+1 on the colour! Super clean car. That interior is phenomenal!

Wow - it looks really nice. I agree that the interior is a great color. Mine has the red interior which tends to fade to brown over time. The previous owner had the door panels dyed to correct that, but there are some bits, like the gear shift boot that have faded to brown. If you want to upgrade the wheels, consider the Rotas RB. http://www.rotawheels.com/

So this morning i went to my friends shop to drop the car and have the cat section shortened in order to connect it to the headers and he told me he wanted to show me something:

1973 rx4, car wont start and the owner got it for free!!! i am going to talk to the owner and see if he wants to sell it ...

Free RX4?! :shock:

Lucky!!! Sometimes it's nice to live in an area of the country where these cars aren't well respected.

Did you work something out to get it from the current owner?? Will he part ways with it?
That is a really good looking RX4. :tu:
