Nice MRS. I had one a couple of years ago but just standard. Tell me about the Ricoh one? Mine was a great car but totally lacking in decent grunt - hence the move up to the S.
And yeah.. That looks like a lot of work on your hands with that S.. A whole new side from the looks of it, and a new bonnet.. and thats before you repair any of the real stuff underneith. Rear wheel does look wonky..
If you got it very cheap and have the money then good excuse to turn it into something quite meaty but agree with what the others have said - Personally i wouldnt have the guts to buy something like that from a photograph.

Unless it is the angle then you are looking at upper and rear wishbones for the rear end, control arm, drop link etc, possibly drive shaft, suspension.
That's

Not being funny but that S looks 
ed. I hope someone has properly assessed it for you in Japan - I certainly wouldnt buy it blind.
Have you tried for insurance yet?
Look forward to hearing further news, fair play if you can do it at 19, good luck.

You need BenR for this job.
How bright is the dash?
Has Rahula exported his?
This wasn`t parked outside a station by Dreamer was it? Bluetooth headset anyone?
How about attacked by peacocks because it was so shiny?
Have you consider a a Seat oilburner? They're dead quick.
I'd get a set of F1s, that'll balance that out.
It looks like Simmo has nailed a few victims up the side of it.
I'm off for some more mint sauce, make sure you all get your fleeces sheared.
