I've got a build thread going on JNC, thought I'd share it over here too.

I will be brief. I bought this car in 2009, found it about 20km from home in a local classified ad. It wasn't until September of 2013 that I started working on the car. It will be a pro touring style of build. My ideas are ever changing so I won't be posting any of my plans for the car, just updates as they happen.

The day I picked it up

 

WOW, that's a great project...!

 

September 2013

 

There was some rust... this is a very small sample, there was heavy rusty everywhere.

 

November 2013

 

December was a write-off with travelling to PRI in Indianapolis, Christmas, and skiing in QC/NY, so not much was done.

I got a much better (albeit way older) camera that seems to deal with the poor lighting conditions, pictures should be better from now on.

January 2014 - The cutting is mostly done now.

 

Welcome, Dave. Nice to see that you aren't messing around. Will be watching your progress.

 

Keep up the good work Dave. I remember Joe telling me how your car was in as bad of condition as my R100. Glad you decided to build it up. I may have to borrow that dolly you built for my R100 someday.

 

Step 1: Identify rust.

Step 2: Cut 90% of car off.

Awesome.

 

If you intend to kill the cancer that's the way to do it! Lol

 

Interested to see where this one goes.

 

haha.

yeah.. mazdas.

 

How's the progress on this going? Interested to see an update.
