anyway, this looks like an interesting project, respect for putting in all the effort. I live in the UK and U currently own a 1996 JDM GT-B, but I previously owned a 1997 GT-B Limited, which I am currently breaking for parts. The remainder of it will be going to the scrap yard soon.
The differences between GT-B and limited are more than just the bumper and extra fogs, although of course as you've probably found with these JDM models what's standard is hard to pin down as there seems to be so much variation and many exceptions to the rules.
What my Limited has/had that my GT-B doesn'/didn't (I put it like that because I have swapped many of the Limited parts to the older GT-B now) are:
• Front bumper with extra fogs, 'limited' badge on lower grill.
• "Fog select" switch next to the front fog light switch (I have this if you want to buy it, no need for it now).
• dark, almost black 'wood effect' trim on stereo/AC surround, window switches.
• wood (walnut I think) gear stick nob and steering wheel (partial leather).
• slightly different seats and material.
• cup-holder in rear armrest.
that's all as far as I can remember.
If you're interested i any parts let me know ASAP. I'm going away for christmas to italy and then back through the alps for some snowboard action (yes, in the GT-B, ready with new set of nokians!) so wont' be back until the 15th Jan, but when I do get back I will be cleaning up the rest of the old LTD and getting it taken away, so if you do want anything I'd have to make sure I take it off for you before that. Bear in mind that a lot of it's already gone, and certain things like the bumper and extra fog lights I've transferred to the GT-B.
I do have the steering wheel available - it's got some surface mould from sitting for over a year but it will clean up nicely with a good clean and some disinfectant.
Also you might be interested in the 'fog select' switch which is extremely rear. I have no need for it as I am using an extra standard fog switch instead.
Do let me know if you want any of that, or if there's anything else you're after I can see if I have it still. I have lots of photos too so if you want to see anything specific let me know.
I'd be interested to keep an eye on this as it progresses, so if you could keep updates going in this thread that would be great as I'll get email notification - I won't be checking the rest of the forum.
merry christmas time!
