Nissan Rasheen Restoration for a Customer in Okayama, Japan

More Than a Cosmetic Restoration
We just kicked off a new Nissan Rasheen restoration project for a customer from Okayama Prefecture, Japan.
The owner entrusted this special Rasheen to our workshop to ensure they can continue enjoying it for decades to come.
With the Nissan Rasheen now well past the 25-year mark, age-related wear isn't always visible at first glance. Even when the exterior looks clean, hidden rust and mechanical wear can lurk beneath the paint, inside the chassis, or deep within the drivetrain. That is why every authentic restoration at Rasheenkan begins with a thorough baseline inspection.
Our goal is never simply cosmetic.
We meticulously evaluate chassis integrity, hidden rust, past collision repairs, original paint health, and every critical mechanical system—from the engine and transmission to the running gear. From there, we map out exactly what needs to be repaired, restored, or replaced.
The scope of work typically includes:
* Complete teardown and baseline inspection
* Body repair and dedicated rust mitigation
* Full bare-metal prep and premium multi-stage repainting
* Engine, drivetrain, and cooling system overhaul
* Suspension refresh and brake system rebuild
* Interior refurbishment and bespoke customization
* Extensive real-world road testing and quality assurance
Because no two Rasheens age the same way, every build requires a tailored approach. We craft a bespoke restoration plan based strictly on the chassis’ current health and the owner’s vision.
Preserving the Owner’s Story
Every Rasheen carries its own history.
For us, restoration goes far beyond simply turning wrenches on an old car. It is about preserving the heritage of the car while engineering reliability for the next chapter.
We will be documenting and sharing every milestone of this Okayama build—from initial teardown and chassis metalwork to paint, mechanical overhaul, and final road testing.
