I only paid $350. The car was $700 and a friend payed the other half but dropped out right after paying for it. He said i didnt owe him money.

nice, does it run?

 

too much

 

tailights worth more than the rest of the car!

 

want to sell me your radio surround

 

looks like a fair price...too bad the body is in such bad shape. if the motor is blown i'd say you shouldnt have bought it.

 

You over payed..

 

actually the motor has been running very well i drove it about 20miles today. Ran good. All it needed was a fuel pump when i bought it. I pretty much only paid $350 for the car. Im not complaining. Ill have pictures of the shift boot i made to i just got in from putting it in.

 

wheres the exhaust????looks like it needs plenty of tlc in & out...

 

I actually cringed at the pic of the dent

 

thats a pretty good deal man, just get a new top and fix those dents! too bad youre not around VA there were 2 verts at a junk yard i know of about a month ago with pretty good tops on em.

 

seriously thats a good deal. i would buy it.. even if you dont have big plans for it, clean it up be a cheap nice ride..

 

That is a good deal. It would be cheaper to but a widebody kit off ebay. (200 or so than to actually fix the dent.

I would cut the rust out, por15 in there, weld a plate in the sideskirt area, then skim it with bondo.

Even ebay tops are 450 or so.....so that fix will be a little expensive. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda...spagenameZWDVW

Just drive the car first for a while to uncover any hidden issues to make sure you are not over your head.

I know it runs and ****, but it would be a good idea to check compression to know where you stand.

Dont know what your plans but if you do go the body kit and widebody fix, order them at the same time so you can save a lot on shipping.

good luck and have fun with the fc3c.

come on guys its not that bad, its a s5, looks like everything but that 1/4 panel is in decent shape, the hood appears to be in good shape too.

the 1/4 panel will suck though, would rather have needed a door then a 1/4.

 

that is a good deal running or not. you could part it out for well over what you got it for.

 

I want to leave the body mostly stock.
Lower the car. New Brakes. Wheels
I want to drop in a TII engine.
Fix dents and holes what ever else needs to be fixed. New Paint
New top or create my own hard top but keep the targa top. (My dad has had experience in molding)
New seats. Steering Wheel. Different Short Shifter. Smooth out the dash. New Gauges

 

Oh right now there is no mufflers. It had them and my friend decided to cut them off

 

it has an s4 bumper with the s4 blinkers



didnt know if anyone else saw that.

excellent deal though. take care of her!

 

For $700, and really for you $350, the deal is great! I don't know why people are complaining. You could get that money back selling just the hood and tail lights!

But don't crush them, restore them

 

yeah I would part it out unless you really want to pour some $ into it. I love this car but this particular needs some heavy duty luuvin,

 

looks like ****, no offense

 

Check compression, change all the fluids and just fix it up one piece at a time.

 

+1

 

I was thinking that when I read some of the first posts
