1997 Protege LX, 5 speed manual.
Purchased June 20, 2012 with 197,993 miles.
Here's how it looked when I brought it home:
Minor cosmetic issues included a busted LH front corner lamp, smashed RH tail light, missing gas cap. Those were addressed immediately. Parts were ordered and arrived three days later.
Before:
After:
I have headlights on order as well, but they have not arrived yet. In the meantime, things are ziptied together:
Taillight after replacement:
Gas cap was missing, and paper towels were being substituted by the PO.
Replaced with a new OEM Mazda cap for $8.00:
I also took the slack out of the throttle cable:
And put a new rubber cap on this doo-dad:
Is there supposed to be a breather hose connected to this?
I also have a missing rubber boot on the underside of the transmission. It's the rubber piece that covers the square opening where the shift linkage enters the transmission under the car. Does anyone know what this is referred to, or happen to have a part number?
