I have gotten collector's plates on 2 cars... and am about to do my 1994 MR2 Turbo much like you... I did it on a 1974 Ford Capri and they weren't too picky, it's pretty mint condition but there were a couple niggles and they didn't notice/care... I think they won't have many photos to compare with for that car since there are so few around.

I did my 1968 Mustang and got rejected multiple times for the smallest things, they know every part of a common classic car like that... and even now I only got it because I switched to modified collector's class once they moved the year up to 1974.

The era-specific mods are laid out on the ICBC website pretty clearly. Click here: http://www.icbc.com/vehicle-registra...tus.pdf#page=4

Also, don't fuck around... if you get in a crash and they find an aftermarket radio in your glovebox... no insurance... someone walking on the street passes by your car and you've let things go or have modifications, especially if that person works at ICBC, and they report your license plate? Letter in the mail for re-application... this type of thing.
