It is in a way, Both, restore and modify...looking at the condition of the car, i think restoration can be done on the interior part, but modification under the hood is a must...tq for your reply

For Engine Mods you can try Turbo Lim, IT will take time with him but good work. Let me know if interested I'll PM his details..For Interior, if it's just swapping parts out from old to new..you can try Albert of WP auto Pandan Mewah. IF you want to 'rebuilt' interior like re-upholstering etc there's a few good options. Try looking into bmwclubmalaysia.com

I would love to see a mix bred, 1JZ and Bimmer.

Japanese engines are reliable though.
1JZ can take up beatings. Sounds better too.
Just speaking from YouTube videos experience. Hahahaha.
