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.
