Hi fellow mazda people, bit of an update,
i had fitted the new headresr speakers, and the free kenwood radio is spot on. so thats another problem fixed, need to tidy up the bit of foam though but its all i had in stock.
The water leak has miraculously disappeared, and i have`nt really done anything so i will keep an eye on it.
After returning the car to the road again after xmas, its just got better and better with use.
Free revving engine, pinpoint steering and good brakes ,its going great. The pipe that the gearbox ate has not been an issue, and gearchange is sweet after the car warms up, bit stiff when cold but are`nt we all.
Work coming up,
new windscreen,
clean and paint under the wheel arches,( most underbody already done before xmas)
new cam belt when the weathers a bit warmer,
treat cavities to some wax treatment in summer
I have managed to collect a full set of wishbones and subframes which i am hoping to powder coat then put new bushes in and swap over when ready.
i also got a set of teardrop doorcards cheap, but the hardboard is no good, so i am going to make up some new ones (hardboard) the vynil is ok.
