  1. I’ve just started building USS Voyager. It’s not 1/24th scale but I’ll punish you all with my terrible slow progress anyway. You’ve been warned!
  2. The most important first upgrade for one of these is a couple of lumps of 4x2 under the end of the bench seat on the drivers side to off set the years of sag. Also… ROAD PACER! Just saying. This would solve all of your 202 problems.
  3. Potential interest in a Hanmeets. Would be bringing my work car though as (free gas) it was a long slow drive to chch in the little red Mazda and would be a nedzillion dollars to bring the 7. I would get to visit all of the gas stations though in the 7…
  4. Worst case: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254669151700?itmmeta=01HRDHFGCVMNNY4YDYQD6T76ND&hash=item3b4b76ddd4:g:Ij0AAOSwV4Bffq7N&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwEc71LV05yxoGQ1oUNh4OLw41EcDSIa6Wy%2Br3FziQL6V0HzEjaWDtTDl%2BD9n7DKL%2F5QkUBVVa6gJAHpPJ09ELZsJjF7QVvmYm%2B8dS4pzt3Q5wXq%2Br9Yvcgek9Q%2FmdtujcUD4J82qMRDRmp0g0MEcX4WVQjKojsuStF4AB7pKBf5Y5sP478lA8E%2F09PZWrQnt90WAIRxjDs8W8xBCcCdNxAoO5ROtJFIoMf3v69SGwWNJ7%2F3sL9TwjeFgC8RMcajpug%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8KGvrHDYw Repro bonnet? Love the full send approach!
  5. A heap of those Bren gun carriers ended up as farm hacks down my ways. #sharn Here is part of my current pile of shame. I might dig out that LRDG truck and have a look…
  6. Our Hilux had factory Recaro’s with the rear seats matching. Was super lush!
  7. If you go for a hoon to Hyper Drive they will (probably) have all your roof racking needs. Our surf was the shape before but (apparently) the viscous fans on these is a weak point. More Barry surf’s might know more. A nice set of Reccaros buckies will look good up front.
  8. Pull them all the way out. Spray belt with 808 silicon spray. Repeat till win.
  9. So excited about about the levelling up! *grabs popcorn*
  10. I think we need to organise a FC meet. Kinda like Wag Nats but with tow trucks
  11. You could try Riggs vintage Mazda for some headlight motors? Also, I was warned off Gillies for big turbo motors? Any thoughts there? Just stoked to see a FC project on the go. Will happily follow along for the ride!
  12. I have BC Golds in mine. A+ would trade again etc.
  13. Sweet whip! Are you going to keep it as a street legal track car? I looked at Tein adjusties for my FC but they were nearly $10k!
  14. Good luck with the compliance thing. How many of these things are even road legal world wide? My vote is paint the bits that need to be proven rust free/post compliance. Leave the rest as is = story. It would be a massive massive shame if this needed to be stripped back for compliance and all that history got lost. DISCLAIMER: Have had one or two before posting…
  15. Giz the chrome Modgies for my B1600!
  16. Wow, that picture of the wiring improvement is super satisfying. Picture of the new negative battery wire placement to ease my OCD please….
  17. I guess you have to take into account when the car was built? What was cool and acceptable back then is different to what we expect now? im sure people will look at my FC in 20 years time and go “what was he thinking?” I’m just stoked you are working through everything to make it cool and safe again. I love 4 coupes! (Technically I love all old Mazdas so I’m easily pleased…)
  18. Don’t forget the part where you had to fix the main battery earth wire as it was just connected to the boot release!
  19. Sorry team, I’m out. 7 still not going to be ready. Have fun and nab some pictures.
  20. This is so rad. Must be a tiny weeeny world wide owners club!
  21. How many gas stations are on those routes? The 7 can pass anything but a gas station! I’m a maybe depending on when the rx7 gets it’s cert. Too far and cold for any other Mazdas to make the trip. Another option is @TimShadboltfan27 we take my work wagon and it’s free gas.
  22. Glad to see you are going through it with a fine tooth comb. I thought this looked like good buying and I’m glad it’s gone to a good home that will sort it from being a good looking car to a great car. New wheels made a huge difference. As always will be following along for the ride. P.S. That battery cable was next level lazy building
  23. Nice! Sounds like a fun project and I’m looking forward to following along. @dabuzz modified his stock airclearner to fit over his IDA set up so it looked stock. Maybe look through his build thread.
