driver side fender(and parking light), the piece that is behind the grill that directs air into radatior(runs lengthwise along front of car), headlight bezels, and grill. Maybe more....I'll have to go and look at the car , but those are the major items.
Thanks!

I should have all but the fender, most of the sheet metal on the cars is rusty thats why it became a parts car but trim ,glass, grill ect. is good. I may be able to find sheet metal supplier for you that is a little closer to you. Just put a list together and send it to me for the nonsheetmetal parts you need.

The last grill I got was the wrong style. Turned out to be for a '75. This is why I am asking for a pic. How much for a grill including shipping to Abilene, TX 79603?

Great...I'll look foreward to it. FedEx is a good place to start to look for shipping prices. I shipped some stuff to a guy in Canada and the prices weren't bad at all.

Found a guy close to you with some parts has r-100 to cosmo stuff.He lives in Garland Texas His name is Jim Ritchey and can be reached at 972-926-5388. I would love to sell you my stuff but if you can get it from him and save some shipping or cash that would be better for you! If you still need anything I have I would be glad to supply it! your fellow rotor head ,Dan

Jim is a great guy, just has high prices since he's the only man in America that deals with the early rotarys. I am still interested in the grill. Do you still want to ship it here?

we never got the RX3 or rx4 wagons or the rotary pickup in Australia. I've only seen 2 rx4 wagons, both private imports or left by diplomats or something similar. You'll be very hard pressed finding the wagon specific parts here...
Although for other parts the Australian dollar is really bad, and so we must be tempting for people who want to buy more common parts; eg a 2nd hand 48ida weber on 13b manifold should be available for $700 AUD, or $350 US... significantly less than what I have seen them on US ebay for! A place here lists a polished, rebuilt 20b for $7,000 aud or approx $3500 US...

buzz -Do the Australians made any upgrades for the auto trannys? I thought I had seen a guy with a stall convertor (stally?) in his RX-4. The local RX-4 guy here said there was nothing mad in performance upgrades for the RX-4 auto trannys. Anyone else know?

where I am from most people go the cog box route, supra 5 speeds, corona 4speeds, 2nd gen 5sp etc. The only hi-po mazda auto box that comes to mind was in the Graeme Prior 1300 wagon (which I have a great pic of it launching wheels up and body torqued out of shape).
Those who run autos run the local "trimatic", or the powerglide, c4, etc.
I recall reading (somewhere...) about 4,500 and 5,500 stall converters but I don't know if they were specifically for the early mazda autos. Try Selectmaz, Dyson Rotary, Mazfix and Mazsport - all have a web presence of some desription.

If you want RX-4 parts, go direct to Mazda if you want new parts.
My engine builder here in NZ know a guy in Japan that bought an entire chrome set brand new from Mazda for his RX-4 wagon.
i don't think that i have seen an RX-4 wagon in NZ yet, know one is replicating them either, heaps of RX-3 wagon replicas.
We are building an RX-3 hatch, that should be different.
