Hmmm... As it turns out life has decided to throw me a curveball. Due to some excessive difficulties with potential employers, I am in fact NOT relocating to Chiba as I imagined. Rather the girlfriend and I (now fiancé!) will be relocating to the USA after doing a bit of travelling. The good news is that the beat is getting a passport and will be coming along The bad news is that I will have next to zero time for car projects until late summer at the earliest. Moving internationally, while planning to get married, all while being unemployed drains both time and money :/ it'll all be for the best though
