In english it means: carpet and cloth door panels (instead of vinyl and a rubber mat) and slightly different glove box door...oh and a feww lil silly emblems that i have sold bunches of

Did Mikado come in 2WD trim? Or just 4WD like the LuvMachine?

according to the ad that i got for a 75 (thanks again steve ) the mikados had;
"full with seats upholstered in deluxe fabric, matching door inserts, carpeted floor and door kick panels, leather-like covered three spoke steering wheel and gearshift knob, automatic locking retractable seat belts, deluxe dome lamps with door operated switches, astray lamp, dual note horn, and Mikado nameplates on glovebox door and rear fenders"

*whistles* boy, sounds better than a lexus

Cool once again thanks for the help/info but I think I should call mine a Jimkado since I put honda seats in mine and re-did the door panels.

[/quote] Hell my bench seats are out of a ford escort [/quote]

Come on now....if you're gunna tell a story tell one we MIGHT believe
Bench seat out of an escort.......

WHAT, I am serious!! Not reall proud of it, but shit they fit, and with the seat covers they don't look half bad.

Damn, didnt realize I said bench.I meant buckets, Good catch blue!! DIARMADHIM just set me straight. MY BAD

Mine buckets are out of an 80-somethin' Subaru Loyale. They sit lower and further back than the stock ones, but still manage to be more. . .cushy. . .and the have raised sides so I don't slide out around turns.
