Where did you get that temp sender unit to fit right on the diff? Or did you have to retap it? Unless its like a 3/8" NPT fitting thats already in there.

I like that rear bumper! looks good with the lines of the car...great project, everything done correct the first time. BTW, how did you prep the suspension for paint? I want to do simliar but dont have access to a blast cabinet.

Dj55b.... That fitting came with the gauge, same pipe thread.... I was surprised myself!

irishpilot.... I did a write-up on how I made the bumper using a mustang skirt and the stock mazda piece, I'm glad you liked it, MANY people didn't! LOL

Suspension components were all sand blasted, primered and painted. Some were retouched after assembly due to scratches. I say buy spares and work on them while you use your car...
Thats what I did. I had a spare car and sandblasted everything, for this build.

update...

Car has been running fine, hit 11 psi @4,000 rpm!!! But I won't run the car that high...

Braking system is working fine....

Smoked abit at idle but the turbo oil feed was alittle too big. Now it's 3an and no smoke.

I have to start putting the interior back together.

Rear undertray is completed and I made the plastic inner fenders for the rear aswell.

I'll post pictures soon

Jimmy - looking better than ever!

But damn, bro, no offense... do a google search for "basic photography tutorials"

your car needs a serious gallery of "the angles". Take it out in the sun and take some naughty pics! (of the car)
