A- for effort. Would've been A+, but the horrendous color scheme of your furry door panels cost me 10 minutes of cleaning vomit out of my keyboard.

haha as much as I want to rag on ya for the velvet thing like everyone else has, i'm going to restrain myself. After all you're going to have enough of a time rewiring the whole car. But hey look at it this way, after you're done you'll know every inch of that fb.

Best of luck bro.

I'm not ragging on ya. I just don't like the colors, or velvet for that matter. The pic shows brown and purple, a color combination that nature abhors. To each his own, and much props for the effort.

Who cares about the extra weight? Personally, I find it silly when people obsess about ounces in a car that makes 130hp with $1800 of addons.

Those things are needed......Cmon why even bother driving a car if it dont BUMP! As for the velvet being RICEY cmon why stick with vinyl? I do plan on rewiring from Scratch, why use all of mazdas confusing wiring diagrams.....Simplify, Simplify, SImplify........Besides what do I need all those extra wires for emissions for....I live in redneck country quote from county courthouse worker....this is no joke.......
"We aint got any of those fancy emissions thingies 'round here"

Update

I removed a bunch of useless items off of the passenger side wheel well. IE Windshield washer liquid pump, Charcoal Canister, Mounts LOOKS GOOD ALREADY!
I removed the AC PUMP, COndensor, Radiator, AC didnt work anyway and I dont feel like paying all the money to upgrade it to the new FREON.
Began removing front clip wiring harness.

A FREE 13B engine.....Oh yeah, I heard about a guy who lives about 20 miles from me who has a 13B that doesnt run, and he will give it to me for free if I just come and pick it up. WORD! I hope I can rebuild this one, if not no lost cause, cuz its free anyway well ok $8 for gas to go get it. I will pick it up tommarrow, and post pics.......

NO SHOW all the way..I hate $200,000 show cars....I like to drive my creations....as for the bass, I always have had a fascination with bass. I guess this project isnt about showing off, or even about building a awesome ride. Its about me, my own two hands, and something to at least be proud of and say I accomplished something worthwhile.
Also as a side note kinda off subject but here it is anyway...
