Yes and yes! - always wondered if this got finished - looks awesome, cant believe it sat there that long so close to completion

So sweet, good to see my car listed correctly as well - RE capella coupe Jan 72 $3914 At $200 dearer than the sedan, its a fair point there is less of them around

Not my old one, Scotty (RX4TZN) started building that for a 1300 2 door but sold it all up, You should do it though, major wank factor for the flat peaks, and the girlies are more likely to show you a boob or two. power delivery is real nice too. I was interested to see how all your underbody prep was going, mines at the same stage

its time for an update, i need inspiration

I guess it may come down to how much you will actually use the car. E.g - my last rotor only went 20,000k in the 11 years i owned it, so yea only reason PC would really shit itself would be the prep. stuff it im just gonna do mine by hand , etch prime and a good ol can of emanel black! - see how it goes

Powder coating looks nice, i have heard mixed opinions on PC vs paint, been weighing it up myself, either way having a super clean setup always looks the goods

Got the cover- nice work

if youre willing to travel the greater Auckland area, North Harbour metal polishers do wheels. I have found out lately that a lot of polishing companys do not do wheels

I know a guy on the shore who might do ya garnish for you, works from home as something to do on the side from his normal job, ill hit him up, otherwise there is a guy in gleneden who is a real hermit but does awesome work, ill see if I can get his details too

Great progress, keep at it and you'll be rolling in no time Very cool car

Yep bugger all around, so an original or resto-mod, at best will fetch good coin if sold. There are loads of people dreaming of a 2 coupe find, def one of the most sought after mazdas. Are you sure yours is 75? As the dogbone taillights were fitted at that stage. Could of been one that sat in the showroom a bit longer More pics!

You can buy either all orange or all clear lenses from phills rotaries in australia. Imo, deleting factory body parts isnt a good idea on cars as rare as these

Sweet, another 2 coupe build I can rob ideas from,this one looks a mint base Lots of pics please

Ball joints will be ok, the stubs are very noticable in size difference The other main diff is the diamter whrre it presses in, about 4+mm difference I think

Was good to have a nosey around this car on sunday, (drury bp) I am so impressed with this car, amazing work and huge inspiration Well done

I reckon you get stuck into doing the body work

you have money now -finish it

No sorry, I should of clarified as a similar 'condition' project mines a 71 Capella RE, jap assembled and NZ new I wouldn't normally post on others build threads, but as you asked- bonnet very dusty, this was the day it came out of a shipping container after 11 years

Awesome find, very similar to the one(rx2 coupe) ive found and am restoring. Will keep a keen eye on this thread. You dont want to sell one of your boot lock and latches do you?

try clamping off each line once youve bled it and clamp l/h to bleed right hand etc is your propotioning valve working properly??? but as the others have said check all joints for leaks

u'd be outta pocket 5 bucks then valve seals yes do it in place yes use a air compressor and fitting to pressurise cylinder yes remove cam shaft yes half a days labour yes mitsi mechanic
