now i can see! I don't think it's checker-plate. I reakon it's a standed mudflap with "fake checker-plate" (it like card bord with foil) around it. you can get this stuff from repco.
I saw one of these, right here in Pretoria, not the JDM type, but a 1000 none the less. I thought about jumping of the first story and running after it, but the beer was nice and cold, so I let it go.
Josh just pointed it out, but there are no reverse lenses, ... replaced by extra blinker lenses. Which would account for the external reversing light.
The engine is a 1200, but seemingly stamped as an A10. It looks like the engine was bought new. For extra money, you can have either a 60 series 5 speed or 56A 5 speed.
