That's the Gundam Cafe in Odaiba, Tokyo - the only "full size" Gundam statue in existence. If you want to see if, better get your skates on - they're taking it down from March 5th.
(Yes, it is pretty awesome to see up close.)

How good is the body. Is it straight and rust free?

Are you just try to get the correct length or do you plan to use that top strut bar?
Are you going to strengthen the body around the top of the strut mounts-

The adjustment in the centre is there to pull a little tension on the strut towers.They don't require any strengthening,I've never had any cracking or seams pulling apart in previous rally cars.

I used a kit I bought from the UK,it was a pain to do and messy.Doing a big dash would be a challenge to get right.

I'm not sure what dashes are made of now but they certainly seem to last longer than older cars. Most 70 and 80's cars dashes would crack if left uncovered in our summer heat for only a couple of days
