SICK ONE!!!!! It's gonna kill on the streets. Can't wait

 

Wow, going all out with that baby. It going to be badass. Suerte!

 

So went to the body shop to check up on car,turns out it will be ready within two weeks.here are some pics I snapped of the car.

 

All fenders,trunks,doors were removed from car to be blocked off then put back on and aligned.just needs the MAZDA decals put on and to be color sanded so we can start putting it together.

 

Very nice paint job! I still need to pick a color for mine.

 

Looking good Dave!! Saw the body work about a month ago, nice and straight!!

 

Sweet!!!!

 

Look great!!!!

 

A few more months at the paint shop, you werent kidding!.. But she is beautiful!!..

 

Looks good, cant wait to see engine on it,

 

Yeah I know.car was there for about 6 months but well worth it.

 

Good to see another old school cruiser in socal

 

looking nice ..

 

Got the car back from the body shop and ready for the fun part of putting it all back together.planning on taking the 13b Cosmo block apart and inspecting,porting,and rebuilding the block.i will post progress as I go.

 

Nice project! Where did you get the brake kit and what did it cost please if you don't mind?

 

Brake kit was bought from the racing store.i believe was around $900 or close to that.

 

That color works really well. Good choice. Can't wait for the final product.

 

Thanks for letting me know about your brake source. You have a great project there, nice work.

 

Very nice car

 

Haven't done much cause of busy schedule,but managed to press in the ball joints and install lower control arms and sway bar with all new bushings as well.ijust got the tie rods from getting all rebuilt and will be installing this Friday along with the big brake kit.
Only picture I took of some parts installed

 

Looking good Dave. Where did you get the ball joints and where did you get the tie rods rebuilt?

 

Ball joints we got through autozone auto parts.the tie rods were rebuilt by a shop in Compton,and all bushings were purchased from forum member Juan.pm me jay if you need the info on tie rods,I will try and find the address.they rebuild them for $25 a piece.

 

another awesome build!!!!! keep up the good work

 

really digging the new color.

 

I put on the brake set up but we ran in to a problem with the wheels we were going to use.front rims hits the coil overs,if I put a spacer they clear but stick out past the fender a good 1.5".the rear only have a 2" lip but we want something more agressive.so we decided that we are going to get a set of bbs rs wheels and refinish those instead.we are trying to get 16x8.5 rear or 16x9 rear,and fronts 16x7 with the right offset so it will clear everything good.

Here's a pic of how the break setup looks.
