Always wanted an FD...could never justify paying for one. A deal came by that I couldn't resist...so now I have one! This will be a fairly long term project, will post pics here as things progress.
Car has been sitting since '05, have not looked inside the gas tank yet... Pics are before any cleaning.

Looking forward to seeing you at an autox
|
That's gonna be a lot of work, but I know you can do it right!
FYI, it looks like the front relay box has been hanging upside down while it's been sitting. I can about guarantee you all the relays are rusted out inside, put that on the to-do list :). Some of them are available from other Mazdas at the junkyard. I got plenty of parts for ya, let me know what all you'll need! Dale |
I must say, this project looks vaguely familiar.....

nice FC in the background!
you def have your work cut out for you. but like dale said, if you do it right and take your time to do it right, everything will work out just fine. btw, the coilover is prolly just hitting because it's hanging but i'm no FD suspension expert either! lol |

I can see daylight through the same gap on the LF setup. I looked at the bushings and nothing seems worn enough to cause this left/right difference. I will also load the lower control arm and see how much the clearance changes with decreasing the droop... I suppose as long as there's no contact while driving then it isn't an issue. |
Get beer. Lots and lots of beer.
|
I wonder if the gas tank could be cleaned/treated? Good used gas tanks aren't super cheap unfortunately.

Spot of work to do there, looks fun :).
|
Hey looks like fun. I have an intake, possible downpipe, and a few other goodies also if u need anything. Already looks like the car is in good hands.
Oh and also...super clean and a pressure washer does wonders. :) |
Is the white car an FB???
|
Wow. So much work. What is that creature in the brakes? Lizard? Frog?
|
Well it was a lizard... I tried to pull it out but the tail fell off :|
