rivalrx 348 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 I agree - the rear panel looks killer. I have a complete rx2 beaver panel, lights and garnish that will remain a wall hanging for now, as it's likely I keep this look. The auto badge haha yea.....I need to double side tape the garnish on and this particular one has all the pins in tact on the back. My mate has another one with no pins, so I probably will get that as I'm loathed to cut the pins if someone else can use the original un-messed with one. 6 of us bought a tyre machine and balancer last week - this will be stashed in a mates shed and should save us loads on trye changing etc. That and earn us beer money for letting others use it. Some tyre places charge like wounded bulls for tyre removal/fitting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldrx7 2,285 Report post Posted January 23, 2017 Yep the 616 rear lights / garnish FTW. surely the 616 coupe would be one of the rarer piston'd mazda's around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi808 6,778 Report post Posted January 23, 2017 There is a guy on the North Shore who restored one. Keeping the 4 banger and 4x4 ride height. It's probably the only stock 616 coupe in NZ that's currently running and road legal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rivalrx 348 Report post Posted February 19, 2017 Riiight - now that RE union and the nats are done and dusted, I'm able to cobble together manpower to help piece together the sled. Just a couple more engine bay coats remaining and then we can get the front end in. Diff should be in this week 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rivalrx 348 Report post Posted February 21, 2017 I picked up some hi tensile bolts and 'cone lock' nuts. The guy told me there is no need for spring washers if you use 'cone lock' nuts? Anyone know if this is the case and if they are all good, can the 'cone lock' nuts be removed without compromising the 'cone lock' properties? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rembrandt 6 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 Engine bay looks like it came out well. I guess the front end is going in next? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rivalrx 348 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 Yea - next steps... Front struts, steering, sway bar and arms in = rolling extend oil pick up and then I can put the sump on.
