can't wait to see the finished product ...

I can't wait either. I need some Racing Beat Springs and Tokico Shocks and Struts to complement this.

i have the money now for it lol

A little update here since I have been busy at work and shipping Ebay stuff. A few days off and I am getting closer to finish.

Removal of the pilot bearing. It takes a few seconds to do the job with the REAL MAZDA pilot bearing removal tool. Best thing I ever bought besides my Racing Beat flywheel stopper/nut removal tools.

Removed pilot bearing and seal. Damn, the freaking thing didn't have the needle bearing in it.

I am getting closer..........Next is Racing Beat Exhaust, plugging everything up, bleed the brakes......

man jerry. that car is lookin sweet. I'm getting more work done on the SA, now i'm going to save money up and get it painted and have the dents and stuff removed and any surface rust i can get off.

Good Work!!!! Looking nice!!

Yes! looking real good!

Great Pix! Thanks for posting them.

rotaryhaven, how did you get those nice neat little welds?

thats looking great!
i wish i had a gsl-se...unfortunately there arent a lot of them out here.

Great work, are you finish with it yet?

Car was eventually sold to a forum member here, fixed, got wrecked, sold again to another person and wrecked again. I guess the engine was too strong for them.

As far as the welds, it was done with a mig welder.

thats a shame about the car wrecked
