My project is almost complete (56k no!)
Well, long story short, I had a 79 with a good engine and bad body, then got a 82 with a great body and bad engine. Swapped engines, and added a few goodies while it was out. Enjoy the pictures guys, none of this would be possible if it wasnt for the community 
Here is the car finally at the house. Washed a few days ago. One thing you cant see from these pictures is that i hae 3 tiny rust bubbles on the rear fender arch.
Rear View. Bad tinting job which I plan on removing, and no, I do not go to WCU :p
Here is the interior. I do not know if there is a panel that covers the wiring under the dash (is there?). The car had cruise which got removed, and currently has keyless entry. I still have to tidy up the wiring. The small switch near the trunk release is my fuel pump switch.
Gotta love the backseats and their uselessness/novelty
Current engine shot. Runs PIG RICH at the moment. Also having timing issues. But it is one hell of a screamer!
My brake coolers (not hooked up yet, need a front air dam) and 1 inch spacers. The car couls not take a turn without these as it hit the sway bar! Now it will only hit it when I make a turn while flying through the air not touching the ground. Needless to say, never.
My exhaust, minus the Borla Pro XS presilencer. The pipes are RB's 2.5 inch 4 footers. Thickest exhaust piping I have ever seen! And yes, those are my racing shoes. Haha.
Well, there you have it. The mods I have done are in my sig, plus a few I havent added yet (such as the 1" strut spacer, etc). I want to again thank the community for making this possible. I am a member of mazda3club as well, and there is a member there who takes donations to keep the forum running. If there is anyone of that sort for this forum who does that, I would be glad to help support it.
