It's getting there - slowly being assembled...should be interesting how it turns out after they cut down one of the three clear coats.

Not many things more satisfying than fresh paint

Mazda has stop making a few of the screws and seals (side mirror seals) - but over all I was able to order pretty much everything new from Mazda. Give yourself some time because some of the parts are coming from Japan.
