Got some of the wiring finished. Damn I hate wiring. lol. Rebuilt my combo switch. Now they are fully functional except for the hazard switch. I guess Mazda decided to make a slight change in the design between 82 and 83. Just enough to make them non-interchangeable. I also got part of my HID kit installed. Requires some trimming to make room for the backside of the bulb. I got the brakes back together and bled as well. I even had time to paint the inner portion of my steering wheel and clean up the rest of it. Looks brand new. Pretty good day.

installed a holley bypass fuel pressure regulator to feed my webers, only to find out my return line is rusted to hell at the tank. so i dropped the tank and patched her up with some jb-weld.

fd injector job

I got my front mount all straightened out and now its time for injectors.

the third picture is my oil leak. some sort of sensor that was loose. Still waiting on the 850cc to get back from being rebuilt.
the fuel rail is built by turblown and is a tough looking piece

Finally finished the wiring. All lights are fully functional, both headlight motors are working, and the HIDs work on both high and low beams. Only issue now is why I have hyper blink on the right turn signal even though both bulbs are working.

ckykid02's opinion is the only one that matters. Do everything he says or you are an idiot. <3 you ckykid02.

BTW thatguy23, people from cali normally go to the west section, not the NW. Just so you know.

Got Abby to idle on her own. I also got to go for my first test drive...sort of. I got to drive her backwards about 10 feet and then back into the garage. lol. Clutch, reverse, and 1st all work. Shes still running rough. Seems like there is a random miss. None of my gauges are working so I don't want to run her too much until I can monitor her vitals.

Ordered an A pillar gauge pod, wideband kit, digital boost/vacuum gauge, timing light, diagnostic tach, and a good power mirror switch.

Decided I'm going to part it out... :-( Sad, I know, and I was very torn over even thinking about it. I'm going to miss her. Bigger and better things on the horizon.
