  • Hikki Hut has loved JDM cars his entire life. A few years ago, he was able to purchase his dream car, a Mazda Cosmo. After buying his dream car, he built his dream home: a shop with living quarters above it. The shop transports you back to a 1970s-era garage, filled with all kinds of priceless decor and memorabilia.

    Sweet Jesus....
    Both the whole house, garage and of course the man behind it all,
    Hikki Hut, has built the most impressive temple to JDM cars and
    culture, that I think I've ever seen.
    It must be unreal to just walk around it all in person, and it probably feels like
    you could go around it for a month, and still not see all the amazing little details.
    How he has the time to even concentrate on one thing, like the decoration,
    or gathering all of the exquisitely rare JDM signage, or the car parts, and then
    to restore the cars with such attention to detail.
    How the hell does he do it!!! 😅

    The Isuzu Bellett is actually why I watched this video. My father and I had an Isuzu Bellett 4 door rally car we used to compete with… I learned to drive, and compete in that car. It had a fairly hot SOHC GT engine with twin SU carbs. Front disc brake conversion.
    Also had a Bellett GT 2-door project car that was never finished. Brings back sweet sweet memories.
