Didn't they masked everything off in the video on the link in your first post?
Anyway, what's done is done, Zeds need regular front end resprays, so now seems like a good opportunity. Live and learn mate.
Bit of nothing question isn't it?
If you're after stance and low and all that, air ride is the sensible choice. If you're after flat out performance, you'd go directly to coilovers
You might get lucky and find a JDM Eunos that's been sealed up and rust free. I think they come with some other advantage too, LSD or different suspension set up, too.
Have you tried putting the SIM in another phone to see if you can get the owner's number?
If you have. Just go for it. Hold power and volume down to get it into recovery mode and then plug it into iTunes and hope you can restore.
Don't we already have one of these or have I missed a subtle difference?

Search the forum for "banana bar" its a common culprit and tricky to diagnose, even with it on a ramp. Knocking on rough surfaces at slow speeds is a giveaway.
Dan would also say that the rate of fails has become a bit of an internet hobby horse, somewhat overstating the actual rate of fail.
There's a really well informed piece by a specialist on this very subject out on the web, let me have a search.
Edit - I think this is the one http://www.porscheinspections.com/qanda.php or this one http://www.porscheinspections.com/content/downloads/M96_M97_GTPorsche.pdf
PS - Where is Dan? Is he ok? Not slipped getting out the bath?
I'm fairly confident Dan's first words will be about getting an inspection, but other than that it'll be positive, especially as it's a manual, apparently without PASM. It's on 19s not 18s though, so he'll have something to hold back on
