  18. Hi all finally got myself another old car, after spending the last couple years driving mid 90's sedans of various boredoms lol so here it is, my 83 mazda familia bd of e5 power and automatic drive. since it is my daily driver, plans will be pretty basic at this stage, but a manual conversion is high on the prioritys lol pulled the door cards off today and popped the dents out of the doors. both doors and the rear hatch really need to be replaced as they are fairly rusty, but the rest of the car is pretty straight and rust free.
  19. sorry if this seems like a random question but do you work for avon city ford?
