Starting in 2016, the vehicle was disassembled down to the bare chassis for cleaning. Aside from a rock chip repair, the lightweight single-stage paint was retained on the body, front fenders, trunk, and rear bumper. Over the course of six years, parts were meticulously acquired from all over the world to build an era-correct tribute to the famous Mine's N1 demo car. Based on research completed on a trip to Mine's headquarters in Japan in 2016, dozens of out-of-production Mine's parts were accumulated and assembled onto the vehicle as a part of its rebuilding. This includes but is not limited to a complete era-correct Mine's Stage II Complete Engine and drivetrain, complete Mine's carbon fiber aero package, extremely rare Mine's BBS magnesium wheels, limited-production titanium strut tower bar, and a host of other incredibly rare and specific parts. The depth and complexity of this build cannot be overstated - Mine's founder Michizo Niikura himself was shocked to see the details of the tribute build when he and master engine builder Toshikazu Nakayama inspected the completed car in 2022. The Mine's associates even inquired at the time to see if spares of the rarest parts - namely the Mine's BBS magnesium wheels - could be acquired from the seller.
