That being said, if one could afford and EvoII to begin with, the cost of import shouldn't be an issue.

I would be more concerned with what Alain said about the quality of work that was done in converting the car.

In all honesty, I would think that any kind of modification to such a rare and wonderful car will decrease it's value. Such a car should remain as it was from the factory. But then again, I am somewhat of a purist...and a bit of a hypocrite because I would like to convert my 16v back to the european specs *L*
