Two cars before this gold R32 Smokey spent 8 months building a white R32, code named “Yuki Chan”. This was a ground up restoration and included many special parts, including his personal D1 engine. Yuki Chan was a special build for Smokey because he was building one of his favorite chassis and was doing it for a close friend of his. When Smokey found Yuki Chan she was sitting inside, where she had been for over 20 years without a heartbeat. Smokey purchased her off of her original owner who had driver her only 34k original kilometers. While the gold R32 definitely has a better paint job on it, Yuki Chan is 100 % honest and shows the same scratches she did nearly 30 years ago when she was born. Soon after Smokey brought Yuki Chan back to life he began another project, VR32. This radical and one-off build quickly overshadowed Yuki Chan and she was all but forgotten to most, but not to me. You see, I am the proud owner of Yuki Chan and I can tell you, if you want to see a true testament to Smokey’s craft, please check her out.
