let me know what ya think here

rotahavik has started to bore me and enjoy looking over this forum everyday when i have time so thought id post up my major project.

is a 1978 mazda 323 2 door hatch which i pick up from oamaru in feb-ish 2010.

pictures will explain alot but here are a few details:

13bpp rx4 race block out of a rx3 from australia.

rebuilt s4na box with shortened shifter

rebuilt hilux diff with stud pattern changed

new bushes EVERYWHERE

8x new autometer guages

custom suspension

jailbar grille setup

brandnew headlights and bezels plus tailights

top of the line 5 puk clutch

varex dumpy

nana pieces:

venetian blinds

suction cup roof rack

widened 13x7 rx3 steelies

crochet blank for rear seat

beaded front seat covers

dash mat

mint og rx2 steering wheel

exterior sunvisor

am radio

so far have spent a heap of time stripping it back to steel and getting it all right, sourcing all the missing parts (still 1 to go) and alot of money.

a couple pics

enjoy.

well the sheel and all its panels are currently sitting in a panelbeaters shop in town. waiting paitiantly for it to be done. have been done it'll be done by xmas so i can assemble it if i have any time off.

also waiting for some 175/50/13 toyos to arrive from japan to fit on my fresh custom steelies. have been waiting just over 3 months but thats due to the shits thats happened over there this year.

heres a couple pics of the wheels and another "nana" piece ive collected.

tyres finially showed up. just a lil stretch but will defently help make it a road scrapper.

175/50/13 toyos. wheels are 13x7, might get my other 2 spare seelies made into 8s depending how these go with the hatchy. hilux diff hasnt been shortened and is abit longer than the 323 one so im hoping its perfect for a "hellaflush look" otherwise will get new wheel made
