kyteler Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 If you can make this as slick as your other rides it will be amazeballs. That said, I already like the look of it even as you bought it, a few minor tidies and sorted. 1 Quote

Fighting the urge to pull it too bits and start from scratch haha, going to do enough to get it useable/safe etc for summer is the plan at the moment. 13 hours ago, maxted said: awesome to see some more old mazdas on oldschool! cool coupe man cheers man glad to have my hands on one, should of bought one 3-4 years ago when they were probably half the price they are now haha. 10 hours ago, kyteler said: If you can make this as slick as your other rides it will be amazeballs.

Yeah pretty much the plan now, tidy up a heap of things, getting it looking good and everything going which is a decent job in itself. 3 hours ago, dabuzz said: I know this car, was in wellington with a 10a nosecone plates were 1LOWHO, a mate of mine bought it up to Auckland (Darren) and fitted the flares and BBS blacked out etc Very tidy bodywise, guard hacking aside, good score! ah yes interesting i did know it was from wellington thats apparently when this motor got put in it which was supposedly a pretty nice wee 13b built by Lawton at the time...Body is solid and in good nick, couple of minor rust gremlins to sort and the guard hacking but to be expected for its age. Was suprised how mint and straight the floors and sills etc are on it. 2 hours ago, anglia4 said: Mate. You're starting to amass too much cool shit. That looks fucking rad!

Nominal Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Good result on the chrome. Looks way better and the price was right. Quote
kiwi808 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Nice work on the return to chrome! As an FYI you can buy the number plate brackets from Phil’s Rotaries for the front bumper. Worth getting so you can mount the front number plate properly. Quote
flyingbrick Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Glad he's changed them because they dumb. Jesus it's a sweet looking car tho.. those flares will look sooooo great 1 Quote
