my rx 4 coupe decision

to all readers,

i have recently bought a mazda rx 4 coupe. i live here in japan, and mine has the following:

12a twin dizzy auto
black paint
electric windows

now, it is a 1973 model. by now theyve all been modified, 13b turbos, 20b turbos even, big mags, diffs, cuts in the frame etc.

so ive decided, im going to restore it to original condition, keeping the 12a and auto. i know a rotary should be manual, but this will be a daily driver, and the intention is to keep the value high and by keeping it all original, the value will remain intact. its also only done 79.000km.

in order to be all original, i need an rx 4 steering wheel and front drivers brown seat.

you can see more photos at http://www.kagoshimaenglish.com/rx4.htm

Japan and the USA have different "driver sides".

I have a right side seat, fabric is cloth brown and needs to be reupholstered. I have a RX4 steering wheel from a 76.
