Other Cozy Coupe Type R
Added on Nov. 30 by CRXracer

The car bug bit my daughter early (really early). In true grassroots style, this ride (her first) began as a junked Fisher Price Cozy Coupe found by the side of the road. After an intense 1/2 day, no-expense spared, wheels-off restoration, it has been reborn as the Cozy Coupe Type R. Total project budget, oh, 5 bucks or so, not counting the 6-pack.

I'm not totally sold on your sticker placement, but that's one nice 1/2 day restoration.

The GRM sticker is supposed to be a windshield banner. Yeah, I was having a little trouble getting them to stick, they didn't like the paint.

I think it's cute, and thanks for running the sticker. If you need more, let me know. I know where they're kept.

My ex-wife insisted we buy new back then, so my daughter never got to experience the goodness of the Type-R. I think that's what I'll blame the girl's total lack of interest in motorsports upon…<g>
