    Shorestivas 88 323 GT

    Figured I should finally make a build thread for this. Bought this one about a year and a half ago has around 203k on it now. It was all original except for the steering wheel when I bought it. Now it has a 2.5in dp back exhaust, HKS j-pipe, HKS turbo timer, egt power glass sunroof, ACT clutch, and I put in a cd player. It sat for a long time and its alittle rough but no rust.

    The clears faded and some kids keyed the side side of it. The quarter panel has weed and a tic tac toe board keyed in it.























    digital dash when it decides to work

    Bored at work so I relocated the front plate



    Since my stiva is pretty much done I needed a new project so Im starting on this. The plan right now is just a respray, 4x100 lug conversion, and lower it.

    Disassembling it for paint.




    Turns out its not as rust free as I thought.

    This...


    Was hiding this...



    A 1/8th in layer of bondo over rust. I may just try to find a new door instead of fixing it.

              I know its impossible to find any bfs or mazda bgs here especially down here on the shore. A guy in sykesville posted this one on the yahoo gtx forum. He bought it new in 89 and took really good care of it.

                    you see them at crazy rays all the time, but you reeeaally have to haggle with them about buying a whole car after it hits the yard. thats what i had to do to get the black car and it wasnt in the greatest shape.
