.
Thanks,

Oh my god.
I'd be concerned with the following :
Upper A-arm rides on the bump stop bracket without the bump stop = Zero down travel. Ouch.
Harsh angles on the tierod ends, balljoints and CV's. That thing must eat them for breakfast.
If those tires are not DOT, it would be a serious waste of cash.
With that said, it's a nice looking one but functionality goes out the door for looks.
Cosmetically, it's a really nice job whoever did it.
Someone who wants the bling and drives around town will definitely pay bucks for it, that's for sure.

That's what I thought-can be had for about 12,500 landed in Vancouver.

And for that 12,5 will that include the servicing that a 15-yr-old vehicle will probably need or will that be the price due to it's 'shiny-factor'?

Too much bling for this fella. I noticed it's listed as a Space Gear. Is that correct? Isn't the Space Gear part of the L400 series?

The listing is wrong. It's a Star Wagon.
