Well after figuring out my computer hates tinypic, I browsed around here and found out I can upload directly to the server. Yay.

Here's the car at a friend's backyard

Three more...

The 4A-C as I got it. Ewww... It took me a while to figure this out, but if you look behind the battery, theres a black box on the strut tower. Its made by the DANA Corp. I finally figured out that it was cruise control that was added on to the car. Has anyone seen this? Does anyone want it? :mrgreen:

The biggest and most important factors of this car, in which I desired, is:

- No chassis rust whatsoever

- Almost perfect body

Everything else has fallen apart, but who cares? I don't. All I wanted was a clean and solid foundation to start with and that's what I have.

cool. i love kouki coupes.

that dash is sporting the gobi desert look.

yeah, those cruise control units are a queer piece. b.lane is sporting a different looking one possibly by another manufacturer.
