NIck,

I still have the Coupe. I was going to sell it, but when I took it home from my indie after not driving it for a week I decided "no way".
You can't sell a coupe. It is too much fun to drive & too rare.

If I have to put 3 or 4,000 into it to bring it back to good shape it will all be worth it.

AND I have a matching set of the black "seat covers".

Thanks.

It is back at Villi ( tech) for a few repairs...

It is a pleasure to drive....& feels quicker than the '81 SD.

I wish I knew the max speaker sizes for the front & rear decks though......

Eventually, I will repaint mine in a darker color, probably the dark factory blue ( I can't recall the color name, but it's code 904) that Carrameow finally wound up with on his 300D. I happen to like Anthracite Grey, but I won't shoot anything but solid colors. I kind of like the Signalrot, but we have that already on the wife's 300D and that would be too much of a good thing.

Golden Brown is just a weird brown. Sometimes I hate it -sometimes I halfway like it. It kind of reminds me of the color the Soviets used to use on their armor and vehicles. The PPO repainted the top, fenders and 2 doors, but left the original paint on the hood, trunk and 2 doors (?) I can't figure out why for sure, but I think the old paint may have cracked- certainly no rust or collision damage here. Problem is, the new stuff was done in base/clear and the old stuff is just plain enamel and except when the car is freshly waxed, it shows.

I squeezed some 4X6's into my front speaker holes. Not sure how large you can go in the rear though. I have some round 6" back there I believe.

Yes, that's what is left of the original paint! Seat covers were there when I scored it.

I understand 4" up front and 5.25" out back fit pretty easy.



No way this one is not getting parted!

Really cute dog. I must say also, that I feel you've made a very sound decision, in keeping the CD. I love the coupes, and swear by them. They're sorta magnetic, almost. I don't have anything with more than two doors on it, with the exception of my 83 Old Custom Cruiser, diesel station wagon, and my newly purchased, 2007 Ford F-550 Crew Cab, 4X4 Dually Six Speed Diesel Pick-Up Truck....Whewww, Say that ten times fast...Aside from those two monsters though, they're all coupes.
