The brake ducts look pretty bad, I'm not sure if I should make new ones or if mazda still has them. Or if I would be alright just leaving them off.I would like to keep it original as possible

Realized that the shifter rod that i modified from my 12a transmission was shorter than the turbo2 rod.I should have paid a little more attention to dream in rotary's video . So I modified the turbo2 rod, got it all together , and painted the transmission. Thanks for the video Austin! .

While putting the trans. Back together, a wire fell off of this sensor/switch? . Can someone please tell me what this is. Now time to figure out my transmission mount

This is the part that I was not looking forward to, going through a complete car wiring harness to get one plug for the ecu, and my left side engine harness. I can't think of a better way to spend a Friday night

I decided to go with a vmount intercooler set up. I picked up a used vmount kit for a fc. I'm going to modify it to fit the fb, and then make a new one, That way its not all cut up and welded. It actually looks pretty simple

Do you have one of these switches, I believe it is the neutral switch, if so how much do you want for it shipped to 19007

Found this in between the bins. This is the third dead mouse I found. I guess this gives new meaning to the term "rats nest"

And drivers side wheel well, a little worse than the passenger side, the thing I don't get is on the outside , there is no rust at the top, but on the inside there is. It's a good thing I have a nice big piece of sheet metal

Here is what it looks like with all of the rusted metal cut out. After talking this picture my phone battery was really low, so I couldn't take any more pictures. I got my patch cut out, I also etch primer ed it so I don't get any rust finger prints on it from touching it while shaping it and installing it, and I got all of my spot welds ground down and cleaned up. When I get into work, I will take some pictures of what I just mentioned. I'll have another update in a few hours

I forgot to mention that the patch that I previously made was way to thick and couldn't be shaped right with hand tools, I could have used it if I would have used multiple pieces to make it, but I just wanted to use one single piece. So I took a damaged hood that we had laying around the shop and cut the skin offand made my rough patch from that.here it is clamped in and slightly shaped

Here it is completely welded all except for the spot welds at the bottom which I will do with the spot welder. Tomorrow after work I will finish it and weld in the other plates

I also scraped out what was left of the non existing seam sealer and re sealed the wheel well with panel bond, when im all done with the outer patches and bodywork I will go over all of the seams with seam sealer
