Sell me parts, tell me what Im doing wrong and about lack of progress here.

Picked  up this little beast cheap off trademe with automatic issues. 

Turned up to pick it up and it was a lot tidier than it appeared in the pictures. The lady i got it from is the 2nd owner with her mum having bought it new in 1982. Trailer it home and set about flushing the automatic transmission. Old fluid looked nice and burnt so new fluid and filter went it. Started her up and left her to warm up. Came back , jumped in and put her in drive and off she went with no slipping or funny sounds anymore!! Success.

The little car went straight through her wof once I replaced the tail light and is now one of my dailies. Also tried on my Equips but they are far too wide at the front. Stick out about an inch and a half.

Will upload more photos soon

Ive just swapped the motors over in my new ute (project thread coming)

Its a Mitsi l200 86 with the good old 4G63. The new motor is a 4G62 as its all I could find.

Using the dizzy off the 63 it only has spark when I stop cranking the motor with the starter and with the dizzy that came with the 62 it only sparks while the motor is being cranked. Both are electronic units.

Im at  a loss at what could cause this apart from two broken distributors. The wiring to the coil hasn't been altered. My one doesnt have a ballast resistor installed but I dont know if it needs one?

Help??

I got a set of Kingstar tyres with whitewalls for my ute. SK72 series from memory. They should have something available in 14" aswell but it is hard finding a company that will try to actually get them for you (or was for me...)

I used to be through Club Auto (part of tower) and they were good. Then AMI started insuring all of my cars because I had a good record. Both are good for me, only ever had to claim on windscreens so far. NAC was mega expensive for my cars, turbo MR2 and Libero. Club Auto gave me a much better price

Otherside has the same spacing just shockie mount is on the opposite side

That could be the go, any clue what they come in??...

This photo might make it clearer, U bolts are sitting in the factory bump stops.

Im going to try slot them out but I need 15mm or so. Other bet is to go to the wreckers and have a hunt unless anyone has an idea/set of what the're meant to be

Bump stops have been removed aswell, not by me though. Will refit and try that first. Sounds like a bloody easy fix. Yeap problem is the U bolt on the angles

Its not easy to get a good photo now its off the hoist. Main issue is that the U bolts aren't straight up and down

I'm thinking its either RX3 or B1600 rear end but have no way to confirm

Hi all, just took my 323 for a WOF and have been told my rear spring plate? (mounting plates that the shockie bolts to) are wrong for the diff that's in it. I have no clue what the diff is from, is there anywhere that sells them, or an easy way to find the right ones?

buy new plATES n tags easy peezy

If you do that don't take it back to the same VTNZ 

See if the windows have an old number plate number etched into them. My one does and check it matches the plates on the car.  Might tell you if the plates on the car are at least the right ones

Buyee is really easy for small/cheap stuff. Quick shipping to

Ive got a set of the Riverside Stitch in 15" and they have Riverside cast onto the back of the wheel

Been busy sanding, not photos of progress as its not that interesting

Found out my widened steelies have been banded which is a no no. So started looking for new wheels

Got a pair of Sharaks off Born Loser, just need to find another pair to match now

Also springs and JAF badge 

Any Aussie company, Nolathane (Repco & Autolign) and Superpro (Supercheap) never had the Lancers so never made bushes for them. They don't exist in the listings 

Best bet is to measure up the bushes/ take them out and take them into autolign. Other option is to try Mitsubishi themselves. Had the same car and the same problem trying to find parts. 

Link?? Im keen to go just need some details

Emslie and Flockton are very good. A bit pricey but they are worth it. Other ones I have used are Newton and Skyes. Good panel beater but the paint wasn't as good as I hoped.

New parts!!!

Widened Stealies 13x7.5

One painted, one not

Also new/almost new indicator lenses

Only rotor bits left on it are the driveshaft and hydro clutch. Even the mounts have been cut off the crossmember. Welcome to come have a look at it before Monday if you need any bits

I like the metallic brown aswell. Its gona stay. Swapping front ends cause I like the older look/ more chrome/ Have widen steelies for it... Pics to come

The white car is stuffed. I got it minus motor etc. Inner guards cut out, had a big smack in the front and very neglected. Was only good for parts

Yeah. White one does have adjustables that the old owner is meant to be picking up , apparently b1600 diff. Asked in the tech questions as it looks the same as my one in the brown wagon. 

Front already off and being cleaned up. Trying to find nice tidy bits for it

Well after lurking for long enough decided to start my own project thread

Car is a Mazda 323 RWD. Came with standard 1300. Plans are to tidy it up, get it legal then maybe do some mods.

Link to discussion. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/42269-marshs-1984-mazda-323-wagon/

Pictures as everyone loves pictures

Day I got it

Put the dizzy back in, tidied up the engine bay and got it sort of running

And got this one for parts.

Current plan is paint roof, get wof.

Then tyres for my widened stealies 

Is that any help? Im going to pull the axles out later in the week. With wheels on the car spinning one wheel would turn the driveshaft but not the other wheel. Did the same for both sides?!?!
